It is almost impossible to put myself in crochet timeout! I hate having more than one project going at a time. I usually have to be strategic in whatever I choose to make because I tend to get bored. Thats why the Stitch Sampler is perfect, until the end that it is due to the rows being so long.
I do not know whether I should start with the newest project started or the one I just finished. Okay, okay, okay the one I finished first wins! I started my Granny Ripple (project #1) I believe back in April. I have struggled with it as I got very bored. I pushed and pushed to get it done. So last week I finished the body of the blanket and then busted out the border yesterday. Yay shes done and shes the first completed Christmas present!!!
I also started an Infinity Scarf for myself about two weeks ago. I ran out of yarn and just picked up some more the other day. I am using RedHearts Boutique Treasure color:Abstract Lot: 68000
I am loving this! I am even more excited to wear something I made. I will not give it away or sell it, I do not care how much someone else loves or likes it. I will not do it this time!
I am also working on something for my swap partner. I am out of yarn at the moment, so it is at a stand still until I make it to the store. I am sure that some of you can feel my pain! I have three stores I could get yarn from. A.C. Moore (it seems to be my favorite and closest), Michaels ( I do not live super close to one anymore) and Wal-Mart( I would rather die). A.C. Moore has the RedHeart Soft that I am using for my Swap, but does not have the Boutique Treasure...GRRRR!

The newest project and the third(#3) Christmas present I started yesterday! I know its only July, but I wanna make sure I get the four items that I want done are completed.
If you noticed I said third. The second project I started, I liked it in the beginning. Twice now I have come up with another way to work with what I have and to give it to its intended new owner. I have yet to play with it and work on it. I did come up with another idea this morning and I will see what I can do. Project #3 will be done before #2. I still have no idea what I will be doing for #4. 
i love your colors... great choice.. hugz

You are so right, but I try not to. I like the feeling of completing something!
DeleteThe Granny Stripe looks gorgeous..... as you say I love the look of them but prefer to have a bit more of a challenge...rippling had some movement to it! I can't find a connect box to follow your blog, you're such a friendly face on Rav, I'd follow..added you to my blog roll :) Fiona xx
ReplyDeleteHello Fiona! I am so glad to have you here. If you have not found my join icon, it is in the upper right hand corner! The Granny Stripe was rather monotonous at times. I cannot wait to finish my ripple and get to my other blanket that I started from Drops. Perhaps after the four Christmas afghans are done! Looking forward to seeing you around here!
