January OMG - Indian Summer scarf

I bought this yarn years ago at the Wool Gathering in Ohio.  The plan was to make a scarf, but it has been re-worked several times...

I've carried it with me several places; I even hand carried it in my luggage to Korea.  I made some progress on it in November (undoing the bits I didn't like; will look for those pics) but set it aside in the naughty pile because I really didn't want to deal with the ends.

Well, it is Shelly's birthday on the 18th and I want to get this project crossed off my list.  Need to get it done sooner, since it will take time to mail!

Measured at 36 ish inches yesterday when I took this:

And it was 43 ish when I finished my coffee this morning!  Progress!  My goal is to finish this scarf and mail it off.  Bonus points if I get it to her by the 18th.

December OMG - done

I made these three for my guild:

I made the other four into a scrappy pillow for me:

standing on a chair to take a pic...!

I edited one of the arrows from the beginning of the month.  I had enough of the same/similar fabrics to make them into kinda-pairs:

and these two:

 
I had fun with this, especially with arranging the pieces.  Sewing together the fiddly bits and getting poked by pins, not so much fun.  It is just a bit smaller than the pillow form, so I need to add a border.  Or make the pillow a bit smaller!  Also, with all the seams, thinking I'll make ironing it my January OMG.  :P

Dec OMG - scrappy arrows

My guild is making these for the January BOM, so even though I am far away, I am going to make some too!  These two are mine, and I need to make some in navy, teal, and purple and mail them in before the January meeting.

I think the HST came out pretty good.  :)

My OMG is to make 7 total.  Linking back to our host, Patty of Elm Street Quilts.

Nov OMG - done

I finished this up just as the plane was landing in Seoul...

A lovely pile of yarn ends!

November OMG - ends on the crazy stripe

My goal this month is kind of strange...

On Wednesday night, I will be getting on a plane to fly to Korea.  I will be on that plane for 13 hours!  Due to my forced captivity, I will have no reason not to darn in the ends of this crazy stripe blanket that I began when I was stationed there in 2014.

My long term goal is to have this be a giant square blanket when I get on the plane to fly home to CA.  But my goal for this month is to simply darn in as many ends as I can on that plane ride!  Baby steps.

Oct OMG = done

ta da:

I knitted the whole ball and bound off, plus I started with the finishing touches.  Plan to have lunch with her this coming weekend, so I need to tidy up those ends!

October OMG - purple ombre shawl

Yesterday I bought another skein of yarn (color 5184) for this:

It is a gift for an old teacher of mine, to wear while she meditates.

My goal for this month is to use up as much of the ball as I can before binding off.  I leave for Korea early next month, so I need to finish this by then so I can gift it in person.
