New Challenge before 2011 :)
Good evening my friend,
Every crochet-lover (like me) have at home a box of left-behind-unfinished-wip-projects, Am I right? We always start a project and something happens (like a new yarn arrival, a photo on flickr, a project on someone else blog that inspires us a lot…) and we leave behind what we’re working on to begin something new more exciting …and this happens always to me…:(
This week, I decided to open the “left-behind-unfinished-wip-projects-box and finish every project in it before end 2010!! and what a challenge for me!!
But, as I will not be able to finish wip-blankets I decided to tranform them into cushions…and That will lead me to make 7 different CUSHIONS !! yaaayyyyyyyy!!
I’ll show you today two projects I am finishing right now:
The first one is a rectangle cushion:
I found in “the box” 60 small granny squares. The original idea was to make a baby blanket and that was in march 2010 but as nobody got pregnant around me I left the baby blanket behind…for something else…
So I decided to join the 60 squares (6×10) together and make a big rectangle cushion:
I’ll show it to you when it will be 100% done in another post 🙂
The second project is a cushion I started in june 2010
I started crocheting this cushion with a thin cotton yarn and when my order of ricco creative (which is a thicker cotton yarn) arrived I left behind this cushion to try the new yarn:)
and today I am finishing it and I’ll show it to you “done” very soon I hope!
and I am also finishing my mexican cushion 🙂
So my dears, stay tuned for a lot of 100% done-cushions-posts soon to come 🙂
and you? Do you have a box of left-behind-projects? Will you empty it like me before end2010??
Here the weather is gray,windy, rainy and cold…the perfect weather to stay at home and crochet …
I am gonna make a cup of tea, put on some music, and and and….crochet 🙂
Have a warm evening!
Sucrette
good luck ( and of course I too have a lot of unfinished projects 😉 )
Good luck getting everything finished!
I have a couple of sewing projects that I need to fix problems with before I can count them as finished … maybe I should aim to get them done too before I start on next year’s birthday presents!! In general though, I like to have several things started then I can change between them when I get bored. That said, I’ve never tried to make anything as large as a blanket – don’t think I’d manage one!
Of course you are correct!
I have two wip blankets which I might turn into one cushion.
Cant wait to see yours.

Quelle belle résolution. Je ne crois pas pouvoir en faire autant. Que de couleurs; tu vas encore nous faire rêver.
Bisous et bonne nuit.
Dear Sucrette, I have so many bits and pieces lying around waiting to be finished! My resolution for 2011 is to only start something new when I have totally finished something…mmmmm not sure how that will go! Anyway, you will have some beautiful cushions when you are through x
All your half finished projects look great, some of mine are just uuugh.
Looking forward to seeing all your lovely finished cushions .

Wow I love all the colors in your projects! They are all gorgeous!
I have a huge cabinet FULL of things I started and never finished. But I do not have the space right now to get them out and work on them. Someday, …..I hope to have a craft room.
I do enjoy seeing your projects being finished!

I love all the vibrant colors that you’ve used, Angie! I have a few WIPs myself but I know I won’t be able to finish them by this year :p So, good luck to you!
what beautiful almost done projects! I dont crochet but I have lots of knitting projects in various stages of completion! I look forward to seing your cussions,they will be so nice and colourful
That’s a great idea and you’ll end up with some really beautiful cushions in the process. can’t wait to see them when they are finished.
That’s a great idea! Can’t wait to see everything. I just love covered cushions!
I love how excited you got about getting your new yarn, that you dropped everything to try it out! You are awesome! I am trying to learn to crochet, but I am very challenged in this area. I admire your talent. ; )
