Get Crafty

Fiber Optics

Finished Objects
Jade	Nothing. Nada. Zip Zilch...
Sandy	Finished my Apres Surf Hoodie: I love it! I’ve worn it on a few outings and it’s perfectly light wear for cool spring nights.
WIPs
Jade	Pattern: Vanilla Socks Yarn: Does this black make my rainbow look big? (self-striping) White Birch Fibers Notes: She loves the yarn, love the stripes, and is slipping stitches to get a more slightly uneven striping pattern
Sandy	Cast on a River Run scarf for travel knitting. Very easy! http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/river-run-lace-scarf Knit Picks Gloss Fingering, colorway Dusk
Jade	Pattern: On the Beach by Isabella Kraemer Yarn: Miss Babs Yowza Notes: She picked up this top-down sweater again and is making very slow progress on it. She ripped the whole thing out and started from scratch, and is now doing the waist shaping. Her plans are to citric acid soak (AGAIN) the body and sleeves before she starts the color work.
Sandy	Work and gaming knitting: vanilla socks for Eric in a very old skein of yarn-- Brunswick Nylamb in the color Cranberry.   Fixed the heel.
Sandy	Started (and am nearly halfway done with) a Vintage Stripes crochet blanket http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/vintage-vertical-stripe-crocheted-blanket I’m using up so much of my single ball scrap wools on this!
Sandy	Cast on a slip stitch stash hat for charity. (Syrian knitting group on ravelry) http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/slip-stitch-stash-hat Using all my worsted scraps to make a sunset color theme. http://www.ravelry.com/groups/hats-and-more-for-war-torn-syria Going to alternate knitting for Afghans for Afghans and Syria this summer.
