Yeesh!

I've done it already! It's been too long between posts, MUST ... TRY ... HARDER! Life caught up with me is all. Still trying to get the 2nd HK blanket ... started, and finished. I've given up on the arm warmers for the time being at least until the blanket is done. I've slowed down on the hooking due to some personal emotional issues - i can't concentrate enough to pick it up at nights, i just want to relax. Then it's the weekend and i'm either busy chasing kids around or too worn out to think about it.

So, again, MUST TRY HARDER!

Quiet Sunday

Ok, I've unraveled the black arm warmer and I'm looking forward to starting over - this time in both loops.

I've decided to quit dreading this HK blanket and just get started with it. Granny squares I actually find quite enjoyable to make - however these "squares" are actually more rectangular then trying to fit all the squares into a blanket type formation is a little more irritating than I had first imagined.

Regardless, I have to get it going... so here goes nothing!

Crochet Updates

I promised info on my crochet projects. Well, I'm having a bit of a hooker's block I suppose. (Like writer's block, but for crocheters...) I have quite a few items that I'd love to get done, but it's pretty difficult to find a lot of time right now. I want to make cabled armwarmers and thought I was finally almost done with the first one. That was until I decided i wanted to try them working with both loops rather than the back loop only. *sigh* time too unravel it -  again!

Another project is one my mom has comissioned me to do, another HK blanket (pictures will be added later & can be found on my Facebook page). Ugh! The first one was so fiddly that I don't think I'll enjoy making the 2nd one, but we'll see. I have some slight modifications in mind that may make it better.

Then as always, there's:
* Sack-Boy for a co-worker
* Monster Hat for my DLB
* Repair Unicorn hat for my DLG
* Re-do on a Dr. Who Weeping Angel
* Cabled cover for my awesome Asus Eee Slider Tablet
* Dr. Who's Rose Tyler's arm warmers from the Doomsday episode
Not to mention TONS of other projects that I have just waiting for yarn manifestation!

So, wish me luck & I'll update again soon...
