I'm working on the larger size of the Isabeau purse (the handbag size) in a dark green-ish cotton. I also finished the remake of my friends US Marine Corp hat yesterday.
I think that's about it for me this week.

Right now I'm working on a shawl made from super soft Patons Divine yarn in a light violet/white colour for my Etsy shop/upcoming craft fair. It's so soft and pretty, I think I'll cry if no one buys it when it's done.
And then I'll keep it XD

I'm still working on the Soleil tank top. I did make myself a drop spindle (I'm so proud of myself!) from a wooden car wheel and a dowel. 3nodding Hopefully, this will help me spin a bit faster and then I can ply my white and blue yarns. There's not a lot of it, so I'm kinda wondering what to make with it when I'm done. sad Any suggestions for patterns that use about 2/3 skein or less?

I love that tank top, I plan to make it out of bamboo yarn soon. What weight is the yarn and do you happen to know the yardage? You could make a clutch or maybe even pull off a mini shrug if you have enough yardage.

I really love that tank top. It's coming out so nice so far.... only I put on some weight recently (since I started knitting it) and I don't think it's gonna fit now. Time to diet. cry

I'm knitting lace for a lolita jumper skirt I'm going to make. Still tweaking the design, but I know I'm going to need huge amount of lace for the hem.. So better start early. razz
What's special about the skirt that it's made of two XXXL men's skirts, namely my father's old working shirts. Luckily they're not stained or as horrible as average store uniforms (my dad works in office), but have small dark blue and purplish stripes.
I have other old clothes from me and my dad, but currently concentrating on the above. ^.^

You'll have to post a pic of the skirt when you finish

Time to diet. cry I put on some weight recently too since I had to stop dancing/doing anything strenious for the last couple years due to injury, but everythings getting back to normal so I'm throwing myself back into working out and getting back in shape, so I don't want to start making myself clothes just yet. For your yarn you could possibly make a hat or a cute bag out of it. Or you can do some open work knitting and get show off the unevenness and use that to your advantage. What else might be fun is just knitting and do what ever feels right and let the yarn decide what it wants to be.

I've gotten another three squares finished on my quilt, and now I'm also crocheting a baby blanket for a shower next month. It's made out of a bunch of shades of pink, with a little white and pale yellow, to make it look like apple blossoms. Or at least that was the idea. And don't worry, we're certain the baby is going to be a girl.
