Year of Projects: Year 5, Week 2

Oh dear, I am not starting this year off very well on the blogging front!...I am a day late on this list, but I want to make sure I keep it up...and I totally forgot about the Wednesday WIP post....sigh......

2018 Finished Projects:

Millennial Slytherin Mitts - Jan 6, 2018 
KG AMi - Jan 10, 2018

So I do have two finished projects so far this year....The mitts were for my student teacher.  I ordered Gryffindor yarn, but then found out she was a Slytherin! (I'm a Ravenclaw) So looked around my stash and found that White Birch yarn....the colors are just a bit off, hence the Millennial title....
The KG amigurami was inspired by Kristy Glass....I gave it to her on Saturday at Vogue Knitting Live...it was a thank you for hosting the pie party during Rhinebeck....
I made her two hats...the cowl also comes off this dress and I made a poncho/serape too...

I realized while making this, that I really miss making amirguramis!  So I will have to get back to making more this year......

I went to Vogue Knitting Live in NYC on Saturday...I will post about it on Tuesday.....we are getting snow again, so we may have another snow day on Wednesday...sigh!!!

Only started one new project, the Blue Wave hat...I bought the yarn from Backyard Fiber works on Saturday....


Works In Progress:         
WIPS: Crochet:
Round Ripple: (Started 2006 (?) Aiden)-not sure he'd want this anymore, being a high school freshman and all, but I think I'll finish it for him. He is now a sophomore.
Around the World Afghan: (April 2010): about ¼ done - I looked at this recently and I'm still liking it, so I'll keep it...maybe make it a baby blanket instead.
Sunrise Sunset Afghan: this has been hibernating awhile, 6 squares done. I still love the look of this.

Shark in the Woods (11/27/14)- I really love this, but it's a lot of cabling and I'm not a fan..about 1/2 done.
