Skinny Scarf

We did a couple of car trips while my son was here, and so I brought something to do in the car.  This is the result!  I finished a skinny scarf.  The pattern was from a book a friend gave me for my birthday (Thank you Melina!) and it worked up quickly once I sat and did it.  The colors are brighter than show up here, and it's something I'll wear once  the weather gets more chilly.

Two Thirds

Another whole row of sections done!  I'm putting this away to work on something else for a section or two and then coming back to it.  I do have the next two of the last three parts in my inbox, though.

Couple More Rows

Still working on the first page, but you can see I'm getting within twenty rows of the bottom of the page.

Got Into Gears

 I finished working on Colleen's steampunk block this past week.  This first picture is how it came to me.  It's heavy with all the metal on it, but... I made it heavier.
 Here's a picture of the whole block after what I did.  I added a couple of seams, a gear trail, some seashells, and a piece of Uruguayan history.  The yellow badge is from the local electric company and was used to mark electric meters.

No Longer Unfinished

Once I got in gear and got back to this, it only took a few sessions to finish.  Now I have one less UFO!  For information's sake, it's Cassatt by Kick Back and Stitch.  The colors were special via Fireside Stitchery.

Collided

I've been feeling rather like I'm behind on everything, so finishing this gave me a small boost.  I finally got the metallic thread I was waiting for and it took me less than an hour total.  All done!  Thank you Tam for a cute design.
