Not much done this week. My son larps and he needed a new outfit for his new character but as I'm not willing to make clothes that will be worn for just one afternoon, he had to put up with his jerkin from last time, though I changed the buttons from black to silver. I bought a pair of pants from the flea market because they had a cuff and looked like they may be long enough after taking down the cuff. So I took down the cuff and then we decided to try to make them even longer. When I started to undo the stitching I realized that it was not factory sewn. So I was just undoing whatever the previous owner had had done to them. I've been thinking of why I find it so hard to get my crafts started or completed and I think that it might be because I have so many of them to do, so I just don't bother. (Sound like a good excuse ?) I read about cross stitchers who do rotation and I thought that I might try that. So here's what I was thinking:
M: D's crochet (compare yarn size, choose hook size, crochet bookmark, find suitable ribbon)
T: H's socks (decide on # of stitches and size of needles, knit them)
W: A's Xmas gift (dig out pattern, find what size material needed, get material, get threads, complete, find frame)
T: Home – A's pjs?, cushion covers
F: Personal (decide what to do about bay pouch, make cord, finish it)
S: R's snowflakes (ask how many she wants, can there be repeats, find new patterns, crochet)
S: UFO: Xmas square lapthrow (decide how many stitches on chain, sew in ends, crochet strips together, find a border pattern, crochet border, sew in ends)
If, for some reason, I can't work on something on a certain day, then it will get worked on the next week (I suppose). As each gets finished I'll add something to replace it.
