What have you been crafting today?

Dear users, dear authors,
have you been busy today?

Hey everyone :)

I’ve been crocheting like crazy all day... But I’m not sure yet if it’s going to turn out right...
You know how it is when you crochet 5 rows and then have to unravel 3 of them?? That’s how it’s been all day -.- *laughs*

Good luck to everyone <3

Oh yes, I know that feeling very well. :-) Especially when I’m trying something new.

Today I finished crocheting number 3 of the tissue box covers. Now I have them standing there in three different colors. Right now I need something that works up quickly—good for that sense of achievement. ;-)

I wish all visitors lots of fun crocheting, knitting, or whatever else you enjoy!

Warm regards
Monika

Since I had to drive my husband to the eye clinic first thing this morning, I got an early start and kept working on my new tunic. ;-) 

After getting my new glasses yesterday, I spent today writing patterns and can finally crochet again ;-)

Thanks to the optician ;-)

I started working on a loop scarf. Not sure if that was such a good idea with this thick yarn.

I crocheted a girlfriend for my ladybug today so he doesn’t have to flutter around all by himself anymore! :)

Yep, I just spent an hour knitting. I can't seem to fall asleep... ugh.
I'm going back to bed now and going to try again...

I haven't done anything today yet, unfortunately, but yesterday I worked on the blanket for my daughter again. I'll have to stop soon because I'm running out of yarn again and need to order more.
And I crocheted a little chick. I've actually finished sewing it together now. The individual pieces were already done.

I can't do much more than that at the moment, since we're stocking up on firewood for the winter. That way, if it gets cold, my fingers won't freeze and I can happily keep crocheting and knitting.

I started winding up my yarn treasures from the Wollmeise sale in June yesterday, and today I’m starting on a new design. Thank goodness we have knitting weather here—it’s raining and it’s not so hot anymore.

I’ve finished my first winter/Christmas pattern for this year...and right in the middle of summer...but with the heat we’re having here, at least I was able to cool off mentally.

I’ve already spent an hour working on a new model—the basic framework and the pattern for it are finished. I’m going to make some more salt dough in a minute, and this time I’m going to try coloring it.
I hope you all have fun and enjoy your day.

Best wishes, Petra

Good morning. I actually haven’t done anything yesterday or today. Crocheting is a bit of a pain right now—I guess I overdid it and my wrists are acting up a little.
Nothing dramatic, but I’m not forcing myself to crochet right now.

I’m going to tidy up my sewing room a bit in a minute and then start a sewing project. We’ll see what I end up starting with. I have way too many ideas for that, too.  But I did promise my husband I’d work through my fabric stash, since we’re moving in December...

@Flima
I envy you. I have a whole list in my head of everything I should be making for Christmas. But right now, I’m swamped with my family’s special requests.
And Christmas is already in 5 months—take a deep breath, keep crocheting.....

I uploaded a new pattern today. It’s always such a nice feeling. You spend so long fine-tuning every single detail, but at some point it’s finally done. There’s nothing left to improve or revise. Now I’m going to tidy everything up and then, for the time being, do nothing that has anything to do with wool. I have time again for summer, family, the garden, reading ... you have to take breaks from crafts too, even if only for a little while ;-) I hope you all have a lovely day.

Best wishes, Ina

I’m tinkering with a knitted cape.
The first version, made from thinner yarn, turned out a little too small for me.

I picked out something with granny squares in different colors. Small granny squares. And so, all I’ve done today is weave in ends.

Does that count as handicraft too? :-)

I’ve been crocheting more on my tunic. I’m working on the sleeves now, and I’m slowly nearing the final stages. So you’ll be able to admire my work in the gallery soon.
And I already have my next project in mind.
