Progress of the day - 30th jan

Huzzah! Managed to finish two projects today! First off I finished the second pair of ugly scrap socks.

And then I finished off Jackie, the grey cable sweater! I'm still missing the buttons cause they haven't arrived in the mail yet, and I also need to block the cowl a little, but it is fresh off the hooks with all ends weaved in! I am wearing a t-short with white print on it underneath so it's not too tight over the chest, it's just glaring through the purl stitches.

I will get better pictures of it whenever I've recieved the buttons. Which reminds me, I've never showed off the buttons before! I got them off ebay and I think they'll look good on the sweater. I'm also thinking about sewing on double the buttons needed so I can regulate the sleeves more.

It is a glorious day (night) indeed! Now, I got several new project planned and I might start some of them tomorrow...even though I should be focusing on the UFO's I got lying around the livingroom... Oh well!

Sleeves done!

FREAKING FINALLY!

They didn't take forever, but I just hate working with thick needles! Just finished the hard couple of rounds after you put the sleeves on the needle too, that's the worst part... And now my arms ache!

Hopefully, it'll all be worth it!

Progress of the day - 19th

There's really not too much to blog about when I'm only focusing on one project, but I am doing progress on Jackie though! Finished the first sleeve today and I'm about halfway done with the second... Starting to feel the ache of thick needles in my shoulder though...

The cables and ribbing makes the sweater look really tiny, even though it's actually size L/XL.

Progress of the day - 16th jan

Another kinda quiet day. Didn't get too much done either cause I decided to bake chocolate cookies!

But as of yarn crafts, I did manage to finish the first chair blanket, more or less. Still need to weave in ends and all that and maybe get a boarder going around it, but I managed to finish connecting everything! And yes, it is supposed to be this thin and long, it's going in a chair.

There's still a whole nother blanket I need to get working on, got all the squares though so that part I don't have to worry about. But seeing as just the connection part takes about a week if not longer...I'm dreading it... Doing all the connections and crocheting around every single square on this first one took about 3 and a half skein og black yarn. I got 10 in total, so hopefully I'll be able to do a boarder around each blanket when I'm finished. After both blankets are all done, I'll wash them and do a little bit of blocking just to even the squares out. Some of them had different sizes even though I used the same hook. Dang yarn thickness...

I also picked up another of my UFO's today, my Jackie sweater! I spent an eternity just looking for the dang pattern but couldn't find it anywere, so I decided to just take a shot in the blind, pick a size and read the rest of the pattern on my computer. From the picture on the UFO blogpost, there's really not much progress, so I'm not gonna bother with getting a new picture of it, so here's an old one!
