PIP your current/next project

[emjacobs]

I'll post when I get home this evening and I have my list. I have committed to 90% of Christmas presents will be crocheted this year so I'm making my list of patterns, colors, etc. so that I can start keeping my eye out for good deals.

I'm still working on the crazy afghan, but I *think* it will be done this month, it needs about another 1.5-2 feet and then possibly an edging but I'm not 100% on if I'm going to edge it.

[bluelikejazz]

After all my Christmas knitting/crochet, I've brought this back out (it won't let me PIP)

I'm only about 3 inches in, but I'm happy so far!

I'm making this hat for my mom

I'm considering pulling this one out of my WIP pile to at least work on, if not finish

Edited to add actual pictures so Rock won't yell at me I have most of the hatband for the beret done, and about 7" of the shawl done ::blushes::

I've been working on this sweater for DS for a while now. I need to get on it so that he can actually wear it before he grows out of it.

(There's only one picture of it in the ravelery pattern and it doesn't show much...I tried to find the picture from the phildar catalog, but I'm not finding it for some reason).

I'm working on a baby quilt for a friend from my anniversary board. Her H is a fire fighter, so I picked adorable fire fighter bear fabric for the back, and the front is a patchwork fire hydrant.



ETA: This is the backing fabric- I can't find a picture that isn't tiny or huge.

It's all pieced and sandwiched, I just need to quilt and bind.

Then I have a couple of tshirt quilts to get through.

I'm nearly done with a Shalom cardigan (www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/shalom-cardigan) in worsted with sleeves. I'm pretty optimistic about the fit -- looked just about perfect when I tried it on, with a little room to grow in blocking. Just need to spend some time on the sleeves and get them done!

And a question: I'm using this color (Knitpicks Wool of the Andes in Claret Heather)
What color buttons should I go for? I have buttonholes all the way down, not just at the top.

charlatti, you forgot to include the URL in your link.

It was there in the code, just not working. Weird.

[kaz2009]

Can someone tell me how to PIP and then I can show you some projects... I'm posting from an iPad and the photos are on Picasa if that makes any difference... Last time I tried it didn't work....

[drloretta]

I'd go for silver buttons, but you could also try dark wood, or some clear-ish ones that match up with one of the colors in the yarn (which is lovely BTW).

[kaz2009]

Lets see if this works... This is a quilt I made my mum over the summer...

lh5.googleusercontent.com/-uhb-Og2i9aQ/UIxqAFLkzsI/AAAAAAAAIFk/5_DEBA3Jeww/s400/_IGP9073.jpg

It's the first real quilt I have ever actually managed to complete... I've made a few rag quilts and I have some quilt tops to finish off....


ETA... I can get a link to work... But not an image to post.... Will play with it more later and hopefully get it to work!

I am planning on starting this throw and pillow for one of my best friends as her bridal shower gift. She's not getting married until Aug 2014 so I have plenty of time. She's one of the biggest supporters of my handmade stuff and genuinely loves anything handmade so I'd love to do it for her. Slight change of colours so it matches her livingroom she's slowly putting together though.... cream, caramel and chocolate brown.

[charlatti]

See, that's why I didn't PIP the project -- mine is modified so much that it doesn't really look like that at all. More like this:


I like the teal and silver ideas.

I am working on a new sweater for myself. January always seems to be sweater month for me.

It's the Cloudy Sunday found here:

www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/cloudy-sunday

[aprilsails]

On top of the sweater, I have two baby quilts in the works (a boy and a girl quilt for a family member. Whichever one isn't the right one gets donated to a local charity auction).
I'm copy catting the attached fish pattern for the boy and the girl one will be similar to the butterfly strands one below.

I also have a wedding quilt that I've started for friends but no pictures and no real copy cat design either. It's an improv quilt with flying geese units and pinwheels. I've just made 40 or 50 pieces so far and eventually I'll figure out some way to put it all together.

[aprilsails]

And the butterflies, which are based on a tutorial from Fresh Lemons Modern Quilts.

So pretty! I so rarely make something for myself, I need to do that more!

[cmeon]

Preschool started up again this week- and Gwen is going now!! 3 glorious hours every morning- 2 of them during what I consider "okay to use powertools" hours. LOL I try to be a good neighbor.

I got my upgraded scroll saw in a few weeks ago, and I've been having a lot of fun practicing all week. This is what's come of it so far:


^Click if you want the blog post.

I hadn't planned on making them anything but practice, but, little G loves them, so I'm going to continue the farm theme, and make her a little barn/stable, too.

[sierramist03]

I'm working on cutting out cupcake wrappers and hopefully soon a ironing board cover.

Did you just make those up yourself? Your projects come out so cute, I can't stand it!

Oh, thank you! I really am still in the "WTFamIdoing" stage with the scroll saw, so, I really appreciate the compliments- LOL! The elephant was just me with a piece of wood, practicing curves, and *poof*, there was an elephant. The cow and pig and horse were all strongly inspired by an Etsy seller who does up the ante on cute.

I love this!

[water*drop]

Thanks! I'm really excited about it...I just need to find the time to finish it.

[flatlan]

I am currently working on this.

[PinkSquirrel]

I'm still plugging along on the advent scarf, but needed a bit of a break.  So, I'm knitting these gorgeous fingerless mitts

[drloretta]

Love the design on the fingerless mitts! Impressive

[PinkSquirrel]

I fought with proboards getting the picture to post that the pattern link got left out. This is the pattern for the mitts

[brittmk0922]

Weird, I have never had a problem seeing pictures on here before, and now apparently I do...
Even weirder is it looks like the pictures I can't see are TinyPic, but I use that myself to post pictures lol

That is so cute!

I originally tried to post from flickr and couldn't get them to show up, so I had to use tiny pic which some people can't see. Damn you proboards.

I am seriously going to end up buying a scroll saw because of you. You keep outdoing yourself. Seriously.
