First annual SDMB Craft Exchange

Since everybody else is posting, I know what I want to do, I just haven’t actually put it together yet.

I got started, I am just proceeding slowly. :slight_smile:

How are people doing with their projects?

I’ve turned the heel on the first of Congodwarf’s socks, so am on track to finish before the end of the year.

YAY SOCKS!!! I’m so looking forward to this.

I’ve been washing my Carhartt socks every other day so I can wear them as much as possible because they’re so warm. Methinks I need to stock up on thicker stocks.

I’m using this weekend to get started on the actual piece, after getting my workshop cleaned up and replacing parts on my tools. Hopefully yours will turn out worthwhile. It won’t take a lot of work now, but I’m trying something slightly new and may need to take a second shot at it. I’m motivated by deadlines, so I’ll get you something before the year is out.

I’ve got about 4" of dragon crocheted, so I’m also on track to get this done as an Xmas present :). I had a few setbacks (lost the pattern in a move, then found the pattern but couldn’t find the right sized hook…) but everything’s cool now. It’s kind of a challenging pattern for me so I’ve been going slow.

The necklace is finished, I just need to locate appropriate boxes (a nice one for the necklace, and a sturdy one for shipping).

I’m just putting the finishing touches on mine. It should be in the mail by sometime next week…

I’m still wondering if my exchangee got her stuff.
ETA: No I’m not. July was a long time ago. And I am dumb.

I just got a beautiful beaded neclace today from Jeep’s Phoenix! It will go perfectly with a wine colored sweater I just bought. Awesome!

wrong thread

Yay!!! :smiley: I’m glad you like it!

Pix!

I wish I had seen this thread soon enough to participate. Dn’t know how I missed it. Hopefully I can get in on the next one, it sounds like FUN!

This picture doesn’t really show off the length of the necklace, but the colors look pretty good.

Purty!

Thank you, JP. I haven’t gotten the camera out to take a pic (yet). It really goes well with a good share of my winter wardrobe, so it will be worn a lot!

Zyada please check your PMs!!!

Hey Twix, I’m finishing up this weekend, should have it in the mail early next week. Hopefully it arrives before the end of the year.

O.M.G. Pysanky eggs are beautiful! Stunning! Amazing! Even the Celtling immediately “got” that these are works of art rather than toys.

I just can’t get over how elegant and intricate they are! s/a sent two lovely wrapped boxes, one for me and one for Celtling. I think mine must be a goose egg? It’s much bigger and incredibly elaborate. Celtling got two smaller (chicken?) eggs, and she has them proudly displayed in her bedroom (she stole the stand as well, LOL!)

slightly askew, you are brilliant, and these are beautiful, and I am honestly honored to have them in my home!

Thank you, thank you ! ! ! !
