Hard-working little elves: Where is your creativity taking you today?

Dear users, dear authors,
dear little helpers,
how are things going with the yarn and your creativity?

I’m currently dressing the little dolls (35 cm) that my granddaughters are getting. One is almost done; now it’s time for the next one.

For me, it's to the embroidery machine; today I'm embroidering keychains and so on

Best regards, Inge

I finished crocheting my new shawl yesterday—yay! Today I decided to add tassels, so I ordered some matching wooden beads since I couldn’t find any nice ones locally.
  I was actually planning to attach the tassels tonight, but I can’t do that without the beads. In that case, I’ll have to come up with something else to do.

Maybe I’ll finally sew together that sweater I cut out weeks ago :)

I’ve started a new tunic.

@Marion,
Your color combination makes me crave a Black Forest cake. :-)

Josefa, I’d love to eat that right now, too.
😂

Wow, Marion, your tunic has such beautiful colors. It looks especially lovely—I’d really like one too.

I’m continuing to knit my triangular shawl.

I’m also making little caps for Easter eggs:

I’ve finished my third little cuddly doll from Zwergerlstrick. I want to re-embroider the face on No. 1. How my embroidered eyes turn out is always a matter of luck. 

I’m trying to knit again, and it’s working (my hands have often been falling asleep at night lately). Just a few rows very slowly, but it’s working, and I’m happy about that 😊 It’s “boring,” especially in the evening while watching TV, to have nothing to do with my hands 😋
and I’m sewing a few T-shirts with the new serger. As soon as my sewing machine comes back from servicing, I’ll finish them and then post pictures of the items 😊

I brought some yarn with me on vacation for the kindergarten dolls. I don’t have much time to knit, but the cardigan is coming along. 

Here’s an update on my triangular shawl:

I’ve picked out a stack of sewing patterns from my collection—they need to be printed and glued together—and then I’ll start sewing, because my fabric package arrived yesterday, so I’ll have plenty to do over the next few days :-)

Love, Inge

Marion, you’ve chosen some really beautiful colors for your tunic.

Your shawl has a great pattern, Marlene. I really like it.

After I crocheted a filet crochet picture, I moved on to making a curtain for the bathroom window. My husband didn’t like the green one anymore (the one he absolutely had to have back then). Now there’s a blue one hanging there. It’s a smooth, shiny fabric that wasn’t really easy to sew (by hand). But my husband is happy.

The pattern testing for Marlene is done. The blanket looks great. Now it’s time for pattern testing for Gabi. My granddaughter will get the little horse to play with.
On the side, I’m crocheting a little teddy bear as a bag charm. The moose season is over, after all.

Best regards, Marlies

Thanks, Marlies :)

I really like the color combination, too, Marion—I’m a big fan of red :)

You all have some great projects on your needles.

My tunic has already grown a bit.
I’m curious myself to see how it will turn out in the end.
I’m slowly starting to experiment with other shades of red.
I’m glad you like the color.

Today I put together two shelves from that Swedish furniture store and then let my creativity run wild a little while redecorating the bedroom 😂
With BabyBear around, it’s always just a little bit at a time…
And now I’m lying next to him in bed, grabbing my knitting needles. I’m making (hopefully 😂) a slipover for myself :)
