snow day


hmmm.

snowing for about the 3rd day in a row. i think there is a limit to how much soup a person can make, and even though it's a "holiday" - i did not think about it, and have to work.

one good thing about the early cold weather, is that i feel perfectly justified in doing nothing but sitting and crocheting in the off hours. this means i got a pretty good start on the ugly colors afghan this weekend.

the colors are not BAD. just not at all what i like. trying something "different" is not always good. i do like the funky pattern, however. i thought i would hate it, but actually it's fairly easy. i think you are supposed to make all the little squares first, then attach them all together at the end. i have decided to go the more "instant gratification" route, and sew em together as i go. tonite i will have a jillion ends to tie. there is something satisfying about even THAT part :)

sigh. happy monday peeps!

I dig the funky pattern, too. How did you end up with colors you don't love?

The colors look nice together, but maybe something brighter..have you thought about using more of the yellow? That might make it really POP.

I, too, like the random sizes in your pattern! Very fun.

I really like this. I like the pillow too. I am going to be restitching my babette soon. K~
