Fish, Beautiful Fish

O' I just love them. They are from Neiman Marcus' 2007 Christmas. I found hangers for them today at the Michael's, on sale. They even look like they are kissing. I shall put them near my Lalique Crystal fish from last year. When I make a million dollars, I plan on buying the Lalique Aquarium with a bunch of crystal fish. Of course, that will sit next to my room size saltwater aquarium.

OK, I'm getting back to my blanket project, since I finished my String Bag for JPB.

This blanket is for a friend's son. I decided to do it in Cubs colors (Red, White and Royal Blue) and there will be a pocket for a Cubby Bear. Most of the pattern is single crochet and half double. I try to do it for at least 1 hour at night, but I haven't gotten as far as I would have liked.

The ergo hook is helping so I should get it done sometime next week. Stay Tuned for updates!

O' I finally finished! I ended up buying a new set of hooks so I could finish. My hand was actually going completely numb. I think it had a lot to do with the hook I was using. The new hook worked really well. I was able to purchase them at Walmart.

I started this project in between the Make it your blanket. It needs to be done by Thursday. Since I've been so crazy at work this week, I haven't been able to work on it at night.

Now mind is ready to work on it but my hand is not cooperating. Every round my hand decides that it wants a break. This especially stinks, because I would like to get it finished this weekend.

Well, I guess I will see how my progress goes. Although I am at my best when under a deadline.

Baby Bib

OK, So I finally finished the baby bib. Had a bit of trouble with the pattern, starting on the opposite side of the neck. I used common sense to finish and it turned out good. I still need more experience with this pattern thing. I'm starting a blanket today for a little boy. We'll see how my next project goes. I'm not adventurous enough to start something with sizing yet!
