More FO's

Before I start catching up on all of my lastest projects, I'm excited to announce that I will be receiving a spinning wheel in the next couple of days! I don't know what type it is, or what it looks like but a nice lady at the guild meeting offered it to me. It's her 95 year old mother's, and she can't spin, so I get the wheel. I'm bouncing off the walls in anticipation until it gets here. ^-^

So now for the projects. ;)





I did a close up on the blanket so that the lacy-ish pattern can be seen. This blanket took me FOREVER, considering most of my projects are done in no more than a month. I think this was a UFO most of my senior year of high school, and I just finished it in early June. This will be travelling with Victoria to MIT in August. ^-^

The next is an Irish crochet pincushion that I found on the Knitting Daily website and instantly fell in love with. I love the lace doily delicate look and it works wonders for all the pins I need for my first ever quilting project. It is much easier to make than it looks.

An aside about Knitting Daily: I am incredibly frustrated with them right now. I can't watch it in my area and cannot afford to by the DVD's! They show it a mile south of my town and several miles north, but not HERE! I could literally drive to a friends house and watch it there, it shows that close to me but not on my own TV. I think I might just call PBS and give them a piece of my mind....

Anyway, the last project is a fair isle scarf I made with some frogged yarn from a failed design idea. I think the design was pretty, but another lady on ravelry beat me to the finish and her design is prettier. So I just stopped. If your curious, it is a design for the fair isle hermione scarf from the latest released movie. It's gorgeous, you should really look it up. :]

All for now, but be assured there will be a spinning post in the near future...BWHAHAHAHA! Thanks for reading!
