I Kinda Lied...

Well, "lied" is such a terrible word. Especially because it wasn't my intentions.

I think I've mentioned once before that I am a procrastinator. Another one of my horrible flaws is that I love to start projects but never finish them. In these past two cases, I'll even frog projects altogether. This happens when I hit a major snag and since I have to frog a row or three to get to the problem, might as well cancel the whole thing!

That's just the way I think on a lot of these crocheting projects of mine.

My last post, I told you that I ditched my year project of the temperature blanket and started on a Sophie's Universe one for my grandmother. Somehow, I must've skipped a few steps because it started to come out very wrong, particularly towards the part where the mandala was to be squared. I frogged the rows several times to the point where it looked as though it would not be finished on time for my grandmother. Instead, I worked on the Super Cool Hexagon Throw. I started on November 4th and finished it on November 19th. I missed sending it out for her birthday but it's in the mail as we speak :D

Dog not included...
I honestly believe that makes ten projects I've completed so yay, me!

I am currently working on three blankets, one that needs to be done by this weekend. So, this post is gonna be jammed pack with crocheting tidbits!

I owe my mother a blanket. I've tried and tried for the past... three years? But that frogging thing always happened. I've started on a Crossword Lovers Throw for her because she absolutely loves crossword puzzle books (not the ones with the crosswords only but the ones with all the other puzzles included as well).

The second one is a baby blanket for a friend of mine who just recently found out that he's a father. He's going to visit his son next weekend and asked if I could crochet a blanket for him. I agreed. Pictures will be added/edited in; I thought that I took one with my phone but it was for Messenger only...

The last one is the second reason for this post. I'm working on a semi-big project because I became inspired by a woman on Deviant Art. She has taken on the task of crocheting a Pokemon blanket and it looks absolutely stunning! After searching, I made my decision and have started on a graph project.

It's A Mystery!!

That was taken after ten rows. I want to go ahead and put this out in the open right now: letters are a bitch. I'm to the point where the lettering is complete; it doesn't look right to me but the husband said it does: it is readable. Since it's going to be my blanket, I'll just roll with it.

So! Seeing that it's a mystery, everything will be revealed in the next post! By then, I would have completed another ten rows and you guys will know what I'm working on, for the most part. Stay tuned, folks! :D

  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!
