A Great week!

Hi all, hope you all had a great week.  I haven't done much yarny stuff as I would like, but it was  productive. 
First of all a woo hoo!  I managed to finish my first sock, even if the toes was a bit mangled, at least I know what I did wrong, lol. And I have started the second sock so it will have a partner in crime.

An almost finished is a hoodie I am crocheting for a local charity.  It is my own design as I didn't see any patterns online for extra chunky wool.  I just need to add buttons and itdy the ends etc.  I am going to make another one to iron out the little bits that could be improved, and I will try and write up the pattern and post it here .

It is very thick and really is more of a jacket.  But it should keep some little one warm and toastie.

This week inspired by the other yopers I decided to really look at my wip pile and sort out some order in which to complete them,  First of all I decided to be honest with myself and weed out the projects that I know I would neever complete, There were  quite a few!  Then it was atime for a decision do I unravel and use the wool for other projects or give to a group of knitters that do charity work and love donated used wool, or do I try and make something from what I have already done.

The first project to hit my beady eye was a bag of hexagons from a throw that I was making 2 years ago, it was using a spiral/hexagon  pattern by Julie Yeager.  I now know that I am no good at doing repeats, I get bored. The problem for me was I didnt want to donate the wool as it was expensive and I still loved it.  I just choose the wrong project.  Do you ever buy wool with no project in mind  because it sucks you in and then spend ages trying to find a project for it?
I was looking at the hexagons and suddenly ws inspired - a bag.  A group on ravelry I belong to is having a bag Cal for July.  So I played with the hexis and came up with this.

Now I just need to block them and sew together, do a strap and perhaps line it and voila a bag and only 1 hexi not used. Yay.
However I still had a lot of skeins to use up.  Umm a a scarf so on Thursday this appeared.

 I used just a simple V Stitch, quite effective I think.
Next I thought I could try and knit something with the 5 skeins I had left,  Umma boys sweater I thought.  So  winging it I started the back last night, and finished it off before breakfast

I think that I will have one skein left and I am thinking perhaps I will add a fringe to the scarf.

So that is one wip sorted, lol.. 
The next bag to tackle is the abandoned Dance in the Rain afghan, I lost interest in that because it was frustrating to get all the squares sized up right. Already I have a few ideas on how to use them up.  
Also I have been working on my Sinnestriel wrap and will show pictures of that next week.

So for now have a happy week crafting and if you want to see what the other yoppers have been up to  go here.
