Bags:
Beach Bag: (started May 2010)  Just needs lining sewn in, I used it this year without the lining...so may just call it a day on this..


Last post I showed the three (four) sock WIPs I finished and/or reknit.  I have finished three more projects since them...First up, the Beekeeper.....So this was an Olive Knits 4 day knit in 2018.  It took two years, but hey I love it!
The yarn is Malabrigo Arroyo...I talk about it more on episode 14 of my vlog. (It was really hot that day!) I can't wait to wear it this fall.

The second finished object is the emPower People cowl by Casapinka.  I've become a big fan of Casapinka this summer.  This is a free pattern, there is also a free crochet version, by BzyPeach, which I will also be making.
 
The yarn is by Neighborhood Fiber Co.  I absolutely loved this yarn and intend to buy some more.  It's a bad picture, haven't taken a project photo yet...

And the last finished project is my Grinchmas socks!  I love these...just a vanilla sock, the yarn by Night Owl Fibers..
And there have been some new castons and starts....

I'm crocheting some espadrilles.  I started a pair of Go-veralls for a baby shower.  And started a couple more pairs of socks....so my WIPs are not getting any lesser...LOL...

I have published two new episodes in the past three weeks, if you'd like to take a peek...the first one is the The One With the Stitchmarkers


And the second one, I talk about my sock WIPs....Angela of YarnnYarns is doing a summer sock WIP KAL that I joined...


So I guess that will be it for this week...again, so sorry I didn't post.....It's been a weird summer...

Well no wonder you don't have time to post what with all your FOs and WIPs and vlogs. You are busy lady! I love the colour and stitch of the beekeeper.

Your Grinch socks look so cool! For such an intricate looking pattern I think beekeeper would take me months not days or weeks. The orange suits you and who cares if it took 2 years, it looks lovely.

Alissa said...

Beekeeper is gorgeous. What a great color!

Your beekeeper turned out great. What a perfect color for the fall. Your grinchmas socks make me smile. The colors are so cheery. Nice job on the cowl too. Your are all set for cooler weather.

It really has been a crazy year, I'm surprised any one is able to keep up with the days or stay on track. Your Beekeeper is absolutely gorgeous, The color is great and I am certainly impressed by all of your finishes. I'm quite enamored of your grinch socks too!
You give me hope to see some of my long wips end up as finished projects.
