Variety is the spice of life

Yesterday it was my RICO pompon throw today it is a waste not want not day. I have a bit of Aran I am trying to make into a baby blanket and I am thinking so far so good. Another few hours of crochet should see it grow more

End of year fever continued..

Now I have pulled out my rico pompon throw which is taking forever but it has a ways to go. When it is finished, it will be the best thing since sliced bread... The question is was was the best thing before sliced breAd?

End of year fever

It is a long time since I blogged not because a I have gone off crochet more because I seem to be busy all the time now. My cousin is still unwell in hospital and I have not had the chance to go visit him - I am hoping for improvement when I see him on Monday. In the mean time I have had what I call end of year fever!! I seem to have the urge to complete all my current WIPs. As a result I have completed 3 scarves which have been waiting for completion since last year. I won't waste time on words I will show you. Oh yes I am also trying to see how far I can get with the Krista blanket so I have include squares 5 and 6. Tomorrow it will be square 7-10 if I get the vava voom :)D

Do you ever...

Make something that you know looks ok but it does not convince you of it's beauty? Well I am currently completing one of my 15 WIPs and it is so uninspiring I don't know what to do. It is like climbing a very steep hill in a land that lacks life or beauty. I know it will be loved by the person who wanted it but it is a big struggle for me to fall in love with it. Check out the pics below and make up your own minds

Healing blanket

It grows. 10 more rows and it will be done. It will be ready for him by Monday.

Healing blanket update

The blanket grows and with it my hope which I am trying to infuse into it. What is heartening is that as I sit here waiting for my little one to finish with her Christmas Fair, I have had a few men commenting on how beautiful the throw is. Since it is meant for a man it means the colors are right :)D the exhausting part is the constant positive thinking I have to maintain as I make it. This morning I actually woke up with a hang over!!! Not because I had alcohol but from the constant focus I have to maintain. But hopefully it willbe worth it.
