The Waiting List (In no particular order)

Knitting

Socks (ongoing) - every time I finish a pair of socks, I ask Mr Random Number Generator to choose a number for me and I then find the corresponding ball/selection of balls in the sock lucky dip album. This is a collection of all the balls of sock yarn I have and I spent a few days at the start of the year  creating scrappy sock bags from the balls of leftovers which is (partly) why I have so many socks in waiting.

Quilting

Pointy points quilt

Added 1/11/22: hot water bottle covers. I need to take apart the cover I made for me (below left) is a bit too tight at the top so I’m going to make that into a cover for the mini hot water bottle I’ve just bought from Vinted (it’s a children’s one but is the perfect size for sitting on my lap) and then make two more ‘standard’ size covers for my other hot water bottles. These will all be like the one I made my niece (below right) and I’m hoping I have enough of the fabric in The Cupboard Of Possibilities to make them all the same but with different jumpers on the penguins. Maybe different coloured hearts or different motifs? 

 

Added 1/11/22: some simple cases for my dpns, probably one for each size and labelled in some way so they’re obvious without opening them. Perhaps stamped numbers? Or little tags? No photo as I haven’t decided on the fabric, but I think it’ll be lightly quilted and then made in the same way as the hot water bottle covers.

Dressmaking  

These are all my dressmaking fabrics, most of which were bought with patterns in mind (some of those have changed). They’ve been measured and catalogued and are waiting for me to start work.

Added 29/11/22: long-sleeved Lou Box tops

Needlework

Two or three cushions based on this bargello purse (not these colours or necessarily this pattern) using gorgeous
blue velvet for the back (a gift from my friend Salley)

Miscellaneous 

The fabric boxes need labels which don’t fall out (Dulux changed the size of their
paint charts between me getting the white boxes and the black ones) - I’m going to sew scraps to pieces of card.

A couple of QAYG cushions for the settee from these LV scraps. I have the wadding scraps
set aside so all I need is the time/energy/motivation.

This is going to be a Toglet Theatre/display unit for tiny knickknacks.
It needs sanding, painting and a new backing board and fabric.

Mini Archie has his own pin pennant (see below), I need my own. I’m thinking about a mini quilt or banner or
hoop rather than the traditional pennant shape.

This is mine pin pennant from mine luffly chum Lock.
