Second sleeve almost done!
Now I just need to figure out a good project to bring to Dublin.

Almost back to where I was on the first panel of my fading point. I had to rip back both panels so I’m only at about half the progress I had but it looks much better now!

I’m working on a crochet wrap for my mom for Xmas
it’s am easy pattern and I’m using fancy, luxurious yarn so it’s a dream. Almost to the first color change. I’m relieved the skewing/bias direction thing is coming together.

Tunisian crochet?
Nope! The basic kind. Just a row of half double crochet, skipping a stitch, and then a row of trebble crochet filling it all in.

Duh treble. You can see how frequently I actually use patterns for crochet (let alone ones with trebles).
ETA: Just realized the last time I did trebles in a pattern that wasn’t charted was… 2012. HOT DAMN.

I’ve been on a market bag kick this summer but also made a bunch of coffee cozies for my coworkers (I love swag 
)
And a rubber ducky blanket
Quack quack!

HA!! The coffee cup cozies are adorable. XDD
Also yes! Crochet buddies! 
I’m having a grand old time learning how it works. It is also so fast to do compared to knitting.

Those are very cute, QueenAlice. I’m not usually big on coffee cozies but those are adorable and I love the colors.
I may end up doing some crochet soon too! I’m so close to done with this sweater… I have to learn how to do short rows first. o___o

Annnnd I’m making the executive decision to alter the pattern. For whatever reason I don’t think the pattern yardage is right. Or I’m crocheting much differently than she did. \o_O/;;
Gonna change the # rows of each color so I don’t run out. Wish me luck!

I started a sock for the trip to Dublin, and then I decided that it didn’t go with the contrast toe. So I have ripped back that bit, and restarted with the Zauberball I picked up yesterday.
As you can see, it is knitting up very quickly, so I am going to put it aside for a bit and finish off the DK weight hat. Otherwise I won’t have enough to work on when the convention starts.

I do this in nearly every project. I mainly use patterns for the texture then make up the yarn type and gauge as I see fit. I think this is fine as long as you aren’t making fitted clothes

I love that color.
I finished my socks that I started in Dublin because I needed top-down socks to work on because I couldn’t do the magic cast on with the dpns I had with me. This uses up the Jill Draper yarn that I bought in San Fransisco and only looks good on the west coast. I’ll be wearing them in Toronto (unless someone here wants size 8-9 socks? I can mail them if you are interested), but it is fine because nobody looks at my socks anyways.
