*Sigh*

I know I know, I haven't posted in a bit, but it's not like anyone is reading this anyway. I've been working on a blanket for my friends baby, but it gets rather boring doing the same stitch over and over again, so I've been putting it down a few minutes after I pick it up. On a happier note, I love pineknott on Crochetville. She's awesome. She sent me two skeins and 21 little different balls of scrap yarn, mostly varigated, and I LOVE varigated yarn. I turned a little ball into a cell phone holder, because I absolutely love the colors, they're so deep and bright, I can't wait for it to stand out against my white purse. I always love to stand out in the most unnoticeable ways, I normally wear dark solid colors which will work well with the profession I plan to go into, but my underwear and socks are always bright colors, I'm cheery on the inside! Some of the balls she sent me went into my scrap blanket because they were long enough to make a row. This blanket will take me a long time, but I can't wait to see it when it's finished!

Finished!

I was attempting to create a hat using some scrap yarn, but decided to finish with only one piece of scrap yarn and make myself a headband of my own design. I rather like it, it's one of my favorite colors too. I used Caron Simply Soft Shadows in Dark Moss with a 'J' Hook.

Scrapping

I found a way to use up my scrap pieces of yarn.

Vintage Vertical Stripe Crocheted Blanket

That scrap blanket looks so cool, even with all the different colors. This will take some time but I'm looking forward to finally finishing it. I know what my treat will be for finishing it too, I'll go take a trip to the yarn section of either AC Moore, Michaels or JoAnns. I will not go to Walmart again though, they never have the colors I want and I hate that.

On another note, I have decided that I'm absolutely horrible at making hats, only because I have an awful time starting off something round. Maybe I'll make my own hat that I don't have to work too much into rounds. Just maybe.

One down

Well I finished a scarf today. I can't remember for the life of me where I got the pattern from, but I can remember the whole thing so it works for me. That's one project done so far.
