Craft Wrap-Up
One way in which I distract myself in times of stress is to craft. This week was stressful. So craft I have.
Quilting
Quilting
- Mystery Quilt: pieced the center of the top. I'm still over this piece, and have been ignoring the fiddly piecing that has to happen.
- Surprise Quilt not on the list! I've picked up the piecing for my son's quilt. If I keep this up, I'll have a long twin quilt top completed before the end of the month. He still loves it (he picked out the fabrics back before Kindergarten) and I'm aiming to have it complete and on his bed by the time school starts in the fall.
- My Quilt: (ignored) With the no need to think of my son's quilt's piecing, I think this one will sit a little longer.
- The jelly roll quilt: I've showed the fabric to everyone who would hold still long enough to look. I'm pondering background colors now.
- Spring Socks: Motoring to the cuff!
- Baktus: Not zooming, but there is progress. I have a locking stitchmarker on the fabric so I can see how far I get since the last time I moved it.
- LIME GREEN TANK: So very not going to be completed for my trip. However, it has been worked on this week, and I think I'll have the main body halfway done before my trip. So there's that.
- Orange top: (ignored) The swatch is not to what the pattern wants. Which means maths. I already knew i had maths to do, so this is no real surprise. I also have to get around to measuring ME, so the maths make sense.
- (ignored) No movement. Sigh. But I've been eyeing it more. That's something. I think it might be a travel project, for when I'm back in the room after being in the office all day.
- Market Spinning: Still in not-quite-done singles. My goal was to be plying today, and I may still reach that, as long as the spinning is ALL I do this evening. But the Boy's quilt has a siren song...we'll see what happens.
- Selfish sock yarn: (ignored) no movement. Well, beyond shifting the spinning wheel from here to there. And then it came off the wheel, and is now sitting there, scolding me.
- 3#Fiber: (ignored) Still need to wash and whack the spindle-spun fiber, but I'm out of Soak, so until I pop over to the bra shop in town, it sits. (I am planning to get over that way tomorrow, I hope, so it will happen). And that's all there is to that.
