Just as Short note this week to show the progress on the owl cocoon. It's finally coming together. lots of lose ends and a couple more crocodile rows to go and it will ready to send off. I'm also working on a blanket and a hat for the baby but I might just go ahead and gift the cocoon since it was a request.

AS for the Crocodile stitch, I had made it much worse than it really was. I'll be looking for another project to use it in. Any suggestions? Tell me do you love it, can you do with out it or like me and just hadn't tried it..
Figs are on and that's taking time away from crafting and soon fall bazaars and shows will start so I need to fit it all in. I could use another four or five hours to my day lately..lol.
These are what took up so much of my normal crafting time this weekend!
As for my yearly list, I think I'll be carrying over the majority of the items. I am glad to say that some of it can be cleared off and a few things will be added. But one thing I can say is that I have kept my promise to myself to go cold sheep and only buy what I had to have for a project, like the owl. The stash has taken over and it needs to work it's way down a container or two, so that I can make room for other projects, like a quilt rack and the spinning wheel!
Thanks for stopping by and hopefully I'll have a Friday Finish! If you'd like to join a Year in Projects or Just check out some more great blogs check us out on Ravelry.
The owl is adorable!!!! Great job! I haven't done the crocodile stitch but I want to try it, just haven't worked a pattern with it in it.
ReplyDeleteYour owl is just so adorable, I love it! I've not done the crocodile stitch but I do love the look of it.
ReplyDeleteCute owl. I havenot tried the crocodile stitch. I do admire it thoughh. Yum, figs..........are you canning, dehydrating or making preserves or what with them?
ReplyDeleteWhat do you do with figs? I don't eat enough of them. The owl cocoon is adorable! It's very detailed.
ReplyDeleteI love the owl cocoon, that will be very loved by the recipient.
ReplyDeleteI love the owl cocoon too - and now I have to go look up what a crocodile stitch is. I love learning new things.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the stash busting - that is my goal for 2016 too. So far so good.

Oh wow! That Owl Cocoon is adorable! I haven't tried (or been really drawn to try) the crocodile stitch, but it's absolutely perfect as a detail on that owl. I think it could make an interesting pillow, too. Fins on a fish? Now that you've got my wheels turning, maybe I need to give it a go. ;^) I look forward to seeing how you use it again.
ReplyDeleteLove the owl cocoon, the baby is going to look so cute when snuggled up in it.
ReplyDeleteI have made two items using crocodile stitch. The first one was a practice sample that helped me understand how the stitch 'worked', and once I got that under my belt ok the second piece was boot-toppers in Christmas colours. It's a nice textural stitch that gives body to a garment and as it has multiple layers it makes a warm garment (or whatever).
love the owl it is so cute
ReplyDeleteThe owl cocoon is too cute. I could use a couple more hours in my day. So many things I'd like to make and do!
ReplyDeleteI think the crocodile stitch is a fun one but it takes a lot more yarn too. Those figs sure look good. I'd never had fresh figs until a few years ago when I was in Georgia visiting my dad. I wish we could have fruit trees here where I live. I'd have a house full of jars!
