WIP Wednesday


This little fellow is my todays wip, just needs stuffing and sewing. Yes it will be another kitty, like my mystery kitty. Can´t wait until he is finished and has gotten his character. Now he is just in parts, but soon he will come alive.

Linking this one to Tamis WIP Wednesday blog, go check out what the others are making on this cold wednesday.

WIP Wednesday



My long time WIP is this All Star Afghan, I have been working on it for quite some time now, but really not so long if you count the days working in total. The grannies are mostly ready, but then I realised that I didn´t like the joining method in the pattern, and tried out some other methods, until I was happy with one. I wanted the join to be invisible on both sides, so I am using the sewing together method. Since the Pattern called for joining the squares on the last row, I however have alot of squares almost ready, just needing that last second row of black. So now I am finishing the last row, and then immediately sewing the square to the others. I do a couple at a time and then when I see them again for the next round, I see how my blanket is magically growing in my project basket :) 

Heute zeige ich euch ein Projekt was genau vor einem Jahr das erste mal auf diesem Blog erwähnt wurde, die Vierecke habe ich eigentlich schnell gemacht, dann fehlte Wolle, dann kam Umzug und andere Projekte. Die decke hat dann einen ruhigen Ort gefunden über den Winter. Im Sommer denkt keiner an Decken Häkeln, deshalb habe ich neulich an die gedacht und mehr Wolle geholt, und angefangen einige von den Vierecken zusammenzunähen. Ich mochte die Methode in dem Buch nicht so sehr, die kam mir auch irgendwie kompliziert vor, also hatte ich von mal zu mal andere Methoden ausprobiert, bis ich schließlich mich dafür entschieden habe, die einfach zusammen zu nähen. Da bei allen "fertigen" Vierecken die letzte Reihe fehlt, mache ich die fertig und nähe ihn dann sofort an die anderen. So wächst die Decke langsam aber stetig, und jedes Mal wenn ich die Kiste aufmache, ist es immer wie Magie, wie größer die geworden ist. 


Today on the day a year ago I posted this picture of the making of the grannies. You could also see them in my mystery kitty post and on my thoughts on thursday post. I hope soon I will be able to show you the whole blanket :)

Linking this post to WIP Wednesday and going to see what others are working on now :)

Die Vierecke kommen in Paar posts vor auf dem Blog wie zur letzt bei der mystery kitty post oder bei den thoughts on thursday. Der aller erste Post, wo das Bild her ist, wurde am 6. November 2012 , vor genau einem Jahr gepostet. Was für ein Zufall :)Wenn ihr mögt schaut auch was andere so am Laufen haben drüben auf WIP Wednesday

Verkefni í vinnslu (WIP) er í dag, langtíma verkefnið mitt. Ég bloggaði fyrst um það fyrir nákvæmlega einu ári sem er skemmtileg tilviljun. En ég var dugleg þá að hekla dúllurnar og voru þær nær búnar og tilbúnar í samsetningu. Síðan komu flutningar, garnið kláraðist, og svo kom svo margt annað inn í, að ég lét það sofa yfir sumarið. En nú er aftur að kólna, og teppið sem ég byrjaði á fyrir nýja heimilið er ekki ennþá búið. Ég gleymdi því aðeins en er byrjuð aftur á því. Ég var staðráðin í að byrja að festa saman dúllurnar, en aðferðin í uppskriftinni var ekki alveg að gera sig, þannig ég fór að pæla í og prufa hinar ýmsu aðferðir tenginga á dúllum. Á endanum valdi ég "að sauma saman" en þar sem öllum dúllunum vantaði eina umferð í viðbót af svarta litnum, þá er ég að dúllast í dúllunum núna, klára síðustu umferðina og sauma hana svo við hinar. Ég tek nokkrar dúllur í einu annað slagið, og í hvert skipti sem ég opna kassan sem ég geymi þær í er eins og einhverjir álfar hafi verið að festa þær saman, því það er alltaf orðið stærra en mig minnti :)

WIP Wednesday

Since my last WIP Post, I have finished the amigurumi kitty, I was working on. Today I am showing you my progress in my granny triangle shawl. I am using Debbie Bliss Rialto Lace 100% merino wool for this project. It is a wonderful wool to work with and my shawl will be light and warm. 

What are you working on this wednesday? Let´s hop over to Tami's blog and see

WIP Wednesday


A small summary of my unfinished projects from my project bag, or like the WIP says Work in Progress, as a part of Tami´s  WIP Wednesday Action. 

Most of these things pictured above are almost finished, just need a little tweeking, like sewing, washing or more material.

First Row (left to right): First two pictures of granny´s waiting to become something ;). The little owlies are Owl Rattles in making, I wasn´t sure if it would be a boy or girl, so I did some variations in the colours, so when I am in need for a baby gift I have some almost finished ;) The black and grey granny is made out of felting wool, I used a large hook, I´m not gonna felt it in the washing machine later though, since this will be a small blankie for my kitty Mia :)

Second Row (left from right): Starts of with a vintage potholder, I ran out of cotton and placed it in my project bag, and it has been a little forgotten about ´til now, I am definately going to finish this one soon, cause it´s beautiful :) Next to it a second TP Owly  I made one for my sister a while back, she picked the eyes with the black lashes, this one I was gonna make for myself, since I had a second pair of eyes already. All I need to do now is sew it up ;) Third picture in this row is another owly thing, a baby security blanket. I really just need to sew the owl on it, but since I am not happy how this cotton came out in the granny, I am thinking of redoing the granny with my favorite cotton from Lana Grosse ( I sadly hadn´t found that one, as I did this piece). But since there is no baby on the way for it to cuddle with, it´s one of those fast finished gifts when needed. Last picture in this row is of my prefelted house slippers. I made one in grey for my BF the turkish slippers, and this pair is for me :) Just needs to be washed and I am thinking about what kind of decoration I will do, or if I will leave them blank.

Third and last row (left from right): First off a picture of a mystery amigurumi CAL I am participating in over on google +, I am a late starter in the project, and I am on clue 3 now, the clue 4 is already out, but I have a hence that we are making amineko. The second picture is my first try to do filet crocheting, I haven´t blocked it yet, so that´s why it´s still a WIP ;). Third picture is the only project knitted, it´s a loop I am doing for my BF on circular needles. I am a slow knitter, but it will be finished before it gets cold ;). Last Picture is the beginning of a brand new project with new wool I just bought last Week in Berlin, it´s from Debbie Bliss called Rialto Lace, I love the colour and this will be a shawl for me ;)

Writing this I remember other WIPs but they will be a tale for another day. ;) 

It´s great to do a WIP Post once in a while, to see what is still left to do. But there is oh so more on my list of things I want to make. Am I the only one with so many unfinished business? I hope not. I tell myself it´s not that bad, at least I don´t have a room full of yarn. My wool stash is really small. But maybe I am just fooling myself, ´cause I didn´t think I had so many WIP´s either. 

I have an Idea for a Blog Post Challenge now called  "Show me Your Stash"  ;-) but shouldn´t that be our dirty little secret? ;)

Come with me over to Tami´s Blog on WIP Wednesday to see what others are working on



Dieser Post ist leider nur auf englisch, da dies ein Teil des WIP Wednesday ist und viel zu lang werden würde, wenn ich es in drei Sprachen schreiben würde. 

Engin íslenska í þetta sinn, en þið skiljið þetta líka alveg held ég :)
