So my week has been super productive. Despite having a seriously full workload because of my studies, I managed to finish not one, but TWO projects. Finishing anything is pretty much unprecedented for me, but this is outrageous! But here we are...
I managed to finish my tote and my christmas potholders. I'm pretty sure my grandmothers will never use those potholders for fear of getting them dirty, but I'm really happy with the way they turned out. It wasn't easy working without a pattern. The only reason they are flat is because I ironed them. But I'm happy with them none-the-less. Once my exams are out of the way I'm going to write up the pattern properly and put it on Ravelry.
On another note, I am in a bit of a bind. I have a few projects lined up but first and foremost, I wanted to make something for each of my cousins on their birthdays. Which happens to be at the beginning on January, February and March respectively. The problem is I don't know what to make. I have plenty of patterns but nothing that inspires me. I'd love to make them something summer-y, but there's not a lot of summer patterns for little boys. I'm going to keep hunting though. I found a raglan tunic that might work. I'll have to try it out and see if it works with the yarn I wanted to use. Hopefully I won't run out of time.
A blog dedicated to the little and not so little projects that keep me from losing my mind.

Christmas Kitchenware
This is my latest inspiration. A lady I know received a set of these christmas potholders as a gift. Knowing about my granny square tote project, she thought I might like to try making a set myself.
I had a hunt around online for patterns that had a similar design but came up short. So I've decided to try and recreate it by sight.
It looks like a lot of work, but I'm for the challenge. I thought it might make nice gifts for my grandmothers. So after my bag is complete, I plan to get to work on them. Hopefully I can have them done in time for christmas!
