October and where did the year go?

DANG!!!! It's already Fall and today is chilly so I can't really see it's coming. Winter is around the corner. Is this good - yes and no. I love the cold but will miss shorts. I have been really busy working on stuff. I wanted so bad to finish several projects and am having a hard time doing so. Seems just too busy. I have finished these though.

Hopefully I can get the rest of the Pictures up here soon. Hope you have a great Halloween..!

Busy Bee this month.

Althought it has been a REALLY busy month, I have managed to get somethings complete.
I finished this and this . This is the Arrow Shawl from Annette Petavy . I did two of them for the simple fact I was experimenting. I have issues with Wool so I used cotton the first time. An egyptian cotton and then I switched to what the shop told me was a finger weight and I think it is Feather weight. This is the size of a scarf....LOL. I also have worked on these. and . I finised a sweater that I had to work on a bit.

September

With all the storms rolling through you would think I could get some Crocheting done. I wish!!! I have managed to Knit a Cowl I designed. Knit a Scarf I designed and a Neck Cowl that Buttons that I designed. I switched to knitting for a break. I am working on a CAL with Ravelry for the Turnberry Cardigan by TheCrochetDude. I can't wait to move on with it. I have so much I want to do but so little time. Recently we lost our Washer and Dryer and this weekend I lost the Refrigerator in our kitchen. UGH. We lost all our food and had to replace everything. One more day in paradise. Things Happen. So soon I will have some patterns available, hopefully!!

August is Here.

WOW. How did we get to August so quick. I guess I am lucky, I have already started Christmas shopping. COOL!! I found somethings at craft fairs for family and stashed them away. I also have some crochet I would like to finish for gifts but it has been so busy I haven't been able to keep up. My parents and sister are coming next weekend and that means cleaning and preparing for a visit. I recently commited to publishing a design so that will keep me busy for a while. I need to test my two patterns and then submit. So, well see what happens. I finished the Wrap I designed so that I will be posting soon. I need to take Pictures. I also completed a pair of wrist warmers and fingerless gloves. So winter here I come.

What in the heck am I doing now?

I am working on the below Heart Design. I created a graph for it and have started the pattern with Cotton wool blend size 3 thread. I used Plum and lavender. It is beautiful. However, I put that pattern on hold for a new Testing pattern I am working on for Carol Ventura. Her pattern is done in size 18 Omega Nylon. I am so use to smaller sized omega. I usually use size 2. So this is new for me. But I do like what is becoming the new bag. I took a small break between Elvis and the Omega bag. I made a shawl or Wrap. It is made with Senso size 3 cotton in Carmel and Tan colors. It turned out really nice. I just blocked it and need to throw on some tassells, then I will post pictures. I designed the pattern from old Motif's I had found a pattern for. After the Omega bag is done I am moving onto a stole called "Arrows" . There is alot of talk about this and I had to jump on that wagon. I bought the yarn this past week. But again I can not start that until I get done with the Omega bag.

New Bag To Make

This is something I have gone back and forth on. I didn't know if I wanted to do it. Since it is for me I will take My time and make it as I go. I am using the Pattern below to create a Tapestry Crochet bag. I love the design and hope it works out.

I am hoping to start these as well.

New Bags & Stuff

So this past month was really busy but I managed to add a couple of items to my stash. I started Elvis a while back and Rushed to finish him so i could mail him to my Mother In Law. The other two things I did in between to rest my hands.
