What's On My Hooks and Needles:
Finished: nope.
In Progress:
Stash toss 2026 (16 in, 34 out)
Doing the sides, all the blocks are joined. Done up the side panels. Thinking of the liner, digging out an old flannel sheet.
Lakeside cardigan : Remaining: 1 set of front on panels, each is 2x2, weaving those ends, attaching, then major remaining seams.
September Sweater: It's crocheted and has been on my Rav projects page for months. I’m done the second torso piece and I've sewn it all together. On the left arm! That will leave the bottom ribbing section and some fixes on the bottom of the other arm.
Coral Strange Brew: On the body, about 18”
Dizzy Lazer Socks #2: for more brainless knitting. On the instep, past the heel on the second sock. Lazersheep and Dizzy Blonde yarns
More steeking images. At neck and upper armhole shapings
Prawn Agnes: On skein #4. A very fast knit, and that was the point! On the first sleeve!
Quilt squares and organizing—none this week—we are at 69 finished so far. 10 more in the early stages. Fusible interfacing pre-cut rectangles for t-shirt quilts
Dizzy Blondes: still spinning the LS BFL Giverny.
Using the electric eel 6.1.
