The hoodie needs side seams and the hood attached then it's the zipper decision...zipper or just a hook and eye at the top?

i like the way the washcloths came out, so i am making a hand towel with the same yarn.  The neat thing about visiting is that i can find out the color and decor style of the bathrooms and kitchen...i'm sneaky that way.

I think the good thing about the Jayne hat is that it doesn't have to perfect, as I recall is a little lopsided to begin with. I love it!
Fluffy, that basket weave is gorgeous!

The hoodie just needs the hood sewn on. We'll be going with the hook and eye fastening.

These two came in today.  I have to finish sewing the Ladybug and granny squares, and working on the special afghan, the butterflies  and the penguin.

i don't think I got too many projects, do I?

Status: offline 		It seems like i am doing a lot in cotton right now.  So what is the best cotton to work with?  100% cotton, cotton&acrylic, recycled cotton, or organic cotton.  The colors are limited on the organic cotton since they don't use dyes.  Would you make clothing out of the organic cotton or just eco bags and kitchen accessories?

Status: offline 		I would definitely make clothes from the organic. I love that sage green color, and the clay color. Amazing that the cotton grows that way. The recycled gets pilled fast, I am not partial to it.

I tried a ball of that yarn that has the big poms... SO not for me! I have to have the poms all neatly lined up, and it is very time consuming, at least with the oval poms on Plymouth Poppin. I used it feom the outside of the skein so it is going in for exchange!!

I hate those types of yarn as well.  The crochet stitches seem to get all knotted up and are impossible to pull out if I made a mistake.  The yarn gets all tangled up while I'm working, too.

I love those soft, smooth worsted bamboo yarns.  Makes nice sweaters for toddlers and kids.

Status: offline 		ACK!!!  I skipped a stitch on the special afghan so I had to unravel it to the skipped area and make things straight.
