Oh its so CUTE! What a great way to get rid of a color you donā€™t care for.

Itā€™s wonderful you gift so many of your makes! Iā€™m curious about the cyclops - that sounds really cool!

Results for Fourth destash (week 22-28)

I didnā€™t finish my black cloak but did finish 1 skein out of 3 on my 2nd one. There might be more skeins will have to check my containers to be sure, but it 's coming along well, might have to get more skeins to finish it! Decided to go with a G/6 - 4.25 mm hook. Hereā€™s the current image of it, folded in half Itā€™ll be one of the WIP to finish for the fifth destash week! I did 96+2 chains to start off with since my crochet hook is much smaller than recommended hook

I finished my unlabeled pink yarn by double stranding it, along with triple stranding the unlabeled yellow yarn for this owl

I did end up buying some white yarn and green yarn since theyā€™re colors I often use along with more yarn for a project that Iā€™m testing which will probably take some time since itā€™s a cardigan. So while I might not be able to finish the challenge of the weeks I still will be destashing other things here and there especially the yarn I got for the test, plus depending on the challenge might be able to get far along for it :smile:

I am so so sorry everyone! I spent practically all weekend and most of last week drowning in paperwork left by the previous employee :melting_face:, but I have finally resurfaced!

This weekā€™s prompt is a sort of bye week, a free space in bingo if you will!

Without further delay, Week 5ā€™s Theme is: Work on a WIP!

The only goal this week is to make some progress on a project that needs some love! You donā€™t have to complete your wip, but I want to see them! ^.^ This can be a phsyical project or an idea/design in the works - whatever you feel like working on and sharing!

No inspo post this week because wips will be highly specific to the individual, but Iā€™m hoping seeing each others wips will be inspiration enough!

Sorry again for the delay - I think everything will be back to normal now! :crazy_face:

Also if anyone has a seasonal make/wip they havenā€™t shared, yet, feel free to drop them below! Iā€™ll spin tomorrow for our winner :sparkling_heart:

Iā€™m working on my dress again! At least trying to when I have the free timeā€‹:sob:
I started a huge tapestry blanket (around 4ā€™ by 7ā€™) that needs to be done by Christmas on top of all the other presents I need to makeā€‹:skull:
Each row takes an hour, and I have 250ish more rows to do in 80ish days lol
So not much free time anymore with that plus everything elseā€‹:sob:

Thank you! Iā€™ll add my info for week five right now. Some of the WIPā€™s I actually managed to finish :grin: and no worries! Itā€™s understandable hopefully youā€™re no longer buried under all the paperwork!

Iā€™ll be destashing from my: Yarns and WIP pile

My goal(s): To hopefully finish the project(s) or get as far as I can

The Project(s): My Halloween costume black cloak and a pouch

Yarn(s): Lion Bran wool ease (Pic 1) and red heard brown and unlabeled yellow yarn

Crochet hook: G/6 - 4.25 mm

I finished 2 cakes of the unlabeled yellow yarn by triple stranding and double stranding my red heart brown to start making an animal crossing pouch it should hopefully be done soon Iā€™m close to finishing a third cake of the unlabeled yarn

I will probably finish it by the time I post this lol

Edit: Results so far for Fifth destash week (Sep. 29 - Oct. 5)

I did actually finish both the pouch, as for my Halloween costume black cloak I did run out of yarn! I still need to make the hood and Iā€™ll probably make the cloak a cape or capelet depending on my mood since itā€™s taking a bit to make it longer lol, thankfully Iā€™m super close to reaching the length for the original pattern. Iā€™ll make the hood and any leftover yarn will be for the cape length :grin: Iā€™m about 11.5 or 11 1/2 inches and it needs to be at 12 inches. I used all 3 skeins I had for this. Not sure when Iā€™ll get yarn maybe tomorrow. Just a note for myself the dye lot for all 3 are 578922

Iā€™m still working on the test for the cardigan, unfortunately I made a mistake and it doesnā€™t fit me and I donā€™t want to frog it lol so Iā€™ll be making it for a family member who I know will fit in it, thankfully Christmas is coming up :rofl:

Iā€™ll share anything I managed to destash at the end of the week if I did anything

Hereā€™s some of my favorite makes for September!

This mushroom dragon is my WIP for week 4. Itā€™s a pattern by ComplicatedKnots on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ll9ynsF-Gg8) I wanted to make since it came out (nearly two months ago). And I think it fits fall perfectly :fallen_leaf: :mushroom:

Glad youā€™ve made it out from under the paperwork!

I have a skeleton wip (from a complicated knots video) that i really need to get done. I really hate the yarn im using so its slow going and i keep putting it down. I just need to get it done.
