So, remember I said I had to buy the yarn for the crocheted afghan I loved so much? Well, I did buy the yarn at Joanne's Wed night so I could bring it on the retreat. However, I have tried to crochet before AND I really did not care who made the blanket, as long as it got made so... I called my sister-in-law who agreed to make the blanket if things did not work out. (I always like a back up plan!)
Well, I gave it about a 1/2 hour effort. I tried it left handed and right handed and never really got the hang of it. I am sure, as everyone pointed out, that I should have spent more than 1/2 hour trying but really... I did not like it and I was losing valuable knitting time. So off to Barbara the yarn goes. I did call her on Sunday and told her I still hated to Crochet. She just laughed and told me to bring it on over. I suspect that was my plan all along but you'll never get me to admit it again!
Now I have to start planning what to bring to Seattle next month. I am told to bring 'dying' clothes and shoes. That shouldn't be too hard to find. Since the dye is permanent we have to bring stuff that can be trashed. I have lots of that. I can't remember what to bring for Steph's class but I have the list at home. I knit sort of continental/throw so it should be interesting to see what she says when she critiques me.
Miranda is having a scrap party this Saturday and I can't go. Boo hoo! I have my church's 40th anniversary party and since my husband is cooking I need to go. Oh well, next time. Something I ordered for Becky regarding scrapping will be in for Christmas so that helps me finish up shopping for her. It's not a "them" present, though, so I still need to find something for her BF.
What a week - I have to work all 5 days! This working thing really gets into the way of my real life. Gotta work on that!
