Woohoo I'm back in the crochet blog ring! I decided to get back in since I am posting semi regularly and it seems I have been focusing on crochet lately. So if anyone is wandering in from there: ~welcome~.

In other news, no exciting pictures to show of FO's or even UFO's as I've been busy and haven't taken any pictures. I started a large doily on Monday called Pineapple Sundae and am only a row and a half (and washing and blocking) from completing it, so maybe pictures soon. I have a smallish one (or two, if I don't rip it) that I will take pics of asap.

I am finding thread crochet surprisingly soothing lately. I hadn't done it in awhile, and altho the twisty thread can be a pain, it hasn't been too bad lately. First I started by buying a book of Christmas ornaments and whipping up about 13 of them. They all came from this book:



I used metallic thread and must say that they all worked up really quickly and pretty. I look forward to blocking them and seeing them finished - whenever I figure out how I want to starch them. Anyone have a favorite product for this? To make them really flat and stiff.

Yesterday I wandered out to buy Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, and ended up stopping in Michael's and picking up this:



I look forward to making every doily in this book! They're colorful and fun... and since I have random bits of colors and lots of white I have most of the supplies for all of them. Not til I finish the pineapple ones tho, as I am using green for them and will use the leftovers in these. Just hope I don't lose steam by then! :)

More later... happy Wednesday!
