Complete, IG (not), New Beginning

Stamp this project complete. Yes, I finally edged this personalized blanket. I hope Lil C likes it.

While I was working on the blanket, I decided I needed an instant gratification project. I chose this Sweetheart Poncho.

Well, so much for instant gratification. I ran out of yarn and needed to go to the store to get more but didn't feel like going. Maybe this weekend, I will go get it. Maybe.

This is where I left it. At the hood of the poncho. Can you believe it? Almost to the end and run out of yarn. SMH.

This is the edging the pattern calls for but I didn't like the way it looked like little triangles. They were supposed to be scallops. :(

So I decided to do a picot stitch instead. Yeah, I like this.

Over the weekend, I watched a Knit & Crochet Marathon. I know boring to most of the world but so exciting for me. ;) It was on for hours. Watching the show made me decide that it was time for a new beginning so I have taken the plunge. I am taking a knitting class at AC Moore on Feb. 6th. Of course I can't wait until then, so I paid Lionbrand.com a visit and had D print and bind the 60 pages of the Learn How to Knit book. Can't wait to get home to play. :P

Stay Crafty...

Almost There

I started this blanket a little before Christmas as an order for D's coworker. Normally, I do full names but he asked for initials so I did what he requested. The problem was the center part was so small. I didn't know what to do so, I did some quick math and decided to just surround the center part with granny squares. That wouldn't take too long right? Wrong. This was a great idea but who was sewing all of the squares together??? Have a mentioned that I hate sewing pieces together? Oh well, I had to finish the project for little CDC. So here it is, almost completed. All it's missing is a border, which I will work on tonight while watching tv or some girly movie...






Happy crafting.
