I'm Still A Hooker at Heart

Just a quick post today....

I know I have been doing a lot of non crochet crafts lately, but that is just because I am trying to give my hands a rest. They have seem to be hurting more and more when I crochet. But with that said at least once a week I am still working on my small granny square scrap blanket. I really need to count how many squares I have now. I am sure, I still don't have nearly enough.

What I'm (still) Working On

Uh, yeah,still working on the Corner Granny... I took a couple of days off from it, and then when I was ready get get back at it, I bought the wrong color of yarn. DUH! Oh well, Michael's is less than 5 minutes from my house. I have a few more rows of the darker red (Cranberry is the color name), and then I'll just have the brown left.

Joshua asked me if I was going to put a border on it, hmmmm...I will have to give that some thought. And if I do, what color should it be?



And of course "Inspector YaYa" is always on his post :)


I have also still been working on my small granny circle in a square blanket. I got all the ends sewn in for the old squares and then I started making new ones.



Well, yes that is my Spongebob lunch box holding the squares :)




The colors are pretty random, because I am using scraps/leftovers only. At least that is my goal as of now.

I'm on a Roll

A pillow roll that is. :) Still working on using up my scraps......



This stitch is called Box Stitch or Diagonal Stitch, I think I have heard it called both. The first few times I tried it....FAIL! So I found a video, watched it, and finally got the hang of it. Once I got going, it worked up pretty fast.

First Piece

Second Piece



It's 18 inches square, and I really like it. I debated continuing and making more squares and turning it into a blanket, but I am way to impatient for that.
