The work in progress thread

[kittenta]

I love all sorts of crafts but over the last few months have taken up parchment craft. It's lovely and very addictive.

 

 

So what have you made so far?

So, how is everyone getting on?

 

I still haven't finished the Huskys ear

'Lo. I am currently covering the cushion of my friend's kitchen stool in zebra fabric and adding ears and a tail. It just has to go on the legs now. Rather childish I know but funny in a daft way. My friend asked me to make her one after she saw what I'd done to my desk chair (it has cow hair and horns. No udder). Will get photos up sometime so people can admire/ridicule (delete as appropriate).

I've got a couple of "Works in Progress", ATM, I'm 99.99% finished on a pair of socks I'm knitting for D-W, I'm just struggling with something called "Kitchener Stitch" to close the last dozen or so stitches on the toes of them. I can't gett o grips with it.

 

I've started a pair for myself, too, I'm only a few inches in, on the first sock.

 

I'm making another baby blanket for my nephew, it's one of those where you knit in a sort of triangle, starting with 4 stitches, and increasing at the Beg of every row, till it's the right width, then decrease one at each end till it's back to the three stitches again.

 

The socks, I'm really pleased with, I think they've turned out really well. (thanks, jill, for your help with the heel, BTW! )

I wish I could make socks, I can never find any without holes in

 

If you need any help with knitting ideas etc try out the knitting group (if you haven't already)

 

Let us know how the blanket comes along
