Wip Wed - The Sock, The Bag and The Cardigan

Greetings friends!  I hope you're having a wonderful Wednesday!  Today, I have three things to share.  Lets start with socks.  I have wanted to make them for so long, but I've been hesitating because -  well I don't know why.  I've had this pattern for Socks that Fit! in my queue for ages and last night the spirit  moved me to give it a whirl.  The toe instructions seemed vague, but I did what felt like the right thing and sure enough it worked - and on the first try! If this works out I might be making socks for the holidays!  Just think of all those great yarns I can use!!

Is there every really a "good" foot picture??

Marked and ready to start the heal.

Next up is the Zig Zag Bag that has been sitting in the wip pile for way too long! I'm going to line it with this great skirt fabric.  Don't they look like they were meant to be together?! I bought the skirt ages ago at the thrift store hoping it would fit, but it was too small.  I'm so happy to have found a way to use it!  I've never lined a crocheted bag which is why I've been procrastinating, but how hard can it be right?

The lining fabric is a skirt from the thrift store!

And finally there's the Chevron Lace Cardigan.  With the sleeves in the right place I should be finished by now, but of course I choose to work on other things instead.  I'm certain that this will be wonderful when its done.  I suppose if the weather were cooler and I could actually wear it when I'm finished I might get moving.  For today it's sitting patiently by my chair waiting. 

I love the way this edge looks!

One more row then it's time for the sleeves!

I don't worry too much about having several projects going at once.  It keeps me from getting bored.  As long as I get them finished eventually I feel just fine.  For me crochet is as much about the journey as it is about the destination.  I guess I just  like to make lots of stops along the way!

Be sure to pop on over to Tami's Amis and Small Things to see other great projects!

Until next time friends,
Be blessed and stitch & read with love!
