WIP Wednesday

I discovered this concept while blog-browsing and thought it was a good idea to keep me up to date with my blogging.

It's terrible - I have 4 projects on-the-go at the moment and they're all a little neglected.

Firstly:
Beau by Kim Hargreaves
I've done the back so onto the front now but the rib takes FOREVER as I have to keep changing stitch after every 2 stitches.

Secondly:
Checkerboard Placemats by Lily / Sugar'n Cream

I'm technically not using the pattern as I didn't like the way it was executed.

As you can see I haven't done that much - another 4 of what I've done and then the edging.

Next:

Robert Banner - Alphabet by Melody Griffiths

Only 1 letter made so far - damn him for being named 'Robert' and not just 'R'.

And Finally:

Free: Stash Buster Camera Cozy by Shweta Shankar Khatri

This is because I love my new camera so much and don't want it getting hurt

It looks pretty good but the colours don't really show up here - I went for lots of different blues and a grey to provide a contrast with the red camera.

Also - *mini rant alert*

How come you can't buy a newspaper at a newsagents?

Or was it naive of me to try?

I decided I'd buy it from one of the local shops rather than the university guild or a supermarket so I tried two different newsagents today and one didn't sell newspapers at all and the other only sold one type of newspaper.  Most disappointed!
