My new WIP is this granny sweater:

I found the most gorgeous Mandala yarn at Walmart and that's what I'm using for this sweater. Surprisingly this is my first lion Brand yarn and it's amazing.

The scarf I made for my coworker was a hit. I now have 5 orders

Thank you all

I used this YouTube video and followed it exactly for the panels even though my yarn is thinner and it turned out being a perfect fit. I modified the sleeves a bit by making the ribbing out of SL stitch, SC alternating instead of just SC. I think that made the sleeves wider and I love it that way.

I may have to give this one a go when I get the chance It looks super cute!

I'm the same way, I get bored and move on the something else. This afgahn I needed to do 2 more squares and put it together. It's been in a basket behind my recliner for almost 10 years. The squares are 12"x12".

This unfinished mess is a baby afghan. When we moved our farm, 25 years ago, I was working on the little granny squares. I tossed them all in a bag intending to finish it once we were settled. The baby is now 24 years old.

I also have large Latch Hook rug projects that are in different stages of completion.

Finally blocking the blanket ! The pins took way too long but now they're finally done and I can start steaming. I also measured the blanket to be 33x40, so it's pretty tiny. I'm very nervous that the steam might make the pins rust and I think it will. Anyway here goes nothing....

You should definitely get specific pins for blocking -- rust proof and with glass heads that will not melt using steam and an iron. They are worth it for all sorts of textile projects. Your blanket looks very nice!

Wow! How does 25 year old yarn feel? And were you intending to connect ALL those magic circles? My patience could never, lol.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll look into them. I wish I made the blanket a bit bigger, but thanks and I do agree with you that it looks very nice.

5 WIPs, that’s so cute!

I would be embarrassed to show my WIP closet!

Oh my goodness!! Do you think you will still make a baby blanket out of these? Do you have a picture or link to the pattern? It looks like it has the potential to be amazing!

So I have a granny square project I started 22 years ago. I recently got it out to work on. I just never wove in the ends so there’s a lot of that to do before I can start assembling it. (I posted a picture of the bag not long ago.) It’s very daunting.

I decided to split all the squares up into 5 different bags and only worry about 1 bag at a time. Tonight I finished up the first bag!

About half of them didn’t have the 4th row of black added on yet, either, so it was a little bit more fun than just weaving in ends.
