Wool Eater Done!

Wool  Eater finally done...I call it the blanket of pain. I started this during a really rough time in my life in order to try and focus on something other than the pain.   I love the process, great pattern. This baby is huge and heavy.  Sorry for all the dark pictures its been raining nonstop for a week or so.  I love it did not measure yet wanted to take pics outside on the grass, maybe soon. This blanket was made of scraps mostly Vanna's yarn some others. I went with the theory what color looks good next. No rhyme or reason ! TGIF!

PS.  Blogger is not my friend.  I canot post like usual!  I dont know why the writing is in the middle..UGGG

Random Stuff and a WIP

 Real Random stuff.  First of all the top picture is what I saw on Pinterest.  My last post is what I purchased to copy it.  Then walking through Joanns I saw the exact same jewelry holder and POW I have the same one! I still like hers better but It will work. Showing how I display on my fridge. Why my pictures loaded up so crazy I dont know they are not in any particular order. Thanks Blogger!

Feeling scattered these days.  The heat is getting to me. I remember in the snow rushing to get in from the cold. Now I rush to get into the cold from the heat!.
I started another Stack and Whack quilt.  The fabric is kissing booth.  I love it.
I am not a WIP person.. I start a project and then finish it. I dont like things hanging around.  But I  actually have a few crochet projects floating around. I feel unfinished and scattered. I know I have issues.  Anyway this ripple is actually left over yarns all sorts! I am just changing colors as I feel, no rhyme or reason! I never do that I always have to have a plan. I feel like such a rebel!
  I use Susan B from Kansas,   I love it, it is my go to ripple. I have been using this pattern for years.  It comes out a great size and she gives options.
Have a great weekend..

Quilt finish!

Finished quilt, fabric is Ticklish by Moda...Love it.

My Ross/TJ Maxx finds

I really need to stay off Pinterest. Now I have the app for my phone its addicting.  These are my two finds from TJ Maxx.  I paid 6.99 each.  The dishcloth display I saw on Pinterest. I like hers better and will still search but this is ok for now.  I have this displayed on top of my fridge!  Yes I made most of the potholders although I would never actually use them. Some are from garage sales.

Saturday Snippets

Happy Saturday! I cannot believe how the weeks fly by and its the end of July almost!  After my flag afghan I decided to do something mindless and easy my old standby pattern sideways shell, with some clearance yarn from Joann's I purchased a Ton of it for 1.99.  I love the way the yarn pools. I try to make my baby afghans with little or no holes, so babies toes and fingers dont go through.  I purchased a new Japanese crochet book from Etsy. I love it! You have to be able to read charts obviously.   

Gorgeous yarn I picked up from Tuesday morning for 3 dollars a skein..Im thinking a knit hat this winter. 

Working on a quilt also try to complete a block or two before work each day.  Its the dog days of summer here, it is so brutally hot your wet and nasty as soon as you leave the house to get to your car.  Its misery. Thank god for AC I barely leave the house this time of year except to go to work and store! Hope you enjoy your Saturday.

Happy Fourth and a afghan reveal!

Happy Fourth.. busy time of year. I started this blanket on our Mini vacation over the Memorial day weekend. Finished this morning.  I followed pattern from leisure arts web site.  Exact yarn and amounts.  I am glad its done.  I am over it.   I am not good at showing progression of a project, like others are.  I put myself under a deadline.  Just a personal goal..Not the greatest of ideas.  I hooked before work and a few rows after work since the Memorial day weekend.  Its actually amazing I get anything done. Chow!

Some Hooky Business

See this lovely blanket pattern... I saw it and had to buy this pattern. It was in my shopping cart Etsy.  I tried to pay and something went wrong. I contacted seller and she said I will no longer sell this pattern.  I did not ask why, but was very disappointed, I mean it was for sale?  So I copied this pictures and sat down with my hook and was able to replicate with no pattern. I of course would not try to sell or distribute. But I buy patterns to support designers. I myself used to write patterns its a major pain in the you know what.
  Its writing re writing..hooking, pulling out. I love it and was very sorry not to be able to purchase to support this girl. Have a great day.
