Yopping Update #12 - I have NOTHING on my needles

 

Nothing on my needles for the past eighteen hours.

What?  I know right?  I had three finishes this week, and now I have zero WIPS.  

I finished this little guy this week.

Gnome is where you hang your hat

And I forgot to show you last week that I also finished my basket!

Only took 2.5 years to finish

The instructions for the basket says that it is tradition to give away your first basket so I gave it to my husband to remind him of our trip to Arizona and a promise that we will get back there for another long camping trip. One day.

I washed all my samples I spun during Tour de Fleece Redux 

perfect minis for my nativity shepherds

And for the challenge day on Thursday I plied on my Turkish Spindle.

I decided this week that I didn't want to wait anymore to put together my Wrapped in Jamie Blanket.  I used a zigzap slipstitch to join the squares together and then I single crocheted around the blanket.  I really like how it turned out.

With that done I could finish my Spice of Life blanket with the leftovers and so...tada!

both blankets are baby sized, or good size for lap blankets
Not sure who the recipients will be yet

On the spinning front I began my rainbow fingering spin.  This is going to take some good while, but here is my progress so far:

So that's my week.  Perhaps by next week I will have something on my needles but not sure what is calling me to cast on.  Stay tuned.  

Just for fun here is a picture of the coffee table (my workspace) from earlier this week - 

And as promised my wee grand-daughter learning how to play with party favours.  My little sunflower.

I had a great phone appointment with my Naturopath on Wednesday.  She has given me a new regime of supplements and I have to say that after only three days I am feeling much better, sleeping better, and I have more energy to get things done.  I joked with my daughter that I spent my kids' inheritance buying all the supplements, but if it works then it is well worth it.  

I am still trying to figure out blogger's new changes.  Now the labels are different again, and so are the captions for photos.  Sigh.  I am not good with change, but I am persevering. 

Have a good week all, and to follow other yoppers check out their newest posts at the top right of this blog, or if you are a Ravelry member you can check them out here.
