Q3'25 FInished list (7/23)

Probably my last gnome

It feels like I haven't done much this quarter! But according to my list, I've done finished a few larger projects and some smaller ones. Here's the list:

Lily (photo in prev post).

The scarf from the Alabama Chanin class, and I've yet to photograph it.

Two Monksbelt towels in 10/2 cotton from Unspun and leftover 10/2 cottons (photo in previous post). Three more are woven but not yet wet-finished or hemmed; I'm saving them in loom state to show at the October Weave In. 

Art basket

Another knitted Gnome. 

Two baskets from a class I took with Barbara Shapiro; one is quite small and the other is here. It's clear to me that I need some technique practice. But when you make one basket every 3 years, you don't get good at it.

I have a few things that I wanted to or tried to finish. They're almost done.

• The next block is carved and ready to print the next run of postcards.
• The blue sweater is still missing it's button.
• The table is almost done; it lacks a 1.5" border (which is going to be super hard to make look right) and grout.
• The 3 additional towels can be completed (hemmed) after the weave in.

Things I'm definitely going to work on in Q4:

• The baby blanket warp from the hand painted warp ready to go on the loom; baby due in December.
• Hosting a Weave In in October, so there will be napkins for that. 
• Structures group is working on woven Sashiko, so I might try that.
• I'm heading to Oregon next week for a class with Julie Weisenberger (Cocoknits) and the sample project is a baby blanket, so that's coming. 
• DH is agitating for a new bistro table top for the pool deck. 

Note I'm also playing piano, working out a lot, and spending about 2 hours a day learning German. With the two trips I have planned and the whole holiday thing this is going to be a busy three months!!!

Almost done!!!

And f I have extra time:

• 2-3 more prints, hopefully a 2 color print in the batch. I'm thinking a monarch butterfly. Maybe some fish. Probably worthwhile thinking about the rest of the year
• Another rice bag, then I can get rid of the box of parts. The pieces are quilted and waiting for embellishment.
• Another little gnome, then I can get rid of the rest of the class yarn and get rid of the box all the bits and pieces are stored in.
• Doubleweave pillows; pattern is drafted, yarn is on the shelf waiting.
• Quilt the pink hawaiian baby quilt
• Finish one of the unfinished quilts. (niemeyer)
• Stepping stones.

===================

I'll continue to include the UFO LIST from way back just to keep me honest... Not shorter this quarter but.... it will be.

Knitting: 

1. Anna Zilboorg Sweater- I need to fish it out and make a plan 
2. A Capella- frog and return the yarn to the yarn pool 
3. Sunset and Sand- needs a decision frog or finish! 
4. The jacket with the embroidery that needs rework. If I recall correctly there's an issue with the collar, and the sleeves, and I'm not sure what else...

Weaving:

1. This is super easy, since it's either on the loom or not...  
2. There are have three ikat warps (two from Indonesia, and one from a friend) that need weaving. 
3. There are a number of warps I pulled for a dyeing class then got a sick and missed it.

Quilting (Can the list really still be this long?):

1. Fan blocks: I've been dithering about what to do with them for 25 years or so.
2. The first Judy Niemeyer quilt (straighter pieces): I may need to figure out setting strips but otherwise I think I photoed a layout and I should be ready to finish the top.
3. The second Judy Niemeyer class (curved pieces): I stopped while piecing the top together but I did photo the layout; so I need to remember what I was doing and do it.
4. Judy Niemeyer place mat kit: it's in the bookshelf, waiting to be made.
5. Chili pepper quilt: Ick. Maybe donate?
6. Around the Twist quilt: It's done except I think a couple of the corners need sewing? This'll probably go to donation
7. One or two Hawaiians? (small) that need quilting One blue, one pink Where is the blue hawaiian?
8. A cute but fussy quilt that I started in pinks and blues but I'm not sure I'm precise enough to finish
9. I thought of another but can't lay my hands on it or remember now what it was so...

• Sewing:

• Spinning:
• Ugh. I need to eval

Mosaic:

1. A table: Unsure of how I want the background to be
2. Stepping stones: there's an area I made that needs rework.
