A quick update on the progress I've made crocheting a GST. It seems like its taking forever, but I’ve got 20 squares made up and I believe that will be plenty. I’m in the process of sewing them together and then I’ll decide if I want to make it a bit longer. Unfortunately for me, I’ve had a mini setback on the edging. Somehow, I managed to separate the knitting from the needles (ouch) and since I didn’t see the need for a lifeline (i.e. stubberness=trouble), it unraveled itself and I couldn’t figure out what row was what. So, I have had the honor of unraveling it completely (rip). As soon as I can get over being mad at the situation, I will start again, with a lifeline in tow.
My boys are away at yet another football camp. It was a lot more fun for me the first time they were away. I’m kinda over ‘alone time’. I now think it is a bit over rated. I’ve spent time with the needles n hook, I’ve cleaned up here and there. I’ve eaten what I want when I want (no big meal planning or prep) and I’ve watched enough chick-flicks to last me thru the summer.
The most fun thing that I’ve done was a Find. Yes, I was out and about doing a little shopping and I found a great hutch to use for my knitting stash. I’m excited to get it home and get my yarns out of the closet and up on shelves, where I can see it, and dream of what it will become.
