Green Fixes

I had some pieces that weren't quite fitting so I decided to spend this month evening out the loose ends (in green of course).

Bricks & Butterflies

What a month! Was sick for over two weeks of it and even missed a week of work. Once that horrendous experience was over I worked on my monthly project every chance I got. A brick stitch in the white cashmere blend was quick and turned out to be a pretty pattern while a fancy-fun butterfly stitch in the pink corn blend was a challenging and cute new stitch. I need to seek out new and exciting yarn shops this weekend and start thinking about some ideas for April. Here's hoping for an enchanting SPRING!

Square One

I didn't really make any resolutions this year other than I want to learn a few things like how to snowboard and to expand my crocheting abilities. Nothing really profound, so over the past few days I've been thinking I'd like to make something over the entire year to remember it by. I woke up a few days ago with the idea to make a small piece every month and stitch them all together at the end of this year creating an afghan for our bed. I threw this one together last night and this afternoon without a pattern so I think I'm going to stick to that method. I'd like to pick up yarn on our various trips throughout the year to use as well. The two I've used here were really soft yarns I had left over from projects I've made recently so I just used them. The flower was fun to make and the green portion around it is a popcorn stitch that I've read about but never attempted--it came out quite well plus it's very squishy! I look forward to posting more as I go and can't wait to see what the finished product will look like!
