Granny square throw is about 2 1/2 foot square. I started a drawstring bag also. No pattern just a circular base and half doubles up the sides. Pictures later!

LYS

So finally went to The Yellow Sweater here in Buda. It is a cute little shop. The owner and workers are really nice. They have stitch and bitch every saturday. May have to go to that once. I bought a very soft skein of yarn. Not sure what I will use it for yet, but we'll see. Haven't worked on the granny square much lately, too much school to do.

my "good" granny square

my granny square is getting huge! I think its close to the size of a standard throw pillow. I bought 3 skeins of Vanna yarn in the same collar way last night. Yay! I will post a pic later

"Good" Granny Square



I am going to keep stitching until I run out of yarn. I found the same colorway at WalMart so I think I will go get more. Hopefully I can crochet a throw for my couch. The colors of the yarn are the same colors in the throw pillows.

Love new hooks

I have been using the Provo Craft interchangeable hooks and I love them. I have done bout 10 rows and my wrist does not hurt. Also my tension is better because I am not choking the hook.

On another note, I will be part of an art project. A woman my sister knows from Ravelry is doing her masters thesis in art. She is asking knitters and crocheters to send her pics of them doing the craft and a swatch of their work. She is then going to take the pics and recreate them as line drawings. The swatch will go over the pic at the show. People will lift the swatch to see the drawing. Pretty cool. I am working on my swatch now. My sister already sent the lady our pics.

new needles

I bought the Provo Craft interchangable crochet hook system. Haven't used it yet but looks awesome. I also bought some really soft yarn, Shelly helped me wind it into a ball.
