Well I suppose it had to happen sometime.

Tell me that I do not look 16 again.

This blanket is actually really fun to work on. It’s something you can just do one small triangle at a time, but the only frustrating thing is that you need to bring all 4 skeins to do even just one triangle. But it’s still the most fun I’ve had crocheting a blanket. You make each triangle and then crochet the triangles together to make a hexagon, and then you connect the hexagons to make a large blanket. I haven’t started connecting my hexagons yet, but I will make sure that I keep everyone updated.

My table is a mess of yarn all the time!

This is the starting triangle. I really like the colors, nice and mellow

Once you add all the triangles together, this is what you get. I’m not entirely sure how to attach the rest together, but I guess I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it.

**Edit** I remembered something else. We renamed this blanket because it had some dumb name, but it’s the Celtic Trinity blanket now! We saw it at the fair and tried to figure it out through the glass window, but Charissa was finally the one who tracked down the pattern.

Sometimes the unexplainable can define you

I have some new house guests.

I know that this doesn’t have anything to do with crafting, but they’re awfully fun to wake up to in the morning. They make very pretty music. It’s nice to have some other noises in the house besides my own besides the garage door in the morning.

I’ll make the most of it, I’m an extraordinary machine

I apologize for not having any new crafty things to show off. I have been very busy with everything else, on top of being sick for the past two weeks. There were some horrid diseases going on around our family and then I got my wisdom teeth pulled, so it’s been a real fun, so instead of out doing things in the real world I’ve been thinking what I want for my little apartment.

I like this chair alot, but it might be a little bit wild.

A fun area rug

I would love a shelf like this to put all of my cool stuff in.

So that’s all!

This is a blanket I’ve been working on for a while. I don’t know that I will finish it any time soon, but it’s taking a long time. I have three panels finished and I think I need 8 or so, with every other one being cable knitted. I love the color, but I’m not sure if it comes across in the pictures. It’s called Lemon Grass, but it’s more of a sage green. It’s very pretty. The yarn is, unfortunately, very expensive, so I buy it one skein at a time.

I like making a piece of string into something I wear

I made this hat using four double sided needles. It was the first time I’ve used them other than making socks. I think that it turned out ok. My second attempt was a bit smoother, but I don’t know where it has gone too. It is MIA, but most likely at the bottom of my knitting bag, which is currently a yarny mess.

I hear the clock, it’s six a.m. I feel so far from where I’ve been

A couple of baby blankets I crocheted a while back for Judah Wolff and Simon Dau

I still only travel by foot, and by foot it’s a slow climb

I made this bag this afternoon. I saw a similar one at Target, but decided that I could make a cuter one, with more fun fabric, so there you have it. It’s supposed to be little trees, but somehow they ended up looking more like lollipops, but I love it anyway.
