WIP Wednesday: 2012-05-02

It is May already.  Doesn't seem like it's been that long since Christmas, but isn't that the way it goes sometimes.

I started an online class on Tunisian Crochet last week.  I'll do a review on the class soon.  I've already completed 2 washcloths which I will post on Friday.  Today I'm posting my WIP from the class, the Multi Garment.  It's a sort of sampler of different tunisian stitches:



Another project that has shown some progress is my Tunisian Tee.  I've finished the 1st full body block (gosh, that's sound like a wrestling term), and am ready to start the next block.  There is a Tunisian Crochet-A-Long on this project that was scheduled to be complete a long time ago, but I don't think anyone ever finished the project.  I'm struggling with the pattern a bit and not having much luck getting help.



My Bumbleberrypie afghan is resting today.  I did manage to weave in all the ends on the completed squares and will start joining them soon.  Not sure how many more I'm going to need or if I'm going to stop doing squares and start thinking about a border.



This poor shawl that I was testing for a designer on Ravelry had to be ripped back 19 rows.  Her pattern called for 200g of fingering weight yarn, which was exactly what I had in my stash and no more.  I was about 2/3 through the LAST row when I ran out.  GRRR!  In the pic below, you see the almost finished shawl.  I've ripped back to row 30 now and am omitting row 31 in order to have enough to finish the shawl.



The shawl will come with me for my hair appointment this afternoon.  Maybe I can get a little bit done while I'm sitting under the hair dryer.  I'm getting my hair cut and COLORED.  This is unusual for me, but L commented how I ought to color the gray, so I'm going to try it.  It'll probably run all over everywhere when I ride my bike and sweat glisten until I drip.
