Once again, the only thing I worked on this week was the Moonflowers scrap afghan by Sharon Volkman. I've done 7 ¾ out of 11 rows.

Weekly Update

This week the only thing I worked on was the Moonflowers scrap afghan by Sharon Volkman. Despite being ill, I managed to get about halfway done with it.  Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be making much of dent in my stash, so it looks like I'll have to do at least one more scrap afghan after this one.

Weekly Update

Crochet:

For my next project in my goal to use up all of my acrylic yarn I've chosen the Moonflowers scrap afghan by Sharon Volkman. I couldn't find a good online image for it, but you can pretty much see what it's going to look like: 11 rows of these motifs with a green border that has scallops that look similar to the petals on the moonflowers.


It's join as you go, which I'm loving, but keeping up with weaving in all the loose ends is going to be a challenge.

Knitting:

I did some more work on sewing Oscar to the Octopus Garden Blanket by Georgia Vincent.
 


Cross Stitch:

Finally, I did a bit more work on the Rose Cross by Irene O. Thomas.

Weekly Update

Crochet:

I finished the Ohio Star pillow designed by Linda/Shirley (?) Koger. I left one side open so that I can easily pull the pillow out and throw the cover in the washing machine.

 


Knitting:

I finally blocked the Octopus Garden Blanket by Georgia Vincent, pinned Oscar in place, and started sewing him to the blanket.


Quilting:

I pulled out the coasters again and stitched the 3rd binding strip to the back of this one and started attaching the 4th binding strip.


Cross Stitch:

I did some more stitching on Joy of Computer Work which is based on artwork by Randal Spangler and adapted to cross stitch by Michele Sayetta of Heaven and Earth Designs.
 


Finally, I did a bit more work on the Rose Cross by Irene O. Thomas.
