Wool Eater grows....Patriotic afghan

My Wool eater is growing! I am off to Hobby Lobby Saturday with my Daughter in Law to get some more colors. It is taking a lot longer on each row now. Started on a patriotic afghan I have had for a while. After finishing Betsy..I was bummed out that she came out so small. I actually restarted it several times and tried to contact the author of the pattern to no avail. I would have liked it larger but then again its a nice decoration. Pammy Sue and I have talked back and forth about what we would need to do to make it larger. I love Patriotic stuff and have a ton of it. Flags, Longaberger inaugural baskets etc. This book is one of my favorites. I have made many projects in it and use it again and again. The cover is dog eared because of it. This baby afghan..Heartwarming wrap is darling! Have a wonderful day. Chow

Betsy..An American Flag

Meet Betsy...I love her. She is a pattern you can purchase on Ravelry. Some side notes. The star/flowers took longer than the actual throw. They took twice as long and did them three times. Being a perfectionist. I needed them to line up exactly. Did them once cut them off and did again. The red and white going to the blue you must cut every row and weave in also a bugger. If you dont colors blend and it looks bad. Did it once and ripped out all the way back to beginning. But end results are great and I am loving it. I will take more pics later on my way to work. I am thinking next time in a cotton yarn as a table runner? I can see her decorating someones front porch for the fourth! Chow!

Round Ripple

I finished this round ripple this afternoon. I was determined I dont like WIP around. I purchased this kit from Mary Maxim I believe. Some thoughts about it are..Its wool, and soy..Soft so very soft but each skein was so small you were starting another before row was over. Tons and I mean tons of ends to weave in. The finished product is beautiful. But would probably not do again.

Saturday

Thursday Stuff...

Almost Friday! I found this yummy yarn at a lys...I am thinking crochet clap? I dont know it will hit me when I decide. Some more progress on my Wooleater. It now takes an entire skein per row. I had to go buy more yarn. I was not going to but trying to stay within a theme of colors. I am so enjoying this process of this blanket. I do two rows then weave in so no ends to weave in when complete. I am using the color selection method explained HERE I used method number #1. I wake up around four...nuts I know. I just wake up that early being doing it a long time. Anywho, I have been trying to get some of this done then while drinking my coffee. Lets face it you have to find "me time" when you can. Reading this book! Wow so very good hard to put down. Love going to the Library dont you? Can you believe it's almost May? May 13, will be my 5 years of blogging. I looked back on how I have evolved since the first post. Very funny. I did share more personal stuff then, than I do now. Chow peeps!

Wool eater continues....

Im addicted. I cannot crochet fast enough! Having fun with the wool eater and it is a wool eater. almost an entire skein of Vanna's yarn on last row...Yea I know.. Im going to need a skein in a half on next row I can feel it. I am def using my stash! Been so busy. Working on another quilt. Will show pics soon! I dont know about you but having issues with blogger I cannot see my tool bar I know its there but its just peeking above, dont know what the deal its.. Also been working on changing my header for MONTHS and I cannot seem to make it work out. I have been to site after site..First one says change you size of your pics the other one says change the pixels on your screen..UGGG I gave up. Why is it so hard. I went to picassa and then some othe site that is in partnership with picassa...I just quit I was soo frustrated hours I spent. I would love any advice you have to give. PS why why why wont blogger let me space or separate my paragraphs???

Easter Weekend...

Enjoying my Easter Weekend..Working on a wool eater blanket. I just love this pattern. I am a big fan of treble crochet its like double crochets taller elegant sister. I'm using my beloved hook from my Grandmother. Still my favorite hook. I fell in love with this bench cover by Sandy from Teacup Lane. Thought I would give it a go. I recently aquired two new pattern leaflets. I purchased the knit one from Joann's with my 40 off coupon and the other crochet one got at a thrift shop for a quarter! Score! Have a wonderful Easter weekend. Getting ready to hide eggs for my precious grandchildren!
