Some crochet finally!
Back when I was pregnant, I used Red Heart acrylic in the colors of the rainbow to make a granny square blanket. I didn't get very far into the project because as I was putting the squares together with some black yarn it dawned on me. This blanket was absolutely hideous. It literally looked like 1970 came over to my house and puked into my lap. So that project was chunked and since then I've only made two other granny square blanket and deemed it was not for me.
Despite my granny-square-hating-ass I am in complete love with this project. So far I have used 5 hanks of All Things Heather sock yarn. Not too thin, soft and the colors are so cheery! This will be another blanket for Lily, though I was hoping to make it a little bigger for her. Most of the yarn I scored on Ravelry and I haven't had much luck getting more.
I get exactly 15 six inch squares from each 360yd hank. I only have to crochet 20 more blocks until I can assemble them together. The only problem is crocheting is very taxing on my wrists. Apparently, when I crochet my hook and yarn flies everywhere. Instead of moving my fingers I rotate my wrists. I don't know why I do this and can't find another style that is comfortable for me to use. So after a few days of crocheting I have to put the hook down for a week or so.
Which explains why I knit a whole lot more than I crochet. I could knit all day without my arms or shoulders getting tired. It does bother me a little that my blog is more of a knitting site peppered with crochet.
Still working on the Baby Pinwheel blanket. I'm already in the middle of the next color change, so maybe this will be done by the middle of next month. Not sure of the exact stitch count but its at least 600. 600 stitches that take freaking forever to finish. I'm not sure who this will be for, another blanket for Lily?
Pretty Handmaidens!
