How I heart you so! With your endless pattern selection and a queue to place them in. I have spent the last few days (weeks) knitting, crocheting but, mostly looking up new projects I can make LOL. Right now on my needles is the 2nd of a pair of pocketbook slippers. As soon as I finish them I will be casting on for a matching headband to wear with the slippers. I have put the squares not really on hiatus. I was just starting to get bored so I moved on to something else for a while. I am so happy to have my love for knitting and crochet back! It was put on the back burner for a long time but, it has become a wonderful hobby of mine again!<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6016140000955317085-2894889268904227318?l=treadmillknitter.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MommaChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07149744870623670921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6016140000955317085.post-36788722403828349192009-08-09T19:09:00.000-07:002009-08-09T19:15:27.178-07:00I finished the 2nd square to my 2009 afghan project. It is looking pretty bland so with these next squares I will be adding in more colors. I have also decided that I really need to literally branch out with my knitting and crochet. I have always done washcloths, granny squares, and other short, sweet, SQUARE projects. So, I have been eye-ing the Branching Out lace scarf from the Spring 2005 Knitty. I am working it in Caron Simply Soft Eco in the colorway "Ocean Mist". It was turning out oh so pretty yet everytime I start this project (I've started it three times already) I mess up on row 5 of the pattern. I'm going to try once more and see how it goes. I'll be back later with pictures hopefully.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6016140000955317085-3678872240382834919?l=treadmillknitter.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MommaChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07149744870623670921noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6016140000955317085.post-70477869570404578482009-07-30T13:22:00.000-07:002009-07-30T13:34:25.034-07:00I signed up for the 2009 Block A Month CAL at the beginning of the year but, never participated. Well I finally decided to jump in. I'm spending the week at my moms. I brought my knitting and crochet bag with me, but no projects to do so I was trying to find something to work on. I started with the 2009 January block (there's a 2008 CAL as well on Ravelry. The block is called Mandala.<br /><br />http://www.ravelry.com/projects/TreadmillKnitter/mandala<br /><br />There's my version of it and if you aren't on Ravelry (which you so should be!) here's a pic of it!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3o-5lqyq8N0/SnIDS2X4TiI/AAAAAAAAACw/oR0FZyvMMPI/s1600-h/various+119.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_3o-5lqyq8N0/SnIDS2X4TiI/AAAAAAAAACw/oR0FZyvMMPI/s320/various+119.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5364353728519884322" /></a><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/6016140000955317085-7047786957040457848?l=treadmillknitter.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>MommaChttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07149744870623670921noreply@blogger.com1
