Pokemon square!

I finished a square today! Been working on it all day, on and off. It turned out well. I wish it would look better when crocheting on the wrong side. Just doesn't turn out as well as on the right side. But I try and this is about as good as it's going to get. :3

Another square done!

Last night I finished the WoW Horde square. When I put it with the others, I realized it was smaller than them. So I'll have to put a border around it to make it match in size. Now I've started on the Pokemon square. About 15% done on it. Should have it done by today. If I can get one square out a day, I'll actually get the blanket done in time! Excited about seeing it all come together. If it turns out well, I'll make another with something else besides games. Maybe anime. I think that'd be awesome!

Crochet Day

It's been awhile since I've updated. Yesterday I began to crochet on the Horde square for the gamer blanket. I also received the vampire swap package from my swapper on Ravelry. I got some pretty yarn and I found something I want to make. The only problem is, it's a knitting pattern. So I must learn to knit. The next time I go to Walmart I'm going to pick up a learners book and have a go. I'm hoping I can pick it up quickly as I really want to make this hat. It's adorable!

So once I learn to knit, I have my first project. ^-^ Today my goal is to finish this Horde square and be able to start on another. 2 months left till Yule and I'm no where near being done with gifts!

Arm warmers

I've been working on a set of arm warmers for a trade. They're turning out good though it's a pattern I'm making myself. I've just about finished one and about to start on the other. I'm hoping to finish them today and have a picture up later this evening. :3

Crochet Funk

So I've not been crocheting much lately. Seems I've gotten myself into a little funk where I don't feel like doing anything. I haven't picked up a crochet hook nor touched my sewing machine. I did start on a plushie of Edward Cullen for a trade I'm in though. But I haven't finished him. I guess hand sewing a little bit is better than doing totally nothing. But I wish I could get out of this jam. I need to get back to work on the gamer blanket as well as work on other Yule gifts. Tomorrow I'm going to try to do something. I need to sew some things for trades and crochet as well. Will just have to push myself and make myself do it. Maybe doing that will get me to want to do it. -shrugs- Will see.
