WIP's & FO's

I have been crocheting. It seems that's all I do on the sbahn or the weekends anymore. I just haven't been posting. BUT, I have been taking photos! And I'll post them sometime in the next week. What have I finished?

1. A commisioned ripple baby blanket. Turned out great! My second commissioned object! Woohoo!
2. A photo ipod cosy. A friend saw mine and said he wanted one too, but in teal. It took me a while to get around to it, but I sat down one weekend and after frogging my attempt two times, finally came up with an acceptable cosy. He loved it! He sent me flowers! I took photos of them too - I'll post them too. :) Plus, this cosy gave me an idea of an improvement on my original one and now I'm itching to make another one for myself.
3. Two scarfs for the Scarf Swap at Crochetville. I am *never* making something with motives again! All those ends! They took *forever*. The other one was a pretty lacy ripple scarf. I'll show photos when they arrive at my scarf swap partner.
4. Flowers for the flower swap. They should have arrived a long time ago - have to check on them.

And now my WIPs:

1. Star baby blanket for a co-worker. Almost done! Woo hoo!
2. Reversible potholder stitch blanket for a formet co-worker. Ack....still only about 1/5 of the way through.
3. A pretty verigated two strand purse for myself that I started on impulse a couple of weeks ago. I was in the city, had no yarn, and was going to the movies. So I bought some yarn and a hook to tide me over the movie commericials. Yes, this is an obsession.

The WIMs (works in mind) that I want to do before I leave:
1. Rainbow ipod cosy for a friend.
2. Rainbow motive somethings (bookmarks?) for two other good friends.

WIMs in general:
1. Blanket for my babe.
2. Shrug using the shrug schematics posted at C'ville.
3. Sweater for myself - I bought the yarn in Karlsruhe when I met Josie and Marvie, I just haven't started the darn thing!
4. Couple of Christmas presents for family members.

Wow - that's a lot, huh? No wonder I haven't finished my resume!

Wow, you have a lot on your plate!

Hey, is it okay if I swipe a copy of the Thread CAL button? I have a different one already but yours is the same size as the other buttons in my CAL button area so it'll fit better. And I love butterflies :)
