Not the best pic, but here is a scarf I recently finished:



I used 2 balls of Moda Dea Fresh to make this. It took me awhile to find a stitch where the yarn would look decent. I liked the way it turned out, but don't think I'd make this again. I have 2 more balls of this and am not sure if I am going to whip up another scarf or use it in conjunction with other yarns to make something more interesting... leaning towards the latter at the moment.

Easy crocheted pattern, but I still wrote it up so I'd have the right number of stitches and somesuch, in case I decide to make another. Shoot an email to tifffany(at)gmail(dot)com if you want it.

So, I lied. I tend to do that when there are no repercussions to my action. But it's in a good way. That means I did actually take pics of the 2 other furry scarves I made. See:



I used the same colors of Cha Cha as on the other two, but with black Homespun instead of the Ranch color. Makes quite a difference, I think

Finished another scarf but not sure I like the pic of it. Craft on!

Just got back from Pittsburgh... tired! I finished these scarves up last week:



I also wrote up the pattern, so if anyone wants it email tifffany(at)gmail(dot)com with a request. It's easy to work up and uses up some of that novelty yarn I stashed in mass when it was "new".

I made a couple more of these in diff color combos but will probably not bother taking a pic of them. Cause I'm lazy. ;)

Finishing up another scarf now... pics of that when I get home early enough to take good ones!

This weekend I stayed home and finished the ponchette I had started. Here she is:



And a close up of the nifty edging:



I managed this in record time, and really like the way it turned out. It's all crocheted, and I even forced myself to write up the pattern... just in case I ever want to make it again. Want a copy? Shoot an email to tifffany(at)gmail(dot)com and it will be in your box ASAP. Warning: the edging is a little bit complicated and not for the faint of heart... but if you can do doilies everything should be A-OK

Yesterday I was feeling pretty okay but then I left the house with my mom and as soon as I was in the car for 3 minutes I was feeling nautious and headachey. Not sure what was going on, but it got worse with each short trip we took. This morning when I woke up I was feeling a bit of the same, so in order to not aggravate it I called off work. I don't really have the time to burn (got 3 weeks planned vacation this year and we don't get separate vacation and sick leave), but I was worried I would feel sick and to leave and drive home would just make it worse. Off to hole up some more and work on another project/pattern for "the sale".

Last night I locked myself in and made some progress on the Steelers afghan, which is a charity project. Here is how much I have done on the center panel so far:


I just have to finish filling in the white and then I can get back to actually crocheting. I am going to add some length to the center piece and then do a black and gold border. Hopefully it will bring in beaucoup bucks for a women's cancer center of a Pittsburgh hospital.

Also, I got some Regia today that I had ordered from Elann. I didn't order the new stuff cause it's heavier weight and less yardage, but I did get enough for 2 pair of neutrally colored socks:



That's all for now... off to work on a new ponchette I am kinda designing!

Houston, we have cast-off

OK, so this isn't even knit... but I just thought of that clever little title and had to use it. Here it is:



I love the way it turned out. I used one big ball of Joann's Sensations Rainbow Boucle in light blue and the star crocheted baby blanket pattern. Worked up really fast too! Now I need to figure out some more stuff to make for this craft show I intent to do to earn Vegas bucks and use up some stash. I'm thinking ponchos and scarves and wraps are a good bet.

Found a LYS in my area. It's called Tamarella Yarns. Not a very big selection, but they had Cascade and Brown Sheep and Lamb's Pride, so there are some standards. Also had some BOGO yarn a nd a big island of 25% off. Not much sock yarn, which is what I went for, but I did pick up one ball of sockota and then order some Regia from elann.

As promised, and sooner than usual, the finished crocheted Glitterspun top! This will be for my mom for her birthday in June:



I quite like how it came out. I threw in an extra ball of glitterspun to make it a bit longer. It was quick too, despite my putting off working on it.

Here is Lion's pic of it:



It's a pay pattern, but pretty simple to do. Adaptable to any yarn as well, I'd say, with only slight modifications. I think it makes a cute semi-dressy over top.

In other news, I started a baby blanket for a co-worker. I'm using Joann's Sensations Rainbow Boucle in light blue (it's a boy) and this pattern. It's looking cute so far.

Heading to Pittsburgh for the weekend (per usual), so catch ya next week

I managed to stay up a bit last night and finish the crocheted Glitterspun top I've been working on since forever. It wasn't tedious I just wasn't really working on it. It's for my mom so it had to be worked on in secret... plus it was kinda boring. But last night I got the crocheting done and the ends woven in. Looks pretty good.. pics later.

I've decided that my man and I need to go to Vegas this november... so I've started saving and planning for that. I think I am gonna try to do a craft show in the fall to raise the funds... I definitely have the stock for it. In the meantime maybe I will try to work up some more of what I have into sellable objects. More later, off to work (bleh)
