Sew Dance

I finished pages 2, 2a, and have most of 3 completed on Peacocks. If this looks familiar it's because it is. I finally finished my redo of my Chrysanthemum shawl. It now matches the finished size from the pattern, but I didn't use the 4th ball of yarn Also finished this little guy although I'm going to reattach his limbs so he's a little floppier. Right now he doesn't sit up on his own. Also going to add a mane. Also accomplished this week is forcing myself to write. I bought a course a few year ago and am going to make it through it to the end this time. I bundled the first 3 weeks of lessons together so at the moment, I'm letting my muse fly around and find me new ideas. So far it likes to bring them to me when I'm trying to go to sleep. I'm also back on the job hunt. I've had a freelance job since October and while that gave me peace of mind to take a rest from applying for a while, it's only once or twice a week now th...

My progress on Insanity. The next page is mostly sky, as is the rest of the row. It should hopefully take less time. Also, shipment #1 came in. Blue Dragon Fairy is backordered and the Threedles design was not a kit but a really detailed instruction sheet. Either way, I just had to start on Peacocks. I found it interesting how they packaged the anchor thread. And this is what I accomplished in about two hours around 3am. Had to stop because I had trouble focusing my eyes. And apparently my camera didn't orient correctly. Please tilt your head to the left to properly view photo. Ended up working on this for four hours.   I made this previously in Tudor. Making it again to check hours spent and also to get a better picture of the finished product as the original is no longer in my possession. I also frogged my Chrysanthemum Shawl and started over with the recommended hook size. I had gone down 1mm to match gauge but it came out small and the 4th ball of ...

It seems my shift for my freelance job will be the Saturday overnight shift. Which may cause me to shift my weekly blog post... Anyway, I've finished a page of the triptych. I have done a little more than this, I now get to work with green! I also finished the shawl, but I went down 1mm in hook size to get the 'gauge' right, but it's left me with about 1.5 balls left over. It's also about 42" across rather than 60". I'm contemplating frogging it and redoing it with the recommended hook because I have no idea what I'm going to make with the rest of the yarn. And here's Onyx, loving my fuzzy comforter. She's on my bed more because of it. Can you believe she's 10?

Has it really been a week since my last craft update? Apparently working has shortened time for me, maybe because I'm not getting as much crafting done. I was working yesterday so I didn't have time to post. This is where I am on Triptych. The castle is getting more filled in, but it's still a lot of almost confetti work. I also started this shawl. I'm on the last round and will take a better picture later. And here's a strangely shaped apple for amusement. If anyone hasn't figured out by now, I'm not getting the dress done by Halloween. I will be wearing my back-up.
