First Finishes of 2015 and Jan ALYOF goal met!

I'm a ball of nervous energy.

It happens every year.  Around class play time.

I am an evil combo of exhausted and needing to make make make.

It doesn't help that I haven't been eating right since the first cold hit last year.  My weight has creeped up again, and my knees are bother me.  Time to reboot that weight loss because I have a physical coming up in the spring.

Anyway, when I have had enough attention to make things, I just want to keep going.

I've knitted one brickless shawl:

pics coming soon

And a second (it's even blocked!):



Finished my first pair of socks for 2015, the Hornet sock by Heather Walker:




Sewed three batches of knitting bags:
Batch one (my Jan ALYOF goal):



Batch two:


Batch three:


Wound a crap load of skeins.  (Each bag has a skein in it.)


Make a set of pillow cases:



and another:



They have met the nerdy level necessary for our house.  The Pirate (hubs) approves.

I started Scrap Monster 1. Sadly almost have a top and  my scrap bin looks untouched.


Here's one of my items for the #bitchesgetstitches swap.  I had fun on a shopping spree for extras before I mailed it out.



Oh, and I painted three flats worth of set....3 of 3 feet each...and some extra because I'm worried I cut one flat too small.

I've also got a top done that I'm pattern testing for a friend.  Haven't taken pictures of that one yet.

This weekend, I have to program a light board, assemble the three towers, decorate a throne, decorate a gingerbread man's head, and cut up a ghost costume.  Oh, and copy  the program.  Geesh.
Linking up to ALYOF.

Quarter 1, FAL 2015

Ok...so 2015 is going to continue in my long line of crazy lists.  This year will be a year of using up scraps and stash.  Which isn't to say I won't add to it....cotton + steel, I'm looking at you.  I know I've got some Doe headed my way as a Christmas present.  I know I won't finish this the first quarter, but I also don't know which WIPs/dream quilts/knitting will strike my fancy, so I'm throwing it all up online.  Something will stick.  First up is getting the knitting organized and getting rid of some scraps.  I'm starting scrap wrangling this weekend while I'm waiting for a yarn swift to get here.
