I hope everyone enjoyed the Olympics! I had hoped to get a mini-post up some time during the Olympics, but that didn't quite happen. Maybe next Olympics. ;D

Knitting Projects
I started one project for the Ravellenics, a challenge to start and finish one project during the Olympics. This is a free pattern from Berroco, and I didn't get the sleeves on, but I almost have a vest done. :) I also managed to completely forget about the button hole rows and will attach hook and loops or something instead.
Sawtelle WIP with Plymouth yarn
Shawl for Grandma - I decided on a new start while we were waiting to see Black Panther and I'm glad I brought something to do. It's an interesting one, despite the fingering yarn, and I managed 2 full pattern repetitions before the movie started. The shawl I'm making is called Skagen, a $ pattern from Berroco.
I really enjoyed getting out some of these older projects, most from my epic January/February challenge of 2016 and there's a lot to go on most of them.
The WIPocalypse question is what gadget can't you live without? For me it's Qsnaps. I will occasionally stitch in hand, but I love the tension you get with Qsnaps.
Happy Stitching!

So many lovely WIPs pulled out... I hope some of them now stay out instead of being hidden away again. :)
ReplyDeleteBlack aida...getting the willies just thinking about it! You are a brave soul my friend! Since I don't have regular TV anymore, I haven't been watching the Olympics at all, but it was on in the restaurant we ate at in Biloxi and Curling was on. I have NEVER heard of this sport! Where did it come from? I used to watch the Olympics all the time as a kid and I never remember this! Even after 45 minutes of it, I still didn't get it either. I keep saying I must investigate it, but I haven't yet.
ReplyDeleteAwesome progress on your projects Tiffany. Fun to see older projects come out and play.

Thank you!
DeleteGreat progress on all your projects! Snowman and maple leaf are my favourites:) That’s very brave of you to stitch/knit while waiting for the movie. I still don’t have the courage to do that in public. In a park is the most I can manage:(
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful projects. Fantastic progress on them.
ReplyDeleteSuper progress on everything! Lovely colors on your grandma's shawl. I need my Qsnaps, just like you. I will stitch in hand something small but for bigger stuff, I need those Qsnaps!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, the small stuff needs the tension and grip for sure. I agree 100%.
DeleteLots of different things you are working on, the cardigan looks great. You could always add a zip instead of hooks/loops.
ReplyDeleteGreat work on all your projects. I love the Tribal Dragon (of course) and the Xmas Dragon!
ReplyDeleteThere seem to be a lot of projects but probably no more than I stitched on LOL
Oh my, such a lot of stitching on so many WIPs. Very productive.
ReplyDeleteWow, so many different projects! I love all of them, although spotting the progress was more difficult on them of them than on others.
ReplyDeleteWow! Tiffany, so many great projects - just gorgeous! I must ask, did I read right? You are finger knitting the shawl?
ReplyDeleteWow Tiffany, so much project love. Congrats on getting in stitching on so many amazing pieces. They look fantastic! Your knitting looks amazing as well.
ReplyDeleteFantastic projects, I especially like the Tribal dragon and the sawtelle sweater. Great progress for 2 weeks!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
