Slow Week

 It has been a slow crafting week here. I am a public school teacher, and we had parent/teacher conferences, which means I worked many more hours than usual. Also, I got my second COVID vaccine on Tuesday (yay!), which gave me flu-like symptoms yesterday, so absolutely no crafting was done in that time. 

So, in the absence of lots of amazing crafty things to tell you, I thought I would show off what I have in the works right this minute. I'll split them into categories- long-term WIPs (works in progress), medium-length WIPs, and short-term WIPs. It turns out that I have several long-term WIPs, so today's post is just going to feature them. Check back in a few days for my other WIPs!

Long-term WIPs:

I've been making a pile of woven 4"x4" pin loom squares for an afghan for years now. Here's one of the squares:

I'm starting a pile of woven 2"x2" squares to assemble into larger projects at a later date. Here is a recent one:

I'm working on a crocheted "Catch-All", something to hang over the door with pockets to store things:

I'm working on a crocheted afghan, one square at a time: 

I'm working on a crocheted sweater made up of flower/leaf motifs: 

I'm working on a large crocheted afghan that I started YEARS ago: 

And I'm working on a "toothbrush rug", a skill similar to knitting or crochet, but it uses a large needle to sew loops:

You would think I would have enough to work on just from those projects, but no! The grass is always greener on the next project, so of course I have plenty of other things I've been working on besides these. Check back soon to see my other WIPs. 

Happy crafting!
