Pippijoe bag finished!

I finished my Pippijoe sling bag tonight! Will post pictures soon. Now to cross that off my craft challenge....

My Craft Challenge 2009

I know it might seem a bit late in the year to start a craft challenge, but I figure what the hell!

What am I challenging myself to I hear you ask? Good question! I am challenging myself to fulfill the following crafting endeavors:
- Finish the 2 pairs of socks I currently have on my knitting needles
- Finish one of the scarf's I have on my knitting needles
- Make one piece of clothing for myself that I will actually wear out of the house. I am thinking of a skirt. I like this Kwik Sew pattern. If you have any favourite skirt patterns I'd loved to her which ones they were!
- Finish the crochet blanket that I have started.
- Finish the Pippijoe sling bag I have started.

Hmm, let's see if I can do it!

My Creative Space

So here's my go at "My Creative Space" - not sure if I'm doing right, but here I go.

I did make a spreadsheet yesterday of all my knitting yarn because I was procrastinating about doing uni work. Probably not the smartest idea since I have a mountain of uni work to do that is bigger than I ever had before, but I just could not get motivated!

I also started a project to used up some of my stash - and venture into crochet. I have attempted crochet before, but not like this. I've decided to make a granny style blanket using yarn that I have no project idea for. Here is my progress so far:


It hasn't been as difficult as I found crochet to be in the past, so this is turning into a very good project to sit in front of the TV and do, as well as something where I don't have to finish a round before putting it down - which is another bonus!

Here are few details about the project:
* 4.5mm hook
* Yarns used included: Carnival 8 ply in grey
Bendigo Woollen Mills Colonial in Eucalypt and Cadet.

Have a good weekend :)

How do you manage your stash????

It is a very dull and miserable day here in Sydney and I'm finding it very hard to get motivated to do anything! Well, any uni work anyway...

I've been thinking about ways to reduce my knitting yarn stash recently and have been searching for patterns on Ravelry. I dont keep my stash up-to-date on ravelry, so I was thinking of another way to keep an inventory of what I have so I can decide if a project is suitable for what I have or not. So I have decided that I will put together a spreadsheet of what I have in my stash. So here are the headings I think I will need for my spreadsheet:

• Brand name
• Yarn name
• Colour
• Fibre
• Weight
• Amount

If you can think of any other headings that would be useful in managing my stash, it would be great to hear from you. Or of any other ways that you manage your stash!

And here is an image to hopefully brighten your day :)
