Plugging along, and instant gratification

November 11, 2010 by Lynette

I’ve had a few crochet projects I’ve been working on F_O_R_E_V_E_R.  I’m making a huge blanket, a motif scarf out of the scraps of yarn from my poor demised rose wrap shell, a coat (yes, I’m attempting to make the same coat yet again, despite my earlier failures), and a delicate sweater using a very lightweight yarn and a very tiny hook.

So, it’s not that I haven’t been crocheting that I haven’t posted anything on my blog in some time – it’s just that I haven’t FINISHED anything!  Fortunately, I did take a few breaks to crank out some “instant gratification” projects.  (Fun, fast, easy crochets.)

I had a particularly stressful week at work two weeks ago.  To top it off, I had a REALLY stressful weekend when I had to work like mad all Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday in an attempt to recreate all the work I’d done that entire week because, with one accidental keystroke, I deleted ALL of it!  So, I took the weekend “off” two weeks ago.

I go to a bar almost every Wednesday to watch the Blackhawks’ hockey game, and enjoy their half-price pizza special.  I have a great favorite waitress (a fellow Blackhawks fan) that takes great care of me.  She has a little baby boy, and I attempted to make a little bib for him that looks like a hockey jersey.

I’ve got two more “instant gratification” sweaters in the works – as well as the scarf, coat, blanket, and sweater that continue to take F_O_R_E_V_E_R.
