Weekly Show and/or Tell : May 8

Right now I am working on my first sweater. blaugh
I have the front and the back made, and I'm all most done with the first sleeve.
I'm making it out of 'Jiffy, Wine' witch it a cheep and fuzzy red yarn.
...only problem is I am all most out of it... and I am 100% broke. gonk
EDIT: ok nvm I am now done with that sleeve, I had just enough yarn... and I do me JUST enough! eek I have like under 4 feet of yarn... now all I need are those extra 3 so I can make the other and then add the last touches to put it all together. sweatdrop

I'm currently working on a Panda inspired outfit for my Elli. I've finished his shorts so far, and have the lining of his shirt cut out. I plan to make a headband and legwarmers with eyelets that lace up the back with black ribbon. I'm guessing the entire project will take about a month, at the current rate of speed. Here are what I have so far:




If needed I can change the images to text links to save space.

I'm working on a fathers day present and a stole (that latter in on hiatus, though). The fathers day present is car show blanket. My dad shows his red '53 pickup, so I'm making a blanket to go with it for cool nights when he's waiting for awards and whatnot. I used a varigated red boucle (can't find the lable right now or I'd tell you what kind specificly) It came in a HUGE ball, and I got it from JoAnns, where I used to work (Discounts! mrgreen ). It's going to have a white stripe at the top and bottom, and the Chevy bowtie in the middle. I'm doing it all in garter stitch.

I would post a picture, but I don't feel like messing with my digital camera or tagworld right now, and I only have about three inches of it done, so you wouldn't see much anyway.

That is so cute! It reminds me of some of the outfits that pop up in Gravitation. I love that doll; where did you get it?

I'm currently working on the Titania Caplet to wear this summer. I bought some Microspun yarn instead of the linen yarn they suggested. My yarn is the same color as the girl's tank top in this picture. So far, I've got one band of flower chain done and I'm working on the 2nd band. I can't wait to see how it looks when it's done. whee heart

::gags:: eek ho my God! I love those! eek
I love what you did with the "lace", I have to make myself something loke those now!
what kind of doll is that? I have a friend who wants to get one of those 500$ one's and I was wondering if that was the same.

Great idea for a thread!

I am working on a blaket that I am knitting. It will take for ever, but that is kinda the point.

I am missing my sewing machine, cause I want to make my dream purse. I keep tweeking my pattern just so I can be working on it! biggrin

Othere then that lots of little things, mostly to get my biz started. Way to much planning!

Thanks. He's a Custom House Little Junior, Mars for Valentine. He cost a little over $500. He's probably not the exact same doll but the same general kind.

Hehe, I've only read a couple volumes of it, but I love the cute style. Oh! I finished the shirt today, and now I just need to do the headband and legwarmers:

Currently I am working on the Raj sweater from Kirsten Cowan's Irresistible Knits, though I changed the colors. This is the picture from the book



And here's my spin on it:



As you can see (though not very well, curse my webcam!!) I swapped the hot pink for royal purple and the navy for turquoise. If anyone's interested, I'm using Caron Simply Soft and Simply Soft Brites in Limelight, Iris, Bluemint, and I think tangerine or something like that. I can't find the labels for the orange or yellow right now. That's the front, the back is also finished, and the first sleeve is started on the needle there. Hopefully it won't be too hot to model it for you guys when i get done! My friend at work already wants me to make her one in the turquoise. xd

@ Peppermint Elf: Do you have a pic of what the Titania Caplet is supposed to look like or a link to the pattern? It sounds like it will be pretty. I have yet to make a poncho, caplet or shrug, but I want to make a shrug when I find a pattern that will suit me. My daughter wanted me to make her a poncho but we eventually bought one she loved for less than I could make it for.

The picture I linked to was the Titania Caplet. sweatdrop I was just pointing out that mine will not be green like pictured, but blue like the lady's tank top. 3nodding

The pattern for it is in the Sprint 2006 issue of Interweave Crochet.

I'm making a mini-book. I'm painting the pages (quite sloppily sweatdrop ) with acrylics and then I'm going to write a quote/verse on each page.

It isn't going to turn out too well as it was a quick middle of the night project. But hopefully my aunt will like it.

Everyone's projects sound (and look) so cool. Keep posting your progress on them in what will hopefully be a weekly thread.

@Rorek I love your doll and the clothes you are making for him. I've wanted a similar doll for years but don't have that kind of money to spend on one. Ah well, someday.....

Yeah many people have to save up for one of these. :3 I mean do you know many people with $400-$600 extra in a single paycheck? I sure don't. wink I'm currently saving up for a pair of Latidoll Shaina twins, to split with my husband. I'm glad you like his clothing. I'm trying really hard to make him a unique style that is cute and works well with my other doll's fairly plain wardrobe.
