Knit & Crochet Fool!

[writefiction]

So I've been knitting and crocheting lately. It's all Mary Lou's fault. She called to talk to my mom a few different times and she kept asking if I was knitting. That totally gave me the knit / crochet bug. Now I can't stop. Here are a few of my latest projects.....




I made this on Thursday and Friday. It really didn't take long. It's the first time I've been able to make a Granny Square without someone sitting by my side helping me. I had a really good pattern that was easy to understand.





I started this on Friday when I was done with the above Granny Square. This is only one skein (ball) of yarn. The pattern calls for 5 but my mom only got me 4 b/c she was @ Building #19 and this was all they had. I think it's awesome.

So anyway, that's what I've been up to. And n_isfor_neville's pix of her crocheted animals are really inspiring. But I want to finish this project first. I can't wait to make the Panda Bear. Maybe I'll give it to Teeny Tiny Andrew so he'll always think of his Aunty Panda Bear. =D

I really love those colors!

I started crocheting a HUGE afghan a while back and I'm probably 1/3 done with it, and I just haven't worked on it in forever, because it just seems like it's going to take forever to finish. I'm bad about not finish big projects like that.

LOL! I'm the same way! I started crocheting a baby blanket for my friend's baby when she was only 6 months pregnant. The "baby" is now 5 and a half and it's nowhere near done!

They look great! Now you need to get yourself an account on ravelry.com, the site for all the knitting and crocheting addicts. ;)
