Update again

Well I have passed the zigs and zags of this crazy afghan that I am working on! Please don't judge too harshly, I know it's not so perfect but it's the best that I can figure out! Here's the pictures so far:

Well they would be here except Blogger is having an issue this minute!

Anyhoo, I think I have it figured out for the pattern because the graph is only 1/4 of the finished pattern! I copied the graph and blew it up and cut and taped it all together! Hopefully that will work out because the way the pattern was going it was looking all weird! I will try again with the pictures tomorrow and will have more progress on it anyway because I'm working on it constantly lately. I really need to get this done. No reason I just feel the need! Crazy!

Today's afghan update!

Ok I was going to call this the afghan from hell but I'm not sure if that fits! It is a challenge, but from hell? I ripped out the rows that I had done yesterday because they were so not right and went in search of the right way and found this site saved in my favorites! Thank goodness for favorites! So I ripped it and redid and low and behold, it worked! I have moved it along nicely! There are a lot of changing and yarn hanging all over the place but hopefully it will be well received! That's my boring update for today, I will have pictures tomorrow!

Ok I'm whipping them out!

I have decided that just working on one project is not quite enough so I've taken on 3 since last week! I am working on Brandon's squares:
Here's one of 18 for the blue and I have the 2 white ones done already. I need to get some more Simply Soft Black yarn to get it finished!

This is a purse that I made for my Cousin who has been bugging me (love you sara!) for her very own little felted bag! This yarn I LOVE, it's one that I dyed myself with Kool-aid, but instead of the bath method I hand "painted" it and I think it came out so pretty that I really wanted to keep it for myself, but I will pass it along to Sara! I just have to felt it.
Felting will commence this week sometime and maybe she will get to use it!

And now to the craziest project I do believe I have taken on:
I have never done any kind of graph crocheting before and I think there is a possibility that this could send me over the edge! I don;t know if I can even accomplish this feat! I have already ripped out rows (where the color changes start) and think I have to yet again! I don't know how this will turn out but it is a gift so I can't make it sloppy and being a perfectionist will be a problem on this blanket! Here's what I have so far:


Now those do not look like pretty color changes! GRRRR!!! Ok onward, must not let it win! This is the ultimate in true love!

Yet Again MIA

I wish I could say I've been whipping out a crazy amount of projects, but the truth is I have been working only on Brandon's blanket and even that not as much as I should! I live in the San Fernando Valley and am in a constant state of HOT!!! I don't even pick up any yarn until the sun goes down! It's just too dang hot! I do have a few squares completed (6 out of 20) so I am making some progress, but I really wanted to be done by the 14th because I am going up to visit him and wanted to bring it to him. I haven't taken any pictures of it yet so I can do that and at least keep updated my progress on the blanket if nothing else. My cousin wants a felted purse so I will be whipping one of those out for her as well! If guess if I put my mind to it I could be busy!
School is back in session, so we will be settling into that routine pretty soon as well!
That's all I've got for now!

MoMo 3!

Again I have made another MoMo this one is for my lovely daughter!
I used TLC Baby in Fizzy Print. I used 2 strands together for this guy because the patterns calls for Jiffy yarn and I was used baby weight. I think it came out well and my Daughter loves him!

Now before doing any other animals I will be finishing the baby blanket for my brother and his wife and finishing Brandon's blanket! I have a long list of projects for other people right now so I need to get on it!
I have been a little bit distracted of late so I really need to buckle down! I need to finish the baby blanket first though because that is done with a pattern and I have to concentrate with that one. All of the other blankets I just whip them out without thinking! This is what boys do to you!

Long time no blog!

Ok I swear I am crocheting, just not as much as I usually do. The weather, the kids, the vacations, just life in general! Busy, busy, busy! Anyway I did do another MoMo for my sister as she liked the one I made for Danielle and wanted her own. Here he is in his unfinished mode:

And completed:

I ran out of the Turquoise yarn that I started with so I compromised and found some other turquoise yarn. I was trying to use what I have on hand (a lot of different yarns apparently!) and this is what happens! Oh well, my sister loved him anyway!
I have another one started for my Daughter and will post those pictures this week as well!

He's Done!

MoMo is complete!

This picture shows his colors much better! I used 3 skiens of Jiffy yarn in Kitty Hawk. The pattern called for 2 but as I said in my last post he's turned out WAY bigger then he was supposed to! But I love him!! I hope Danielle likes him too! My kids love him and my daughter now wants one too. I guess I'll be working on another this weekend!
I will also buckle down and work on Brandon's blanket as well.
That's it for me!
