Time for a progress report I think.

I've nearly finished the two bags - there's about half a strap to do and then all the bits are knitted and it's just the dreaded sewing up to do. They're done in natural indigo dyed cotton, which does this to my hands after a couple of rows....!

It's designed to fade like denim when washed...

I've still got to sew up grandbaby #3's hoody and I've knitted the back of grandbaby #1's aran jumper....I WILL post photos of everything once I've done the sewing up!

They look great Libby, you really are getting on well!

Love the colour of the hands Jellycat. Laughing

I finished 1 experimental cardigan (photo later) and I can't even remember what else I said I was doing! I've made numerous woven bags. I'll get the whole collection together for a photo shoot once I'm used to the new camera.

I've almost finished the scarf, but then I got distracted by doing J's christmas stocking, which is coming along nicely!

I've finally made myself sit down and do some sewing up, so...

This is one of two matching bags that I've done for another member of the Shed..

and this is the hoody i've done for #3 grandbaby, who has gorgeous red hair...it still needs buttons but I'm getting those this afternoon.

I've finished the knitting (apart from the neckband) on grandbaby #1's jumper, and started grandbaby #2's jumper.

And I still haven't sewn up OH's rainbow jumper Laughing

Oh I missed this Jellycat, I like the bag and have you finished the jumper?

I've finished commissions and am now playing catch up with family presents!

I've got half a hot water bottle cover done (E's request) and I've 2 scarves and a hat to do, oh and Coco needs a scarf for a friend. I've woven and felted 2 bags, just need to line and sew them up.

Has everyone else finished or do you keep getting more loaded onto you! Laughing

I'm pleased to report that the Christmas Knitting List is complete Very Happy

Sadly, I've wrapped everything up now so no photos, but there are two aran jumpers for small boys, another hoody for a baby, and a clanger.

I still haven't sewed up the rainbow jumper, but that's not a Christmas pressie, so it doesn't count!

Now I'm knitting a new dishcloth....I really know how to live me Laughing

Finally, I've finished the scarves, the hotwater bag cover and have just the handle to sew onto the darker coloured bag. It doesn't show up well in the photo but is subtle shades of bluey/purply/black. (Still knitting your thing Lloyd..........)
