W.I.P.Wednesday : My CAL project and more.

So today is Wednesday and I have a lot of projects on my needles and hooks as always.
I'm only going to share pictures of two of them.

I'm still working on my Teddy Bear Huggy Blanket which you can read about here .No newer photos though since I have a big and important project going on.

So Stacey from Freshstitches has started a CAL, which involves crocheting Jackie the Cow ,one of her adorable must-make- patterns. Yeah I'm a sucker for her patterns and I'm not ashamed to admit it! haha.
Of course I had to participate.

I'm not quite done choosing my colors, but I've started out with a dark pink for the body :

I'm using a 100 % acrylic for this cow. It's Jette from Hjertegarn.

Besides that. I'm doing a secret knitting project.
And it has a deadline!
Oh yeah. A VERY short deadline I might add.
I REALLY hope I can make it. Haven't been knitting since before Christmas. And I already had to rip out 15 rounds of lace pattern.
Reminder to myself : Remember a safety line!

I'm using 2 types of yarn :
Muskat which is a 100 % mercerised Egyptian Cotton, it has a fairly firm structure when knitted which is needed for some parts of this pattern.

The other  yarn is :
Cotton Viscose , a 54 % Cotton , 46 % Rayon. It has a nice shine ,but is a bit slippery to knit with when not used to it.


A sneak Peek : 

I hope everyone has a great and productive Wednesday.

W.I.P.-Teddy Bear Huggy Blanket

This is my first W.I.P.
Reading about other peoples projects, seeing their progress and the enthusiasm that shines through, when they write about their projects are very catching and made me want to share mine .
I always have several projects going on at the same time , but I'm only going to share one, at least this week .

The Teddy Bear Huggy Blanket  which I'm making for my grandson.

My progress so far :

I have crocheted the head, muzzle, nose, ears, neck and started on the arms.

When I had to decide which yarn to use, I decided it was time to try out acrylic, so I bought Jette from Hjertegarn.
I have always avoided using 100 % acrylic yarns, 'cause I don't like the feel of it, but this one is soft and there's a bonus : it's cheap!

I went with these colors (light blue as MC) :

What's on your hook/needles this W.I.P. ?
