This bad boy is finally on the blocking boards. I'm so happy to finally have it done.

7-7-7 meme

I was tagged by the exquisite @bluebellofbakerstreet to take part in this satisfying game. It’s easy. You go to the seventh page of your work in progress and post seven sentences.

I panicked at first, but today Bluebell posted the result of her WIP and it was glorious. I am hoping that the bare bones I post here will turn out half as good as Bluebell’s work did.

This is from Heather Who Loved Roses, a story for @thetimemoves who won me in the FandomTumpsHate auction. The story is in that awkward editing stage and looks like a basket of wet washing and is as difficult to handle.

“You have to stop them!” Clara cried. She had Rosie with her, and carried the stupid bag of toys and wipes.

“Stop who?” Sherlock asked.

“John and Harry! They’re going to the funeral to throw rocks at his father’s coffin!”

“John has a father?”

“Of course he has a father! He’s been in prison and he died a couple of days ago. He’s being buried this afternoon and John and Harry are –“

“John’s father has been in PRISON?” (Honestly, I would pay quite a lot of money to have seen the look on Sherlock’s face when he learnt that.)

It needs more soap and hot water but its getting there. I’m tagging @wtgilsa , @marybegone , @conversationswithjohnlock , @vulgarweed , @ancientreader , @disregardedletters  and @discordantwords in the hope you are working on something and want to share. I’m tagging everyone else spiritually so if you’re mid-project and want to energise Bluebell’s blessing, post away!  As Bluebell showed us, it doesn’t have to be a writey thing.

The pattern is starting to show up and I'm hyped. I might actually add a lace edging from the heirloom knitting book to it bc I messed up the stitch number a few times, so that is kinda hidden. Working with cobweb is a lot more fun than anticipated, and I am happy I got this yarn without knowing what it was.

The cobweb lace is coming along rather nicely. The peach coloured ball you can see is what I plan to use for the edging once my Base scarf is done. I'm not even sure if it's still a scarf or closer to a small stole. Well, I guess we'll see when it's done.

This is actually neon yellow. I actually like this stitch in this yarn, so I'll make a cowl out of it.

Also do you know of any projects/ideas of what to do with yarn remnants?

One of my favorite things to do is make bracelets. I usually last one between 4 to 6 rows so it's thick. You can also make bows or little chains for keychains. You can also combine a bunch of leftover yarn and make a stylish multicolored scarf or even a cellphone case.
