YOP- Week Three

I've had a finish for something totally not on the list, some progress on the Spring Baby Granny which is on the list and I'm adding a few things too.

I have a coworker that has a niece on the way, due next week and I've already made her some summer sandals, when I was asked to make a cabbage patch hat. I completed the hat and took it in to check on the details, braids or ponytails and ribbon color. She decided the totally curly look wasn't what she was looking for so back to the drawing board  hooks I went. So now we have "bangs and pony tails". Hopefully this will fill the bill. The other will go into the Bazaar box, so not such a big deal.




Progress on the Spring Baby Granny, I think maybe two more rounds and a half double border and this will move on to the finished pile too. I'm sure I have another skein of the green, that's all that's holding me up right now is the diving into the stash boxes to find it.


So before I do that I had to decide what was next on the list. I really wanted to do a light shawl to have ready for me to wear to the fall farmers market. Nothing too flashy but fashionable. I have the Yes, Yes Shawl on my list and I just need to find the right yarn for it. I have some wool in mind, but so I have enough is the question. Add that to the list of things to look for today.

And on to the adds, I have always had a few Stuffies on my list but I've spent a bit too much time on pintrest this week and I think I have to add a few more. They would be a good item to have on hand for sales and quick kids gifts. I have always wanted to do a moose for me and Kitties for E,  and who doesn't love a unicorn plus I know exactly who to do a goat for,so I think I'll be updating the list with a few of those too.

If you want to join in the fun check out the Year of Projects group in Ravelry.

    1. Thanks! I dropped it off this morning and she was thrilled. To top it all off I actually had a baby item complete before the baby arrived. She was born this afternoon and her new aunt can't wait to see it on her. :)
      I try to stretch the idea of what baby colors can be. We'll see if the general public agrees..lol

    1. I've done a few stuffies, and some have been quick and others seemed to take forever. I made E a large Octopus and I was sure I would have a breakdown before I got all the pieces done. But she loves it and that makes it worth it.
      Thanks for the complements!

    1. My friend seems pretty happy with this one, we'll see what the parents think, aunt's sometimes have a different sense of fashion that mom and dad..lol.
      Unfortunately I'm always looking for a new project, but the list has really encouraged me to pull out somethings and move them from WIP to FO! And for that I am always grateful!

  7. Stuffed toys are so fun to make! I was poking around trying to decide what to do with some dishcloth cotton when I saw a Ravelry post about some Rebecca Danger monsters from Peaches & Cream cotton ... hammy!
