Frogging Monster Tamer in the month of September
[x] In September I partially / completely (even multiple times) unraveled an unfinished handmade item / a project / a UFO, or even several, and then successfully finished it after all. I am therefore a Frogging Monster Tamer.
Details: see socks.

Garden Season 2020
[x] I had pleasant cozy-blanket evenings / lots of fun crafting in front of the TV.
Details:






  

UFOs
Unfortunately, I have to carry over one UFO as unfinished again. Right now, I have to focus on fulfilling some wishes first.

King/Queen of the Long-Term Project
My long-term project—my poncho—is finally finished.




Best Use of Scraps in September: Scraps Are Great
I crocheted two coasters from scraps and gave them to my friend.



I also crocheted little ghosts from leftover yarn, which will be given away as well.


Yarn Diet 2020 /
I want the title “Conqueror of My Inner Slacker.” I haven’t bought any yarn since December 2019 and am using up my stash. Maybe I’ll even keep it up into next year.

Hardworking Little Helper
In September, I was able to finish quite a few things:

• 2 coasters
• 6 little ghosts
• my long-term project—the poncho

I was also busy with other things. Every day, about 500 g of raspberries needed to be picked and processed.

Pattern Optimization Champion and Hero/Heroine of the Authors = Author Title in September
[x ] I completed and uploaded 1 new pattern in the month of September.

Developing this pattern took several months—and I am really super proud right now that I have finished it. 6 months ago I broke my wrist. Unfortunately, there were surgical treatment errors, and I am still struggling with the consequences today. BUT the most important thing is that I can move my hand and fingers. With lots of training, physio, and occupational therapy, I have now managed to crochet and knit again—not for such long periods and not such bulky things. Nothing can require too much twisting motion or strength in the wrist. So over the past few months, this doll dress came together piece by piece. The project brought me a lot of joy and kept me "in good spirits every day."

A new addition to the doll wardrobe: Fairy-tale Ball Gown for Small Dolls



Pink is every little girl's favorite color, so of course there had to be a pink dress:


The little hat is handmade from a bit of tulle left over from the tulle underskirt and a few little roses like the ones on the dress:



[x ] I used the advertising threads / other advertising opportunities on Crazypatterns in September.
--> Since I couldn't add anything new in the last 6 months, I tried to remind customers of my existing patterns. The advertising threads are a nice and free option for that. It was also well received.

Garden Season 2020

[x ] I made use of sunny moments and had lots of fun in the garden / on the balcony, etc.
Details:

I have a beautiful garden and enjoyed making myself comfortable there on the terrace with my handcrafting. Unfortunately, there isn't a photo of that. In the evenings I would move back into the conservatory with my things. Here is a snapshot of this slightly chaotic workspace:



You can also write down anything else that comes to mind here.

My 5-year-old granddaughter Bella came to visit. Her greatest joy is always my stash of dolls and doll things. She is my biggest critic. And then I also immediately see whether her fingers can manage the fasteners. She doesn't know the new ball gown yet ...

I don’t have much to show for this month either, since the yarn just isn’t cooperating with me right now and I’ve ripped out everything I started.

Stay strong even during the COVID-19 pandemic: become and remain the King/Queen of Perseverance
[ x ] I am and will continue to be strong, meet the relevant requirements (disinfecting, washing my hands thoroughly, keeping social distance, staying home, wearing masks, etc.), not lose heart, and hope for the best.

Shopping Queen in September
[ x ] I significantly stocked up on fabric in September, and I actually had a lot of fun doing it. :- ). Details:

At a fabric market, I got a little “out of control” and really went all out... and I realized that fabric takes up significantly more storage space than yarn. In any case, I’m well stocked for the next few weeks and have plenty of material to practice with.

Rescuer of the unruly fabric rescuer
[ x ] I used old material (fabric) in September, so I am an honorable and deserving fabric rescuer.  Details:

Years ago, I bought this great Christmas fabric on vacation—now I’ve finally sewn it. 





Learned something new in September
[ x ] I learned something new (sewing) in September, which makes me a winner. :- ). Details:







My first attempts at sewing—I used old, worn-out jeans for this.
The shirt is a recent purchase from the fabric market.

I’ve finished the award ceremony for now.
Who’s still missing, or what’s still missing?

Staying brave even during the coronavirus pandemic: becoming and remaining the Perseverance King/Queen
[X ] I am and continue to be brave, meet the relevant requirements (disinfecting, washing hands thoroughly, staying socially distanced, staying home, wearing masks, etc.), lose my courage every now and then and find it again, and hope for the best.

King/Queen of the long-term project
[X] I am working on a larger / extensive long-term project and am still sticking with it.
Details about the long-term project:

A granny blanket, and I crocheted another granny square and wove in lots of ends. 



Alien King/Queen: My UFOs are great.
[ ] I have many UFOs / WIPs waiting to be finished, and I am therefore the September King/Queen of the friendly alien planet. :-) Extra bonus points for really lots of UFOs. Your own photos are always a good idea.
Details: granny blanket, finish crocheting a seat cushion, spiral socks, scarf for a postponed wedding, summer hat, embroidered blankets, shawl from a gradient cake

Somehow September just rushed past me. The weather was so beautiful and we were outside a lot.

There were trips to the creek and lots of biking



the regular visits from the hedgehog also kept us very entertained

OK, I’ve added you :-)

Dear Josefa, you did a great job again! :)
I wish you a relaxing October, too.

The Ghost Queen and the Raspberry Queen especially brought a smile to my face.

The little ghosts are currently hanging in our window, waiting for their new companions. ;-)

Enkelwoll Queen of Contrasting Colors: What an imaginative title! That made me especially happy! The socks should be finished tomorrow! I was worried whether the dark green yarn would be enough, so for the first sock I initially left the toe in a contrasting color, but now everything seems to be fine…

Thanks, Josefa, for your imaginative titles! I especially love “Oktoberfest Queen”—even though it had to be canceled this year 😁

Thanks, Josefa.
I’m delighted with your lovely titles and wish you a wonderful October, too.

Thank you so much for the wonderful, super-awesome titles
This makes crafting even more fun 😊
Wishing everyone a great week

Thanks, dear Josefa :)

I had a lot of fun doing this again.

Josefa, thank you for all the creative titles—and also for the good wishes.

If anyone else would like to be included, please post in the thread.


Thanks for your kind words.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. :- )

Have fun with the October projects:

Dear Josefa,

I also enjoyed my first time participating here. When you look back on a month, you’re amazed at everything you’ve accomplished, and that makes you proud. And now it’s even here in black and white. Thank you for the titles and for all your effort.

Best regards—Ina

Thanks for the kind words, Ina.
Have fun in October.
