A Finished Project November 20, 2007

I decided to crochet a couple of scarfs for some family members for Christmas.  These are the first ones I have ever made and I am very pleased with how they turned out.

It took me a while to figure out how thick to make them at first, but once I figured that out it only took me about an hour per scarf.

I know some of you are probably thinking, “What happened to the blanket she started making in September?” Well I have not given up on it, I just wanted to get these done first… plus I had to buy more yarn for the blanket before I could move on… which I have done, so you will see an update on that later :o) 

New Project Update October 8, 2007

Do I love control or I’m I just a woman of order?

I couldn’t handle not having a full plan for my blankie project, so I made a chart on my computer.     

It helps me know how many rows I will have total, how many rows will be light purple, how many will be dark, where my rows are and how much yarn I will need. 

I am currently completing row 32 and have run out of yarn, but now that I know how much I need of each color and have more peace about purchasing.   

Take a look at my progress… I am hoping to have this done for my daughter for Christmas…. I especially want it done before my baby is born, because I don’t want to get too overwhelmed to finish it. 

A New Project for Me September 24, 2007

Take a look at what I started last week…

…it’s going to be a twin sized blankie for my dear daughter. I am crocheting it with my own directions because the last time I used a pattern with this stitch it went vertical and I totally messed up on it! That was with the blanket I made for my husband that he totally loves with ALL it’s flaws. So now I’m adapting those directions to make the pattern horizontal.

My daughter says, “Oh mommy are you making me a blankie? Oh I like it!” ;o)
