scrumbdillicious

we are off! classes are posted. i am reading through and trying to choose how best to use my time.

last night, mair and i went on a yarn-pr0n spree over at etsy. i was able to walk away without a purchase, but it was hard! today, i spent the last hour tweaking my ravelry pages so i only see what i want to see. then, i loaded RSS feeds from slytherin to my igoogle reader. THEN, i researched freeform crochet AKA scrumbling:



it so beautiful! it looks like undersea corals--so organic and magical! i just want to try everything!

*obviously suffering from an acute case of autumn woolmania*

whoa! just when i think crochet is fun, but ugly.....

look at this aussie chick's amazing blanket of crocheted HP portraits!



here is totallee's blog with all the finished portraits.

envisioning tiny stitches!

i picked up my new pair of prescription reading glasses at costco today. (i did not like the transitional bifocal lenses. i had them remade into single vision lenses.)


now i have no excuses left when it comes to crocheting that jewelry project i was dreaming of a while ago!

It's 100 degrees outside...but autumn must be in the air

I spent 20 minutes fingering yarn yesterday, then went home and watched YouTube videos on how to knit.


uh-oh!

;)

where i stopped...

i did also work on the ash, but i haven't photographed it.
i am still at a standstill on all my crochet.

sigh.

alas

i did not meet the deadline for the end of the second month on my OWL. not that i hadn't been working-- it is just sometimes, february goes out like a carpstorm. i did get the little phoenix body banged out and most of the ashes, but i didn't even try to submit it before the deadline. i really have been distracted and discouraged.

i also did not finish the braille secret message scarf.

grr.
