Lots of crocheting
I'm turning into a weekly blogger lately..just never have the umpfh to use any brainpower writing in the evenings..I'm sure as soon as it's nicer out and I hear the geese flying overhead I'll know for sure then that Spring isn't a figment of my imagination, it is actually real. On the bright side, two people at work said they heard geese flying on the weekend!! ?I have been busily crocheting lots though. I hit my goal on working on doggie/kitty blankies for shelter animals last week, so finished another 10 of those up. I used some preemie blankie patterns d/l off the net.
Beth's Star Afghan – very easy pattern to follow and very enjoyable to work on.
A preemie size ripple – perfect size for shelter animals
I love making ripple afghans.
I made a little wrist bag on the weekend too. It's made of Lily Sugar Babie's cotton with a 5.00 mm hook, and the flower is made of a scrap of shiny yarn. It turned out pretty cute. The pattern was graciously shared by Crochetdiva from Crochetville. It's such a cute little bag, perfect for a casual evening/going out bag where ya don't have to carry every thing that you own (like I usually do, haha)
I've also started the Lionbrand "M" poncho but ran out of yarn so will pick up a skein on the way home tonite, as well as started another cape/poncho off the Lionbrand site which is made out of Homespun that I had in my stash from when it was on sale. It's $8 regular price here in Canada which is too much I think, for stash-adding at least. Those are my WIP's for the week that I'll be working on.
Oh, I made my first mile-a-minute babysize afghan too, I'm adding that to the snuggle project donations. I have to do a count on my snuggle blankie blankets I've made but I think I'm over 250 blankets in the past year!! Isn't that awesome!! Man it feels good knowing there's 250+ animals out there that were made just a tiny bit more comfortable in their kennels while waiting to be adopted.
