Jahresdecke 2016/2016 Year Blanket
Die liebe Bella von Herzensuess hat auch dieses Jahr wieder ein tolles Projekt fuer uns - eine Decke, die ueber das Jahr verteilt hergestellt werden soll. Egal welche Technik, alles ist erlaubt.
Ich habe mich fuer eine Patchwork-Decke mit applizierten Katzen entschieden. Die Katzenvorlagen sind aus dem Buch "Claire's Cats" das schon eine halbe Ewigkeit in meiner Sammlung ist und ich werde 30er Jahre Reproduktionsstoffe aus meinem Vorrat verwenden. Ich muss nur noch ueberlegen, ob ich lieber per Hand oder mit der Maschine appliziere.
Dear Bella from Herzensuess has a great new project for us this year. A blanket that will be made over the year, any technique, anything goes.
I have chosen to make a quilt for myself with appliqued cats from the book "Claire's Cats" that has been in my collection for ages. I will use 30s reproduction fabrics from my stash. I only have to decide if I'd rather applique per hand or use the machine.

Blankets for the Cancer Center
One of my goals for 2016 is to make lap blankets and comfort shawls for the cancer center in our hospital. They have two knitting groups but since I can't drive and don't really do well in groups I will just happily knit and crochet away at home and then deliver them when I have a few ready. For now my goal is 6 blankets and 6 comfort shawls. This way I can indulge in my love of yarn crafts and not have to find room for more woolens in my house.
These are the first two finished blankets.

2016
A new year, new hopes and dreams and plans, and not to forget - new craft projects.
Well, I have a gazillion of UFOs in all stages from just started to almost finished and they will be my main focus for this year. I will only start something new if I already have the material for it or if it is for charity. Cross stitch projects are a different story altogether. I have some that are ongoing, some that need finishing and I will start a few new ones (I do have the materials, just need to buy the pattern).
My charity projects for this year are knitting hats and scarves for the homeless shelter and making shawls and lapghans for the cancer center. This lets me play with different patterns, yarns and color combinations without filling my own closets with woolens. I mean, how many blankets does one really need?
I got a head start over the holidays and here is what I have so far. Two lapghans are finished, three more are on the needles and hooks.
I must confess that I find myself in a bit of a blogging slump. I no longer feel the urge to tell the world what I am up to and the cats said they don't want their pictures taken anymore either. Maybe they are just a little grumpy at the moment because Winter is finally making an appearance here and it is quite cold. For now I am just going to take it easy and see if my mojo returns.
