YOP Week #7 Year 12

 I had a productive week for a change!  Feeling really good and I have energy too....which I haven't had in awhile.  I did finish the Giant Granny Square blanket although the edging didn't seem to turn out like my others.  It curled so I washed and dried it but it still curls.  I did not do the last round of the edging pattern but that should not have made a difference as I didn't do that round on the others either.  *Marsha...I forgot to mention that to you if you use that edging pattern*

Anyway, here it is ............actually it is not that wonky and probably looks better folded up or on a bed or chair...........that will probably be the last Giant Granny Square I make.  I think I've had my fill now. 

I'm on to regular granny squares.........

I also finished the ghost doily but it needs blocking and I am waiting for pins and a blocking board.....

I did not finish Sam's tie but I am on the homestretch.  I did the decreases for around the neck and now it is just 8 stitches and garter stitch to the end. It looks awfully long to me but I followed the instructions to a T and it is a Red Heart pattern....hopefully it will fit him alright.

I got my scrubbie yarn in the mail and made 3 of them for my daughter.  I have another 3 to make for a friend's birthday. 

I didn't quite final finish my Summer XS and I had this fabric and this idea but not sure where I'm going with it from here! LOL!  Stay tuned as it should be a final finish by next week, I hope.

Besides my yarn that came in the mail...........

I also got a couple quilting books from Thrift Books.........

That's it for this week.  My goals for next week will be to finish Sam's tie, final finish the Summer XS, make 3 more scrubbies and some granny squares.  I have ordered a quilting hoop, and needles to maybe try hand quilting my Christmas quilt.  I also have plans for working on the quilt for my bed and making some blocks for a Scrappy Star quilt....we shall see!  Plus, once I finish Sam's tie I will pull out the old Multnomah...this will be the 3rd time I'll be trying to make it....3rd time is charm they say.  I also need to make a rotation schedule for cross stitch, and all my other crafts.

I hope you have all had a happy and creative week and I wish you the same for this coming week!

Happy Trails!!!
