Update on Temp Blanket

So... you guys get to know a bit more about me and my habits!

I like to start things. Therefore, I am a starter (*giggles*). I am not, however, a finisher. I have at least ten projects that I've started and have either lallygagged on or abandoned. Usually what happens is that I would start and midway, I'll get that "nope" feeling and unravel.

This temperature blanket was no exception to my rule.

Sooo, forget the last two posts... kind of. If I was an experienced crocheter, making the motifs would be the easiest way to do this. But, I'm not; I barely know how to sew. I had done 24 motifs and sown them together only to come up with dilemma after dilemma. I made the decision that it would be better to stay somewhat traditional with rows.

I found a cute pattern to go by and of course, this makes it a bit tougher on me. However, the pattern is simple enough. If I stop procrastinating and work on the blanket for about a few hours non-stop, I could possibly catch up.

Oh, yeah! Remember when I said that I would possibly change my mind and do a high and low? I did just that. With the motifs, it made it more even and possible to do a row of 12 motifs without adding the extra to make it an actual square/rectangle.

This is the link to the new pattern! After I finish with January, I will post a picture to show you my progress! I am hoping that gives me enough motivation to play catch up and then you guys will get a pic of the blanket once a month! Just a fair warning: this will be an ugly duckling blanket!

The color assignment is the same from the last two posts: Major Project and Temperature Blanket.]

Happy Crocheting, Everyone!

Ear Bud Covers

  Easy Listening Ear Bud Covers Found In :  https://www.allfreecrochet.com/Organization/Easy-Listening-Ear-Bud-Covers Hook(s) Used : D/3/3.125 mm (Boye) For : Self Started : .... ?? Finished : March 19, 2015 Yarns Used: Caron Simply Soft Party- Purple Sparkle So, here's the thing. I was going through my Ravelry account and using that as a reference as far as these posts. The problem is that I have other projects that I've completed not on Ravelry, and the only pictures of said projects are on Deviant Art. This is one of them. I'm certain that this pattern didn't take me long at all and possibly started it the same day I finished. Also, I'm not so sure about the size of the hook that I used. Remember that horrible party yarn? Yeah, I had a lot left over and decided to try to use it up. This picture is trash so you can't really see the sparkle. Maybe a little. Regardless, this simple project gave me fits because of the yarn, alone. I provided a link but be warne...

Super Mario Mushroom

 (I'm only bombarding with posts because I know that it will be another three months before I remember I have a craft blog...) Mario Brothers Mushrooms Found In :  http://wolfdreamer-oth.blogspot.com/2009/05/mario-brothers-mushrooms.html Hook(s) Used : G/6/4 mm (Susan Bates) For : Whoever Started : April 15, 2015 Finished : April 15, 2015 Yarns Used: RHSS- White RHSS- Cherry Red RHSS- Black My first amigurumi and I didn't do too well on it. Nevertheless, there you have it: a Super Mario Bros mushroom! My next post will be a small tip about amigurumis so look out for that one. You don't need that much black, only enough for the eyes. And because I can't sew to save my life, my white "circles" came out horribly. When I posted this on Deviant Art, a buddy challenged me to make even more and have a little army of these guys! I should make that one of my New Year's resolutions... This mushroom was kidnapped by the youngest niece so there's no telling where ...

Memphis State Slouchy

 Not even gonna apologize for the bombardment... Diagonal Shell Slouch Beanie Found In :  https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/diagonal-shell-slouch-beanie Hook Used : K/6.5mm For : Self Started : Feb 12, 2015 Finished : Feb 12, 2015 Yarns Used : Red Heart Super Saver- Royal RHSS- White RHSS- Heather Gray Unfortunately, this pattern is no longer available digitally. I can't remember exactly where I found this pattern and I've gone through all of the patterns I've saved on my computer and crochet bookmarks. I can tell you that it was finished in an hour, maybe two so it was at the time, the easiest hat pattern I had worked. The problem is that back then, I had no idea how slouchy hats worked and stuffed all of my dreads inside of the hat. I complained that there wasn't much slouch and now: duh, Jay- you wore it absolutely the wrong way! To be fair, that makes me not a slouch hat fan and I prefer regular beanies. Anywho. Happy Hooking and Stay Safe!
