my randomness in crochet, and my attempt to finish all the projects i start...

i should be doing something....

so here i go blogging again about my crochet habits and other crafty type of things. so i made this pattern that i found online and it was for a shrug using a M hook, which is large for me but it was kind of fun because the lines went pretty fast! so i made the back and sides and only have the sleeves and finishing left to do.....

the problem...i think it's too small and i'm just too lazy to even take it all apart or start all over! so it just may be a gift for my brother's fiance and i'll just ask if she wants it or not and she doesn't have to take it if she won't wear it! i could always give it to little jessica too if she didn't want it, but i figure i should pawn it off on whoever can!

i'm going to make the sleeves a size larger because they're really small right now, and that's no good at all :-/

i've been on and off on my other projects, as you see that there's a lot of projects that i have and theres a bunch of different yarn that i still have to figure out what to do....and i think i just totally got called a dork for having a blog about my crochet!

anywho, a girl at work wants me to draw and/or paint her puppy...he's a terrier and really adorable! i have a few pictures, and i have to decide what medium to use...i was thinking about pastels on velour because i really love pastels...but then i was thinking cray-pas too? watercolor? acrylic? what do you think?? leave me a message letting me know what you think!

peace out.

a long over due update!

so here's the deal! I've been lazy and haven't made too much progress on my projects...I just haven't been motivated to read the pattern, i loved when all i made was simple scarves and i made up my own rules, well, i wanted to do more so then i had to follow patterns to get the idea of what i wanted to do...so i guess i have to make a few things before i actually get the hang of it all...but it's just sucking in the meantime! and the million granny squares i have to make are on hold because i can't find my hook! oh no!

it's somewhere in my apt but that could be anywhere right now. and i forgot to grab my thingy to put pictures from my camera to my computer...so you should expect pictures in about a month when i finally go home to pick it up! so eventually i will have pictures but unless i do other things in the meantime, i probably won't have any other way until then.

in other news, i'm tired...and probably going to lay and watch the tv.
