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. :)
