August=Fingers Exhausted

Life unfortunately has been busy and I deeply apologize for my absence the last couple of weeks. But I started a new job and have been working my fingers numb to get all the projects I have lined up completed!

As you know, I have been working on lots of amigurumi for all the pregnant women in my Sunday School. I have almost completed two more for the amigurumi round-up. I need to add a fish and a fuzzy top to my polar bears and then they will be done. (I got the pattern out of Amigurumi Toy Box by Ana Paula Rimoli).

Ben's scarf crochet has been done, but it still needs to be blocked and I need to measure it! Then I can give you a complete pattern.

I also finished and crocheted edges on some pillowcases that I will give to a cousin-in-law for her wedding coming up in September.

What else? Oh yes, I am making another large bear for a friend of mine. Remember this from way back when I began blogging?

It has been hard keeping it to three projects because I have all this beautiful yarn (below) that I would love to make a shawl out of for my writing room, but there are other pressing more important things that need to get done.

For a moment I mastered the stitch I am going to use that can be found on Attic 24 (here).It is a ripple stitch of Lucy's creation. (Below is my mastery of the stitch) But have been unable to use it on the yarn!

I also am determined to get all the squares for my bedspread completed. I think the colors will work well together. See how it's going to turn out? (Course it's still a work in progress).

Ah well, it will all get done in due time. Thanks for joining me!
