Project Percentage Complete: 21%
Overall Percentage Complete: 25%
Since I had been focusing on my cabled scarf, which is not done yet, I thought I'd take a break from the needles and revisit my crochet hook. I picked up a G and started plugging away on my Christmas ornaments, the ice skates. The pattern is very easy to memorize and they turn out pretty quickly. I made 5 pair in about an hour (with interruptions).
My percentage this week took a HUGE jump because of the fast nature of the skate ornament and the fact I have so many of them to make. I know that when these are done, my percentage will slowly climb to the top - not like the rocket ship climb I took this week.

Your scarf looks very snuggly and the ice skates are so cute! It does feel so good to finish things.
Oh wow I love those ice skates!!! SO COOL!
Your scarf looks gorgeous, well done on getting it finished. How cute are those skates, really lovely
How sweet are those ice skating boots! And your scarf well its stunning!
Your scarf is beautiful and those little skates are so cute. I'm going to have to buy some big paperclips tomorrow so I can give them a try.
You had a good week, always nice to see your percentages grow. If I tried to figure out right now, it would still be pretty low I think. The scarf looks awesome. Congrats on getting it done! Most cool to get a wip moved over to the fo category.
I know the overall percentage will fluctuate because I have several things *not* on my list that I'll be doing here soonish. And of course, I know once those skates are done, the percentage will crawl to 100%. Oh well - I'm glad to just see some progress, even if its on the small things :)
Thanks! You can't really see it in the picture, but I'm using wool-ease for the white part so they are a little fuzzy at the top. I think they would look flat if it were a plain ole white, non-fuzzy color. I really think you'll like them!
Thanks!
Thanks :)
Thank you :)
The blend is surprisingly soft even though it's a wool blend. Thank you and yes, it does feel good to get things done :)
Oh wow, it looks like you've been on a real roll this week, isn't it a lovely feeling when something gets completed so quickly!
Looks like you are making great progress! Those skates are so cute and I cannot wait to see your scarf blocked!
Congrats on finishing you beautiful Scarf I absolutely love it! And the skate OMG I must try to make some are you using 1 or 2 paperclips? I have so many WIPs hanging on every door knob and a ton in my head I need to do what you do and make a list (to keep my ADD in check lol) So anyone can join the group?
I love the skates and its great to have a quick project. Scarf looks gorgeous - are you sure it needs blocking? x
Congrats on your finished scarf--it looks so warm and cozy and wintery.
