It seems the more I crochet the more I can't stop planning different projects. I've been working down my accumulated stash of yarn and I'm beginning to worry about what I'm going to do with myself when I go to my shelves of yarn and need more! Yarn is getting more and more expensive it seems.
I've been working on Attic24's Neat Ripple Pattern and loving it. I made a rainbow throw for my sister-in-law in May, in twenty-one days. I loved it so much I'm making a duplicate for myself, swapping out RedHeart Cornmeal for Lemon.
I'm using thirteen shades of Wal-Mart cheapo Red Heart yarn. I take it to work with me and get quite a bit accomplished. Then the other day I was looking through patterns on ravelry and stumbled upon this pattern for a Diagonal Box Stitch afghan. My brain went nuts thinking of different color combos.
I have a stash of Vanna White yarn that's so old it's the 7oz size skeins, in various dusty/autumn colors. So I figured I'd learn the pattern and test it out using that yarn and OMG I love it!
So I've been working on these two projects the past few days and my hands don't know which they want to do!
I know what you mean, crocheting is just so much fun and there are so many nice projects to choose from :)
ReplyDeleteI have also have been working on a blanket using Attic24's Neat Ripple pattern, but I must admit I put it aside about a year ago because I couldn't resist starting other projects. I'm sure I'll finish my Neat Ripple blanket some time though, I think it's a really fun pattern and the result looks great.
Peppy - resisting the urge to begin other projects is incredibly hard sometimes! It usually hits me nearly half-way through an afghan. I start thinking of different color combos and I just can't wait. I tell myself I'll work on them together and switch off, but I have quite a few dead end afghans that will be WIPs for a long while to come. :)
