Not blogging yarn again yet. We are still in a huge transition from New Jersey to New York. I will be soon though, I hope, so please don’t forget about me!

The Plastic Bag Rehabilitation Program

Sun T. — Wed, 21 May 2008 20:27:13 +0000

Welcome to my first post about my Plastic Bag Rehabilitation Program. I am getting plastic bags from all over the place and giving them a new home in a useful, green way. I am going to be posting more about this on a subdomain of this site shortly. I have to capture more bags in their natural habitats on film, first.

MILs Surprise

Sun T. — Fri, 22 Feb 2008 14:40:19 +0000

My mother in law was admiring my blanket so I thought I would make her one of her own. Its colors are brighter and more jewel toned than the ones in my blanket, but I think that is better to keep her mood cheery as she battles Rheumatic fever and the unknown illness that ails her. This is made of 3 different colors of Red Heart. I have a few ideas on how this will grow out from the center, I can hardly wait to put them all into play. This is done with an I sized hook. The center is a motif I got from The Crochet Stitch Bible. It shouldn’t take me too long to make. I plan to give it to her as soon as it’s done. I don’t believe in waiting to give presents, especially if a person is ill. My grandmother said “Don’t give me flowers when I am dead. Give them to me now so I can enjoy them.” I live by that.

Rain Cloud Shrug & new project

The Rain Cloud Shrug is done

I started a new project with 2 different textured yarns and crochet. It’s done with a large crochet hook on both textures. It will end up being a shawl or capelet type thing when I am done:

Vestilence & Navy Blues

Sun T. — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 14:52:53 +0000

My newest project on the needles is this. It may have to wait to get finished as I only have one skein of the yarn I am using and I need to get at least 2 more. I wasn’t going to use this yarn for the project, but it works out better than the yarn I was going to use. I found another pattern I want to do with the other yarn:

This one is a crochet project. I will be using brushed acrylic in Navy Blue for that (as far as I know right now).

I found a yarn store 22 minutes from here in Delaware. I want to go there and feel up some more yarns soon. I hope I can either talk the Man into taking me or keeping his son with him so I can go alone and revel in the glory of fiber without being rushed.

Christmas Project: Poinsettia

Sun T. — Sat, 22 Dec 2007 16:00:35 +0000

poinsettia

I was inspired, so I started this last night. I still have to add a leaf to the other side in green, cinch it all together with yellow french knots in the middle, but other than that it looks pretty good. What do you all think? It’s my own personal design. Silly me didn’t write down the directions on how to make it yet.

Blanket Therapy revealed

Sun T. — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 23:44:52 +0000

Blanket Therapy

So this is the super secret project I was working on as a present for my therapist. You should have seen the look on her face. She was so happy to get this. I was happy to make it for her. I hope that she uses it for a long time. She said that she is going to get some pillows to match it for her couch in the office

Blanket Therapy finished!

Sun T. — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 00:25:40 +0000

Last night I finished Blanket Therapy. I can’t show you the picture until I give the present away, but it’s gorgeous. Anyone on Ravelry can see it, though, as I have posted it there. Being a closed community that I know this person is not a member of, I thought it fitting to share there

I also finished a headband *knitted* and am now working on something else. I got the wrong color blue to finish what I started in another project. Don’t you hate getting to the last row and a half thinking you will make it and then *poof* all your yarn is gone? UGH. I am still going to use the blue I bought, just not for that.
