ladythmprDay 3
I looked in the easiest and most logical places downstairs for my floral tape, with out luck. Since I needed to be out anyway, I did a quick dip into a craft store to get the floral tape and a spool of white thread (which had also gone missing)
In the evening, I knitted 13 rows on a new baby hat while on a zoom call..
(I combined everything into one picture)
[ID: a spool of white thread, a roll of unopened brown floral tape, and a purple knitting loom with 13 rows of knitted pink yarn.End ID]
Day 4
I cut a few of the florals to start attaching wires to them (which required me to actually find cutters heavy enough to cut through them), but everything was being fiddly, so I put it aside. Later on in the afternoon, I felt that I need to go outside, so I went looking for and actually FOUND more of the yarn I knew I had that needed washing, and I took them outside to wind them on my swift to tie up for washing. I got 5 skeins done; the leftmost skein in the picture took forever because some part of it got really tangled.

So, I am kind of blocked on this wreath. I got this sock loom for my birthday, and I'm just itching to play with it (not that I currently NEED any socks, mind you). So to motivate myself to work on this wreath, once I finish the wreath, I will reward myself with getting to play with the sock loom!

Day 4: A completion!
Oct. 4th, 2023 08:57 pmladythmprI finished assembling the axolotl! It took longer to stuff, close, and attach all the pieces than it did to knit all the pieces!

I found the pattern at Loomahat.com !

ladythmprI spent a lot of day 4 shopping and cooking for a birthday dinner! My slow cooker, rice cooker, stovetop, and oven were ALL in play!
I baked a berry cobbler for the birthday dessert, but I forgot to take a picture before it got cut. This is all that was left!
And I managed 4 more rows on the ear warmer...

Days 4, 5, 6
Oct. 6th, 2021 05:26 pmladythmprThe days are toooooo busy. And, if you've followed my history here at all, I'm doing well if I manage to post every-other day.
Day 4
We had a birthday in the house, so I made a huge birthday dinner, including dessert, which took about three hours, and really precluded doing any other crafting, but dessert is crafting, so here's a picture of birthday pear-blueberrry cobbler.
Day 5
Back to the cross stitch
Day 6
I made time for my weekly Wednesday stitch-in, and managed to stitch about 125 stitches in 2 hours!

Day 4 and Day 5 - Fibre Homework
Oct. 6th, 2020 09:54 amcalzephyrI'm taking two classes at art college right now. It's not like I can use my vacation time to actually go anywhere! My Thursday homework involves creating patterns, so here is the first one, a repeating pattern. I wanted to mimic embroidery with it.
I made it in Rhino and then imported the different shapes into CorelDraw to add colour. I used this colour palette from Design Seeds for inspiration.

Day 4 - Assembling all the little horses
Oct. 6th, 2019 07:29 pmcalzephyrI started this batch of Christmas ornaments for craft sales in September. They were easy to make using square dies, but they did have a surprising amount of little pieces that had to come together first :-)
ladythmprThe part of a challenge that I suck at is the posting part. I was also down with a stomach bug or food poisoning, which didn't help.
Days 2-3
Managed some stitching on the stitchalong anyway, though not a whole lot.
Day 4
After a day chaperoning a trip with the whole second grade to our local science museum, and a birthday dinner celebration, I only had enough brain to work on the poppy latch hook I started back in March (the first picture is where I left it the last time I worked on it in September).
Day 5
I worked on the stitchalong on a commute to a party! (Hey, I went to a PARTY!)
I still need to catch up on reading and commenting.

Introduction + Days 1-6
Oct. 7th, 2018 07:38 pmzabeMy name is Elizabeth; I participated last year, but completely forgot about it this year. I do various sorts of needlework (mostly cross-stitch right now) and some beadwork (mostly peyote-stitch bracelets, but I recently branched out into a new sort of bracelet). I do a little something crafty most days; I started a full-time day job a couple of months ago, which limits my crafting time a little.
Days 1-3:
I finished this Cane-Back bracelet from the most recent Quick + Easy Beadwork. This was my first foray into non-peyote beadwork, and I mostly enjoyed it (I had some issues in the beginning and at the end). I had it everything except the three rows at the ends and the loop and toggle finished at the end of September and had the whole thing finished by the third.
Days 4-6:
This is 99 by Ink Circles, which I started in January 2017 and will finish someday. This is the sixth row (66 bottles). I was about a quarter into the shelf at the beginning of the month and did a little each day; I find the shelf tedious.
Day 6:
I realized that I ought to take advantage of everyone else being out of town and work on a Christmas card (I live with the recipient and mostly work on things in the evening family time). I'm going to see if I can get it finished by Wednesday evening. I had some of the lower right ornament finished in September and worked on it a bit more. I was probably around a third of the way through it when I realized it was misplaced, so it had to come out. I haven't redone as much of it as I had done at the beginning of the month.

Days 4 and 5
Oct. 5th, 2018 08:40 pmladythmprDay 4 - I was wall to wall busy, and the best I could do for crafting was a berry cobbler that I made for a birthday (happy trip around the sun, BB!), of which I took no picture.
Day 5 - Stitched on the kiwi after GB took the kids to the park.

Introduction + Days 1-5
Oct. 6th, 2017 08:14 pmzabeI hope I'm not too late to join in; my name is Elizabeth and I live in Memphis, TN, US. I started cross-stitch several years ago after being interested in it for a while. I had tried a counted pattern several years before that, but didn't stick with it. I also do some needlepoint and blackwork. Earlier this year, I started making peyote-stitch bracelets, which I've been enjoying even though I don't wear much jewelry.
I don't have any real plans for the month's crafting; I was thinking about pulling out an old needlepoint project and trying to finish it, but I don't know what I did with it. I only have two current projects right now (one cross-stitch, one beads), so I may pull out something else unfinished to add to the rotation.
Day 1 and 4:
This is 99 by Ink Circles; on day 1, all I did was the label on the next to the last bottle and on day 4, I worked on the last bottle.
Day 2, 3, 5:
This is Stained Glass by Beadholden Designs; I hit the halfway point of the chart Monday night. I'm not going to work the whole chart, though; it's eight inches long and that's too long for a bracelet for me. I have no idea what I'm going to use as a clasp for it.

Day 4 - More teeny sections
Oct. 5th, 2017 11:33 amladythmprI stitched a bunch more teeny sections of 3-8 stitches last night while bouncing home on the bus from a birthday dinner.
