My Progress so far!

I have been hard at work on my afghan. I am pretty darn determined to actually finish this one in a timely manner. I do also have a few holiday side projects going on as well. My mom just wrote her first pattern. I was so excited for her. I'm going to be helping her to get the pattern listed for sale. Once I have it set up I will include a link for everyone. I am going to be working on this 'ghan for the next few weeks, but I also want to work on a few side projects for the holidays. I just got in a nice big box of holiday yarn, and I am very excited to get it all worked up into holiday pretties for around the house!

Purple Hearts

Remember that bigger and better project? Well, here she is, kids. Man, this thing is so cool! I love that it looks like a normal ripple on one side and it has a million pretty purple hearts on the other. This isn't an easy pattern for me but it is so worth the effort. I had originally planned to give this away, but I might just have to keep it once it is done. I love it that much! Happy Crocheting!

Getting my Afghan on!

I've never been a 'ghan maker, but I have always wanted to be one. In the last 2 weeks I have been working on a couple. Nothing difficult just simple single crochet 'ghans that I can make while watching a movie. After make these I now realize that is like therapy! I love the way the yarn glides between my fingers. I can think about everything or nothing at all. AH! So refreshing! I was so excited that I had completed them I just had to post a picture! The large purple and white one is 40x54 and the smaller baby one is 25x26.5. The purple one is a half started one from when I first learned to crochet so it is kind of like a before and after afghan. Its kind of fun to look back on my little mistakes made in the beginning and see how far I have come.  After completing these 2 I have decided to take on a bigger and better project. I am going to make a Sweetheart Ripple. The Sweetheart Ripple can be found here. I love the look of it! After buying the pattern and figuring out the multiples it is written in I am going to make a toddler sized one! This weather is perfect for crochet. Its very rainy and dark out. Hope everyone else is having an amazing weekend too! 

3 day weekend! :)

I've been working a lot, and I have been too tired to crochet or craft. Crazy, right! I have a brilliant idea that I started working on last week. I wish I could sew better than I currently do. I used to take everything that needed to be sewn to my mom, but she now lives too far away! :( Its getting close to fall, not that the weather would have suggested this. Its been very hot and humid here. So hot that I'd rather sit inside with the shades drawn then have to step out into the suffocating heat! I'm not going to let it kill my holiday spirit. I have been browsing around for holiday crochet already. Its getting so close, and I need enough time to whip out a few things before time runs out. I still have and impossible number of hats to make before Christmas. I'm trying to make enough so that my donation to the charity I chose really counts. I know any thing helps but more is always better! I'm going to enjoy my 3 day weekend and make a few things! Happy hookn!
