WIP Thursday - Nope, Not Back On Schedule

The universe likes to laugh at my puny attempts to get things under control and throw things at me...like a case of streph and a sinus infection.  Don't worry, I stayed away from the fabric, so it's safe!

Tiki stitch is going to become some tank tops and tote bags!

Today's the first day I've felt mostly alive, and even that is kind of iffy, so not much is getting done this week.  Instead, here's pictures of pretty fabric.  I'll be back next week, hopefully with both lungs still inside my body instead of coughed out.

new sketchy style fabric, fun but a HUGE scale so not sure what projects will work with it

Here's a fast pic of the skort, with my model testing the 'twirl' ability.  She approved! Main fabric is harder to find Backstitch pokemon, but the stripes are from Dark Matter and they are usually available between preorders!

Shorts are peeking out the bottom, they match the waistband

Super twirly!

• C2C (corner to corner) baby doll blanket crochet with some random scarfie yarn - Need to figure out what hook I was using...
