Current Time Occupiers Update

Ok... so like all things in life nothing goes as planned. I was able to make 3 of the 4 bath puffs expected and then I lost, yes lost, the last skein needed for the 4th. I am not sure if I am going to go out and re-buy the particular color or if I should make it with another color of yarn that I already have at my house. I know my mom would like one made for her as well. This is also good because there were no pictures taken before they were given away, so now I will be able to do that as well. Status has been updated to 0 made of 2 needed, one for a bridesmaid and one for my mom.

Granny square afghan. Same progress as before since there were other projects with a higher priority or I got sidetracked learning a new stitch. This still needs the last block created (half way through that), the edging on the last square, attaching all the squares together and the border.

Sachet Yellow/White Bag. I am at the exact same progress for this as well. I am thinking of completing it and using it as the bag I provide the bath puff to my mom in. We will see. It is near the end, just a few more rows and then a string to use to weave in and tie it up.

Orange Fuzzy Yarn Scarf. Same as before. I am only 1/3 the way through. I removed this project from the needles to try a new stitch and have set it to the side.

The Zombiebot Crobot. I have found a great set of eyes and one spring to use. I have not made any progress on its body parts, though I do seem to have all the necessary supplies to make it. This might be a holiday gift for my so.

And what I decided to make, for no reason besides to try... a scarf. I am using a knitting stitch from one of my books and I can now knit without having the directions open. I made a mistake twice so far, but it is not noticeable (I asked the so) and I am using a new yarn that we picked up in a deep purple.

Hopefully next time I post, I will have some pictures to share a bunch of projects completed.
