What are you working on this week?

What are you working on this week?  Do you have any lingering WIP's to finish?  Perhaps a desire to put your needles and hooks to work on a charity project or new design? Here are a couple of projects I've been working on ...

Made for The Pink Slipper Project

These are slippers made for The Pink Slipper Project.  Three are adult and knit with one of the simple and fun basic slipper patterns ( Signature Worsted Weight Knit Slipper pattern designed by Rachel Terrill).

You'll find many fun slipper patterns to knit, crochet, or sew on the website.  The other, smaller slipper is for a child and was inspired by the free pattern from Polar Knit, Easy Family Slippers.  I used RedHeartSuperSaver worsted weight  in Turqua, Delft Blue, and Royal. As with all charity projects, please remember to check yarn requirements and instructions before you begin and always respect the pattern copyright.

My WIP, Sea Breeze Top, a free LionBrand Pattern

I'm back to working on my WIP, LionBrand crochet Sea Breeze Top after taking a few days away. It's really simple to make and goes quickly. I chose CottonEase in Violet for this project.  It's going to be soft and durable and a perfect addition to any summer wardrobe.  I'll be working on the straps soon.

Here's to finished projects, wip's and a much needed rainey afternoon.  Chocolate would be good too.

Special Olympics Scarf Project made with Red Heart Super Saver, Blue and Turqua

The yarn for the Special Olympics Scarf Project arrived this morning and I wanted to share a pic of my scarf in progress.  The pattern is the Special Olympics Rib Crochet Striped Scarf and rated easy.  You will find it on the back of the wrapper.  There is still time to participate and fun patterns to choose from.  Visit the website here and get the details on yarn colors, patterns and deadlines.  You can even pick the state you'd like to knit or crochet for. 

I encourage you to keep your needles and hooks warm.  Help them get their sizzle on this winter and make a difference - one project at a time.

That fabulous be the change idea and attitude works for knitting and crochet, too...but you totally get that.

Sizzle on!
