Historical version 95 of Kake's Projects (view current version)
Currently on the go
See also Kake's Yarn Stash and Kake's Wish List.
- Badger eyelash waistcoat - About two-thirds done.
- Kake's Noro Coat - The Sequel - body done, started on sleeves.
- Kake's Shiny Blanket - Have yarn from [Juliet]?! Time to dig this one out again. May however make a jacket with it instead.
- 'Birch' shawl - done! Blocked! Sew ends
Stalled projects
- Kake's mitred crochet baby jacket - Sort of lost interest a bit. I think I may just go for the adult size straight off.
- Kake's Noro Scarf for Art - done but it needs to be bigger. Waiting for Art to send yarn.
- Kake's Albany Summer Top - Need more yarn.
- Coiled basket - base is about 10cm diameter. I keep forgetting about this one.
- Black fishnet crochet jumper - two small seams left to do, but it's actually wearable now. Which has removed my motivation to finish it properly :)
- Lilac long-sleeved top - need to decide if I actually like this after all. I think I probably don't - the yarn is too heavy for the design. Try it on once more and then undo it.
- Marna's cardie - need to sew it up.
- Purple crochet baby trousers for Katy - need to buy some poppers that actually work. Or velcro.
- Jumper for doop - black Sirdar Wow - started again with top-down pattern.
- Hemp mitred squares thing - still playing about with design.
- Simon's jumper - need to mail swatches.
Reasonably firm plans
- hem-up tunic top in Jaeger Albany, 4 or 4.5mm needles.
- http://ample-knitters.com/susan3.html jacket in the shiny yarn (crochet)
- old plans - scarf in stimpspun mulberry, jumper for Nick, anthracite bead choker for doop
