In the holiday rush, (and I kick myself as I realize this), I forgot to capture on digital camera my crocheted creations. I made 10 scarves (two of them from this cute v-stitch pattern), 2 cowls (based on this convertible cowl pattern I found), and an ipad cover in a glorious red with the red angry bird's face sewn on in felt pieces (based on this ipad cover pattern). I also made one Hobbes the tiger. He lives in our home, so his photos and story will go into its own post at a later date. In the midst of all this gifting I whipped up 6 Marcel the Shells as well!
But even with all I DID accomplish, I am still mid project for at least 4 things! So without further ado, here's my W.I.P Wednesday pictures! The project are all now patiently waiting for me in my large new tote I got for Christmas ^_^
A first attempt at a double yarn project! Hoping the Oregon Duck's fan in our family will like it come his birthday ^_^ |
I am nearly done with this open lace style scarf. I based it on Mary Poppins' scarf, but in a peacock blue instead of coral. It should be finished with fringe if it ever gets done! |
The awesome large tote that now holds my W.I.P.'s! Thanks, Babe! |
And last I want to leave you with one of my favorite gifts of the 2011 year: A bird feeder! Yes, this bird feeder is going to be put out this spring, but with a unique purpose: as bird nest fodder for all the young birdie families in our yard. I saw this adorable idea on pinterest from fiberfarm.com and got this cutest bird feeder to stuff my yarn scraps in. I just think it will be so much fun to have the birdies build their nests with soft, colorful threads! It's like yarn bombing in disguise!
My bird feeder full of yarn scraps to be put out on the first day of spring! |
Happy New Year to all!

You really were a busy little crocheter. I completed a few projects for Christmas as well. Some still in process and will eventually get to their new owners.
