It's Tuesday!

 

  Time for Tuesday's Tallies again. I didn't show my work last week. I had added Meadow green to my Stylin Ripple and I really wasn't sure if I liked it. I kept plugging away hoping that I would change my mind. My Mom got here yesterday and I asked her if she thought the green should come out. She said yes. So, I pulled out 12 rows. Yes, 12 rows. But I am happy with how it looks now.

  I just finished row 42 which happens to be how many days I have been working on it. I like it much better this way and I got my second order of Stylecraft in the mail yesterday. I won't be using every color in the pack for this blanket, but now I have plenty to use just the colors I want. I won't use Meadow, Saffron, Spring Green and Aspen. I can make something else with those. I love green, I just didn't like how it was looking in this particular blanket. I am making this blanket with the One-a-day group on Ravelry.

 On Thursday my friend sent me a text with a photo of a coffee cup with an elephant cosy and asked if I could make her one. I looked and looked for the pattern for the thing and couldn't find it. So I came up with my own. I think it is pretty cute. I actually love elephants and collect them, I might have to make one of these for myself.

I don't know if you can see his tail and his ears aren't that smushy looking.

Kind of hard to tell. It is supposed to be in the seventies today and sunny. In an hour or so my Mom and Autumn will get up and then we are headed over the border to Illinois to go to the Niabi Zoo. I can't wait. It is a nice little Zoo and it just opened for the season last week. I hope everyone has a wonderful week and for everyone else who is on Spring Break this week, stay safe and enjoy.

Catch Up

Hi everyone,
 It seems like I have been really busy for the last two weeks. My Mom is coming to visit tomorrow and I am taking the week off, Autumn is off for Spring break too. It will be fun, especially after all the running around we have been doing lately. I haven't gotten much work done on my projects, but here is what I have been doing.

This little guy was one of the CALs we did in the Everything CAL group over on Ravelry. The name of the pattern is Roly Poly Kat. Very quick and easy little project.

 I also joined Karisma in making this sweater for a CAL with the same group (Everything CAL). I thought it turned out really cute. I will take pictures of the baby wearing it when I get to work today.

I actually enjoyed this pattern. I know Karisma didn't like the way it had to be sewn together and it has inspired her to come up with her own pattern, which I am eagerly awaiting. I liked it though. It was small and easily portable.
 Here is another photo with the little lady that I gave the sweater to.

 I also tested a pattern for my friend Lucy, it was top secret until this morning I saw she had published it on her blog. Please look at her blog, her wrist warmers are much prettier.

I have to admit that mine aren't as pretty, but I only had two colors available in my DK scrap assortment. The pattern calls for 7 different colors. I loved the pattern, it was easy to follow and works up quickly. I am going to make some more when I have all the colors.
 I also made a potholder for  the Everything CAL group I belong to.

It came out a little wonky, but I think I will press it and see how it looks.
I will post for Tuesday's Tallies, I missed this week but I do have some progress to show. I will see everyone soon. :)
