Afghan Stitch!

 

Today I received a package which I had completely forgot that I ordered. About a month ago my best friend's mom Mrs. Pat (who is like a second mother to me) gave me some crochet books. One of them was to make afghans using the afghan stitch. Well in order to do afghan stitch you need to have a special hook. I looked on Amazon and found these.



 I liked how long they were and they were a good price so I ordered them. I didn't realize they were coming from Hong Kong! ha ha. They took a month to get here which is why I had forgotten about them completely. Once my finals are finished with I am going to pick an afghan stitch pattern and get to work. I'm so excited! Thank you Mrs. Pat for the books! =D

Finals, cats, family, chores, the list goes on and on...

Finals have been stressing me out quite a bit the past few days, but I am managing better now. Only about two more weeks and then this semester ends; YAY! That is the main reason for my lack of crochet time. Although, there is another reason now. I have taken on a family of stray kitties. The mother cat had four kittens under a car at my husbands work Thursday night, so we decided to take care of them as fosters. They have taken quite a bit more time than I expected because we were concerned about the mom not eating. She is doing better now and things are cooling down. Hopefully this week I will get some times to relax and work on crochet.

Finals are consuming my life!

This last month of winter semester is driving me bananas! Studying nearly 24/7. My eyes and head hurt. My brain hurts. My back hurts. I can't think anymore. I can barely write this post.

The point is, I haven't had time to crochet... =(

Small Project

I pulled out my extra yarn that I have to play with last night, and started making a granny square. I figured out a way to make it a rectangle so that I can make it into a table runner. It worked great, so now I am adding detail to it. I'll post some pictures when it's done. :)

What to do next...

One of the hardest things I am finding with crochet, is choosing a project. Since I am just starting off there is so many types of projects I want to explore. When I think of my options they are endless. I wish I could work on 8 different project all at the same time haha! Since I finished Joshua's bunny pillow, I am trying to decide what I should work on next. I am going to Alabama soon so it would be great if I could bring presents to my family up there. However, I don't have enough time to make them all something unless I do small projects. I could also just choose one person to give a bigger project to, but then I have to leave out the others for now. Decisions, decisions... I did start another shawl which was going to be for me, but I think I will put that on hold for now.

I'll let you know when I have decided!
