What I want to get done before end of year

I am still working on the first crocheted pot holder. I am about half way done with it now. I am hoping to get it done before Christmas so we can use them.

I also am working on a crocheted Ruffled Wreath. The pattern is from Our Best Christmas Thread Crochet. I am using Aunt Lydia's size 10 crochet cotton. I have one ball of cream and two balls of green. I hope I can get back to work on it soon so I can have it ready for Christmas this year.

I ripped out the shawl I was working on since I made a mistake and couldn't figure out where it was made. I don't have any shawls on the needles right now, but I hope I can get one on early next year.

I am also working on improving my spindle spinning right now. I am using some natural brown roving my mom let me have to improve my spinning skills. I hope I can get them up by next year so I can enjoy spinning angora fiber that I will be getting from my rabbits.

Latest Projects

I frogged the baby blanket since I didn't like the way it was turning out. I don't know what I am going to do with that yarn at the moment but I will figure it out.

I am working on crocheting potholders at the moment. I am still working on the first one and I am taking my time with it. It is out of Peaches N Cream and the color is Earth tones. I like the way it is turning out so far. I will post a picture as soon as I get the first one done. The pattern is from: http://www.mielkesfarm.com/diagonal_hotpad.htm.

I am also knitting a shawl for myself. I am using Brown Sheep's Cotton Fleece and the color of the one skein is Sedona Red. I have to buy more yarn when I am ready for it. Only way to get the pattern is by joining the list. The list name is MMarioKKnits. The group is really nice too. What I have seen so far, his patterns are very easy to understand.

What I've been working on

I made an tree top angel for the Christmas tree last year. I had her finished in time for Christmas and that made me happy. I don't have a picture up yet, but will get one up as soon as possible.

Right now I am working on a simple square baby blanket that will go to my aunt and uncle. It is being made out of baby terry yarn that was given to us. I am hoping to have it finished by the end of February so we can get it mailed to them.

I also am working on making a strap for a dog harness. I hope to get it finished soon, but not in a real hurry at the moment. It is being made out of some bright green cotton/acrylic sock yarn that was given to my family.
