50 Projects 2013--You Know You Can Do It! Join here and post your lists !

[fantasticmio]

I made these today:

I was completely taken by these two colours in the balls, but I intensely dislike the end result... according to my fiance, that's nuts.


I like this one much better!



I'm switching over to a more long term project (or two!) now, so this might be it for today. ^_^

What? Mio--today?  wow--I swear you get faster at crochet each year!  I love the spirals!

Kstar--nice use of vintage fabric...and, you made something that qualifies for the January challenge!

I will post the brief challenge notices here and then more details on the first page:

fantasticmio, those are lovely yarns, what brand are they?

[fantasticmio]

It's Lion Brand Homespun.

The first blanket was Seafoam and Parfait colours and the second one was Tumbleweed and an unlabeled ball I had kicking around (definitely Homespun, just not sure on the colourway)

[alwaysinmyroom]

I think I will add some sort of afghan to my list!

[ladysarahjane]

I've always wanted to do one of these in the past but have avoided them due to my long work hours.  However, at the end of May I will be becoming a stay at home mom (yea!) and think that this will help get projects out of my craft room and into the world much faster.  Without further ado, here is my list in no particular order, with more to come down the road when inspiration hits:

Well.  50 projects in a year is almost one a week.  I probably can't make one thing a week, I have school and recitals and such.  But I shall do my best.

So anyways.  Just so you-all know, some are going to be mimics of what I've seen elsewhere, but simply must have for myself.  And so I shall make them.  Also, I like plastering my walls with movie and book stuffs, thus the contents of half my list.  It's not because I lack inspiration, or anything. 

50 Projects:
(In no particular order, of course)

1.     Stuffed Toothless <3 (wip)
2.     Embroidered LOTR map
3.     Knitted Piano (Pattern is crocheted, so we shall see....)
4.     Thorin's Poem wall hanging -starts singing- "far overrr the Misty Mountains coldddd..."
5.     A real actual sweater for people, knitted.
6.     A real actual blanket.
7.     Art Of Music Wall Hanging (Google "Art Of Music." It's lovely)
8.     Illusion Baby Blanket (design TBA)
9.     Knitted Gloves (wip)
10.   Finish Knitted Duvemala farm (bonus points if you know this place) (wip)
13.   Lifebook 2013 (Or what's-it-called, the fabulous 3D journal)
14.   Knitted Creeper (They be spawnin' in my house and blowin' up my sheeps!)
15.   Men's Button-shirt to a lady-shirt.
16.   Go Yarn-bombing (And make it into the paper, hopefully)
17.   Coin ring
18.   Chain Mail necklace
19.   Chain Mail bracelet
20.   Various Knitted Gnome Keychains
21.   Knitted lacy shrug
22.   Design my 2013 School Binder  (2012's was a Hobbit door, and it disintegrated....)
23.   Dissected Frog, and framed.  Knitted, no worries.
24.   Learn Woodburning (but maybe it's not legal in a dorm, sigh)

27.   Masquerade ball mask
28.   Bridesmaid gown
29.   1800s Ballgown  (Wip)

31.   Join and Complete a Swap, Woo!

3.     Knitted Piano
9.     Knitted Gloves  <---I made two rights or else I would have finished them last week.  Sigh.
10.   Knitted Duvemala
30.   Friend Magnetic Door Tile (Yay for Metal doors, the decorations are endless)

And I'll probably add and change things as I see other projects I simply...must have.  Or, you know, if school gets tough and such.

Forteisbest - there are two good ways to keep track of your list - one is to go to the first page of this craft-along (Alwaysinmyroom puts a link to each of our lists there). The other is to put a link to it in your signature line. There may be a better way to do this but this is how I did it: click on the "Re: 50 Projects 2013--You Know You Can Do It! Join here and post your lists !" above your list then copy the url in the address bar - that links directly to your list. Add it to your signature (by going to the "my craftster"  in the yellow bar then the "my profile" in the blue pop-up bar then click on the "forum profile information" under "Modify Profile" on the left of the page).

good to see you goktrose!

I also see you are going to do the sky scarf!  I knitted two rows today and felt like I was slacking... ...I am working on other projects to keep me busy and using it to slow me down!
