Been a while since we've had a thread about our current craft projects, just wondering what everyone is working on?

I've just finished the testing phase on a couple of new knitting patterns, big relief to get those finished off, and have also finished making a couple of dresses this week.

Got to decide what to start next week, have a good opportunity to knit on a train ride to Edinburgh and back midweek, but haven't worked out what I fancy starting yet.

What is everyone else up to?

I have a latch hook and some canvass, quite excited to start playing. I am following a simple flower pattern at the moment, using yarn, but I have other ideas too.

Then my own stuff far too many works in progress, I am crocheting big squares to use are chilly blankets fo when we have out door get togethers, a great way of using up the yarn mountain, have several needlework projects on the go got a little to finish on my hardanger and blackwork, and a pair of socks of socks there is only a little left to do.

Trying to keep it to one project at a time. Currently working on a pair of shoe laces for hubby, using a brading wheel. Learnt it off a lady when I first went up to Orkney, very simple but very useful.

Finishing off the last sleeve in a jumper that I'm knitting for the OH (and have been for about three years). Should finish it in the next month or so. Then I plan to do a hand sewing project. Denim sun glasses case. And after that I intend to make a paracord belt.

just about to start the toe shaping on the first pair of socks I have ever knitted on 4 needles, in 4 ply. I am so pleased that, by simply following the pattern exactly, I have turned the heel and it looks like a sock now ! so then I have the other sock to make, then a pair for Mr RJ and then I can start on my shawl
