I’ve finished the green/cream love knot edged speed hook lapghan for my grandmother. I mailed it last Friday. I hope she likes it.


Navy blanket is probably 30% done.

I started an Italia yarn speed hook blanket for a little girl I know. I wanted to make a blanket that she can drag around. The last one I made for her was more like an heirloom. This yarn is really soft and I think she’ll love it. It is pink, yellow, light green and white. I’m almost 2/3 of the way finished.

In other news, I had a Twilight movie watching party last night. I had not seen the movie in the theater since all my girls caught it on opening night while I was camping. Here is a picture of the cake I wrote Twilight on. The party was A LOT of fun. I’m already looking forward to New Moon coming out on DVD. :)

I really liked the movie overall, but I was disappointed they didn’t do a better job with Jacob – that hair would make any guy unattractive. ugh. I was really impressed with R.P. I thought he totally pulled it off! I guess I’m Team Edward after all. :)

Last week I was skiing and it turns out, I CAN be too tired to croceht/knit. Who knew?!

I haven’t knitted in awhile. I took a break after starting to learn how to knit in the Continental style. I’m very slow, but plan to work on this some more starting this weekend. I think once I have the hang of it, it will be faster for me than American. The GAAA(Great American Aran Afghan) is my final goal, but I definitely feel this being a LONG term goal.

I have finished 2 skeins of what I expect to be an 11 skein crocheted blanket for my husband. I think I’m 15% through since I plan to edge it. The goal is Christmas.
I’m 90% done with the cream/sage green blanket. I started this easy blanket to try out a love knot edging I found online. Once I’ve given it to the recipient, I’ll post a pic. Don’t want to spoil the surprise…

Now, I’m getting back to work….I plan to crochet and watch a vampire movie tonight before it gets dark. :)

I worked on the aran blanket this morning and then came to look at my blog….the photos were not displaying (ugh!)
Then while adding a link to the pattern I’m using for the aran blanket, I noticed that the skill level is experienced. hmmmm…
guess we’ll see. :)
