Art, Craft and Needlework, April 2015

I am doing sleeves on the mauve sweater one done and one apx. Half done now yea! I will have two sweaters to seam up shortly.

Next project pink yarn to knit up a sweater, and pink and blue yarn for baby planket & sweater.

Here's a finished object. Took about 7 weeks, crocheting on the train. That translates to about 10 hours a week (gee, like a part time job!), which means a 70 hour project! YIKES!!!

Elizabeth, that is beautiful. It looks so delicate. What an exact way to know how much time you spent. Also good job having a small bidding war start over your auction contribution.

Nancy, how long is it taking you to do each buttonhole? I don't think I remember you doing buttonholes before, but a good skill to know.

Harmony, I need to read over again how you did the photos. Lots of work could be done on that project around here.

I got the some petals and dainty greenery bits from dd's corsage pressed. Both are an unknown as far as how they will press, but we'll see.

Does anyone else have creativity to report? We'd love to hear!

Button holes are fast and easy techniques I have used for other increases.
I still need to stitch around them.
