Welcome to Slumpsville

Ugh.

I'm STILL working on the never-ending baby soon-to-be-toddler blanket. I finally finished the main body of it, so no more rows and rows of slippery dc to do. Yeah me! Now, I just have to make some fairly simple flower squares, sew them on the corners, do a quick shell edging and call it done.

And yet...

I've not worked on it in days. True, my stupid ovary is acting up, so I feel like crap, but still, I should at least work on it. I mean, I knocked out a charity square tonight in less than an hour!

I'm avoiding finishing this blanket, and I have no idea why. My crocheting needs therapy now.

I've got three, maybe four things left to make my swap partner. I feel like it's not enough; everyone has been getting so much awesome stuff from their partners and I feel badly that my partner got stuck with a slowpoke!

I should be working on something for her now, actually. Think I'll go work on {THIS PORTION OF POST CENSORED} for her. That'll be "big fun", as Ellie says.

Oh, and if any of you need a great yarn tote, the wheely ones from JoAnn's kick ass. I'm loving mine. I got two, and I'll post pictures at some point of how much I can cram in them.

Busy Bee Me

I've been so busy the last week. Man.

I'm almost done with the Mary Maxim kit I got - it's a 12 point round ripple baby afghan in pastels. So pretty. I'll get pictures up tomorrow when I'm done. I've actually only been working on it for two days. It's gone really quickly. Two strands of Bernat Coordinates and a K hook will do that for a project, lol!

I've still got lots of things planned for my swap partner, but tomorrow is going to have to be dedicated to finishing Marissa's baby blanket. It must get done. I should be working on it now. But the thought of a G hook and baby weight yarn makes me want to go into a corner and cry. Add to it rows and rows of nothing but DC, and I'm ready for a padded room. What.Was.I.Thinking?

Up next - the Mary Maxim GIANT round ripple in their Serene yarn. Holy granola, I can already tell I'll be throwing things across the room. It's a very nubby yarn, and thin. Oh well, the color changes are gorgeous, and it's totally going to be worth it. Someone remind me of that when I'm jamming yarn back into a plastic zip bag and driving north to return the kit .
