They are all done!!!

Well Fall and Spring/Summer are already in the auction coordinators hands and the Winter is hanging at home drying. Pictures of the winter will follow soon! See not problem!

3 days to go no problem :-S

Well Fall and Spring/Summer are finished! The remake of the Winter body will be finished tonight. I plant to do the embroidery tomorrw at stitch and bitch and Felt it tomorrow night. I think we will be good. Again I apologize for the bad pics.

5 days to go!

The Spring/Summer and Fall just need the rings and handles attached and they are being felted tonight! At which time we will restart the winter bag. No problem! Again colors are off sorry.

9 days to go on the dumplings

So 9 days to go and the fall bag is ready for embellishing. These colors are way off. Its a darkish green and the rings are a pumpkinish orange and a mustard yellow. I am going to take opinions tonight at stitch and bitch as to how I should embellish it. I can't decide if I want to embroider the outline of leaves on it, or knit leaves and attach them.

Since I was not sure yet where I was going with the fall bag I decided not to waist time and start on the spring summer :-) So this is how far we are...plenty of time!

I have good news and bad news...

First The Good News! :-)

I found the hot water on the washing machine! Ok for those who did not hear...the knob on my washing machine free spins. I never really know what setting it is on. I just turn till water comes on and let it go. In the past hot water started coming out so I turned it again till it became cold. (I wash everything cold) So now that I wanted hot to felt I could not find it. I found it last night! It wasn't turned on!!! Some brainiac in the house decided to cut off the hot water to the washer. So Now that I know where the hot water tap is I can just crank it to felt. YAYYYYY!!!!

Now The bad News :-(

Uhhh that white is not 100% wool. (I will post pics later it's kind of funny :-) Engh it happens I'm not really heartbroken to tell you the truth. Fear not there will still be a Winter Dumpling for the auction.

And now the countdown starts 10 days to the auction and we are at the beginning. The fall dumpling has started.

The Winter Dumpling "Deakstock"

Many of you many remember a fundraiser I knitted a hate for last year "Deakstock". Well guess what we are doing it again this year raising money to help another Vet. Since I am very fond of the dumpling bags right now, I plan to make 3 to donate to the silent auction. The first is almost finished. The Winter dumpling. Soon to follow will be the Fall Dumpling and the Spring/Summer Dumpling :-) I'll provide all the stats when they are finished. But here is the Winter awaiting a few more random snowflakes then felting.

Christmas is how far away????

So I realised that Christmas is only like 3 months away. I figured I better get cracking on mom's tree skirt. Sorry for the poor picture quality my camera has pretty much bit the dust! But I am on the 4th of 11 sections. So it's getting there just not there yet!

Taveling Scarves

In other knitting news....

I have been taking part in a group on Ravelry called Traveling Scarves. Basically the way this group works is you start a scarf and then place the live stitches on a holder and then send it to another person. That person would then add their own section to your scarf and send it to another. It is a great way to use up little bits of scrap, and to try new stitch patterns. And in the end the scarf you started comes back to you. Here are some pictures of scarves I've worked on. I am currently in two groups. One is for knitter and crochet, and the other is for Noro yarn only.

This was my starter section for the knitting, crochet group.
I added the purple bit on this scarf.
This one is from the Noro Group. I added the orange and green bit.

This was my starter section for the Noro Only scarf.

From the knitting and crochet group. I am so jealous of this one!

This was the last I saw of my scarf. I haven't seen a spoiler in a while. I think there are 3 more stops for mine and she will be home. :-)
