areolasI mentioned taking some time off for my exam tomorrow, but it was less studying than I expected so I don't really have anything to do today lol. I'm working on a grocery order right now and then I guess I'm gonna play some more dragon age origins. It's such an aged game...still good, not fun or easy or pleasant to play like at all.
Some crochet updates, since it's been a while since I've posted anything. I finished the front panel and one sleeve of a sweater! I'm on a bit of a break from it for now though, after starting the second sleeve. I'm worried it won't fit as well as I expected.... I chose the medium build for the panel but I think maybe my tension was a little tight. I'll get to work on the back and see what the final product looks like, I guess. If I have to tear it apart and start over.... it is what it is I guess.
I also returned to my ren faire skirt. It came to a pause because I spilled a full coffee on my instruction sheets and basically lost my place. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be to re-find though, so I picked it back up. Hoping I can finish it for this year's ren fest, since I couldn't for last year. We'll see!
Also found a 365 granny square a day site I've been following along to. Haven't managed one a day, but I have idk, 5 or 6 done. Thing is they aren't all the same size lol and some of them came out ugly. I decided to instead skip around and do just the ones I like the design of. Why waste time and yarn on squares I don't like. What I'll do with them at the end idk, sew em together into something.
Have been chipping away at this puff quilt anytime I get too low on a skein to do anything significant. That's what I like about these hobbies is nothing goes to waste. My tiny skeins go to something and the scraps go into stuffing these puffs. Same with quilting. Big scraps can be reused, tiny scraps can go to a crumb quilt. I can't wait to have enough scraps for one.
Was gonna post about other stuff and it turned into all about crochet. Ha! Maybe I'll spend some day off time working on one of my projects as well :)
