YEAH! You go friendo! I've just been painting a lot. I need more hardboard to cut for painting, and 1x2s for cradling it too, but we've had to buy stuff for the car so I am broke.

Any ideas for September?
I'm thinking September Scarves

I'm tired and lazy and no one's really been participating the last few months anyway, so I don't really feel like begging for theme suggestions. But if someone else wants to take over the monthly theme choosing process, that would be fine.

Hey, I made a flower! Attached to the most awesome hat ever! *checks back* oh, that was in May... nevermind ^^;

Pretty sure that was the last one I did, too.
Damies did do something for August's pool noodle theme, but it's mostly been just dead. And I'm just exhausted almost all the time right now, so I just don't feel like trying to pump people up about a monthly theme that, statistically, none of us will do anyway.

But if anyone wants to take over in running the theme picking, go for it.

I'll take over the theme picking then. Even though I statistically have done less than half of the monthly themes, I'm still determined to make them all.

But yeah, I can understand your point. It's way more rewarding to collect suggestions and play the cheerleader when people actually show their theme related works each month. Maybe after a few months I'm going to feel exhausted too, but for now... let's see.

Come one, come all - what do you want to craft this month?

One suggestion so far: Scarves! Would be just in time for the winter season, and shawls are allowed as well. Or if warm wrappings aren't your thing, a fashionable lace stole could be right up your alley.

24 hours before the suggested topic is locked in... unless any further suggestions arise, in which case there'll be a vote.

*tags out as theme host*
Scarves as a theme would give me the opportunity to hopefully finish some wips.

or September snakes maybe

I like the idea of shawls too. (Gods know I've got dozens of patterns now...)

Just finished a shawl this morning. If that ends up the theme, will it still count?
XD

It is September, thus: yep. Totally legit.

I have one wip (the loom knit triangular shawl you linked earlier in this thread), but I ran out of yarn and so far haven't been able to dig up a second skein of the very same. So for now it's just sitting there, occupying my largest loom. For September's theme I'd probably do a needle knitting scarf instead, because deep down inside I'm a yarn perfectionist who doesn't want to make the other triangle half a different color.

Technically it was about 96% made in August, so I'd probably try to make another one anyway...
And yeah, I'm actually having that same shawl issue. I have 2 unfinished currently, but I did gey the yarn for one of them not too long ago. Maybe I'll finish that one this month.

Yeah, the video gave a wonderful explanation, but the lady didn't mention how much yarn the shawl requires (or if she mentioned it in the description, I totally overlooked it). Since it was my very first time trying loom knitting, I figured I'd just try and see. Even if I eventually have to frog it and start again with different yarn, at least then I already know how it works.

Hm. Maybe I'll knit a scarf for Derpy XD

"Yeah! Scawf for me!"

...I guess that's another vote for the scarf theme ^^

Lol. New idea! Sept theme: Derpy scarves! Everyone just makes a scarf fpr Derpy!
XD

...and for those who aren't following me on Insta, the rainbow shawl! (I have a couple of better pics, but can't get them to upload currently.)
