In this past month I've made progress on a couple of stitching WIPs and started yet another one, but that's for a later update. I don't have any photos yet, and the daylight is long gone.<br />
<br />
In the meantime, I've been kinda obsessed with crochet lately. Let's see...<br />
<br />
A set of teapot and teacups coasters, a housewarming present for my sister:<br />

<br />
A scarf, for my sister as well:<br />

A pillow cover, for my living room. It's a bit wonky but the stuffing is really not ideal...<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
And I started my very first Crochet-A-Long (CAL), hosted by <a href="http://www.mooglyblog.com/" target="_blank">Moogly</a>. The idea is to crochet 2 blocks a month throughout the year, so that at the end of the year we have 24 same-sized blocks ready to join for an afghan. I decided to draw from my tiny yarn stash and went with three shades of Stylecraft Special DK: Sherbet, Cloud Blue and Teal. All squares will be in these colors.<br />
<br />
5 blocks have already been released so I'm playing catch up, but I am now done with 1, 2 and 4, and currently working on 5. I just wasn't feeling block 3, so I decided to skip it for now, and either come back to it later or just replace it with another design.<br />
<br />

Meh, looking at them all like that, my blocks need blocking (haha). They'll just have to wait until the end though.Maudhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08519071205232021315noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6818017742462116456.post-21729128892730701552014-02-08T12:37:00.001+00:002014-02-08T12:37:42.527+00:00Crochet LoveIt's been cold, rainy, dark, dreary, and the January/February slump is in full effect.<br />
<br />
But look! Today we had a ray of sunshine, so I hurried and snapped a few pics of sunny, brightly colored, happy crochet.<br />
That's the c2c lap blanket I just finished for myself, to keep me warm on those cold nights spent stitching in my Happy Chair.<br />
