TGIF!
Fridays are the Monday of the crafting weekend. :) And this Monday is goooood….
Well, I have been pretty busy lately with some projects that needed to be done asap. Hence, the lack of blogging. Well, that is the excuse I am going with, anyways! I had to make a little one skein extra to go with the afghan I finished in the Make-A-Long. I should show you a picture, or tell you what it is, but it is going to be a surprise! :D
I am also working on two scarves for my brother’s friends. A momma scarf and a baby scarf! I have never made a tiny scarf before, so I hope it turns out well. :) I had the pleasure of being able to use enemyairship’s Piranha Plant Scarf pattern while it was still posted. As these are gifts, I decided to make them again by memory (barely). This is something that I am not entirely sure on, the dos and don’ts of using people’s patterns…. I hope it is something that I don’t cross the line on. :(
Other than that, I have another project that squeaked into the line up as well. I am fortunate enough to be able to give a go on Purplej3nn’s new scarf pattern! I have seen the photo and I like! :D I can’t say I have seen many (if any) scarves out there that look like this one and I hope that I will be able to give her some valuable feedback. I have recently (very roughly) written up my own first pattern and I know that once I get it all written up properly, I would love to have people test it out before I make it public. But, that is another task that is slowly becoming lower and lower on the crafting totem pole… Next up is Purplej3nn’s scarf and the wedding cross stitch! I honestly don’t know how I will get that finished and framed and sent before the wedding. :S There will be a few all nighters, that is a promise!
I must admit, I made and pretty damn good latte this morning. I am getting better at using my espresso machine and making consistant lattes. Occasionally I have one that is too sweet or too strong, but I am getting better. :)
As I asked on Twitter, has anyone ever used the ergonomic crochet hooks from Lion Brand? I am very intrigued and really want to try them, but the price (after shipping to Canada) and the very spaced out selection of needles makes me wonder… Have you tried them? What are your thoughts?
