Crochet obsession continues

The tree is an ornament in progress for an ornament swap. I was quite excited at being able to make something three dimensional in crochet, so the bear was made, and I think he's quite fab. I like his cockamamie eyes, makes you wonder what he's up to.

Crochet...

My current obsession. Although it seems to change every month or so. I am currently taking a crocheting class where I am making what is turning out to be a very homely shawl. More on that tomorrow, I can't bring myself to accept that I've done a lot of work on it and will probably unravel it. But I suppose it's been a good learning experience...anyhoo...This baby blanket was one of the first things that I made. I just worked lots of double crochet and I actually think it turned out quite nice.

Ignore all the laundry in the background!

Get with the Program Britt

Here is my first attempt to write something everyday. Ack! I am honestly not much of a writer but wanted a place to take note of the projects I have been working on...so on with the blog. Let's see...what have I been working on lately? There was this attempt to carve a pumpkin with my husband, made more difficult by this little girl.

Went to the botanic garden and took my new digital camera for a test drive

And drew a picture of my husband on an etch a sketch

More tomorrow :)

Farmers Market

The husband and I went to a farmers market this weekend. We have been trying to go the - buying locally - route.When we got home we made applesauce...more photos of that tomorrow.The husband was perplexed as to what these were.

Granny Square Completed

I finished this blanket a few months ago, it's a great size for snuggling on the couch. I wove all the ends in at the end, which actually wasn't too terrible. This was my first granny square blanket!

Granny Hexagons

This is my (one of many) Works in Progress. I started this a few months ago, when I first learned to crochet and was less picky about my yarn choice. I have the intentions of making a large afghan, that would be easily washable, thus the partly acrylic yarn... which is part of my aversion to it. Those hexagons also take a long time to make as well. I am happy with the color choices as I think the black hexagons make the circles stand out nicely.
