Last night at a crochet/knitting/creative group meeting someone said something and her words stayed with me. She said, âIâm tired of this sweater, but I donât want to put it down.â (She found some yarn she had bought months ago and started knitting a sweater. She knew she wouldnât finish the sweater if she stopped working on it now, so she kept working on it).
If I am not actually working on a project for someone, I would move from one project to another, because I get bored with the same colors. I have put a project in a bag and it could be a month or longer before I think about it again.
There is a saying, âOut of sight – Out of mind,â and I believe it. I am done with that frame of mind. I finally got my yarn in somewhat order and realized I have a lot of granny squares. When I am done with a project. I use to just make granny squares out of the scrap yarn because
- I enjoy crocheting granny squares.
- I wanted to use the yarn I spent my time and money on.
- Itâs a waste to have yarn in a bag and take up space.
I finally finished my pink project, which is a prayer cloth, which is a small blanket that covers my knees when I am at service. I donât wear my skirts or dresses too short, but when you sit down it will rise and this blanket will take care of that.
Iâm not fond of the color green, but someone gave me some yarn. When I was done with my pink project, I placed the leftover yarn in the bag, and I realized that green yarn looked good next to the pink yarn.
I realized I am only working on the brown throw blanket, (because someone had given me a multi-colored yarn and the brown matched that yarn perfectly) when I am crocheting once a month with friends at a local yarn shop.
Once again I was blessed with some free yarn. I was surprised it was six Caron one pound of dark grey yarn. I was thinking what can I do with this yarn? My first thought was to add light grey and pink, because I used to wear those colors back in my school days.
Then I thought about my son and an off white, red, light, and dark grey blanket might be nice? As I was writing (typing) I was thinking about those granny squares. Now I know what I am going to do. Well, only time will tell, because I am going to finish the two projects I have now before starting another oneâŚ.
Side note : I will leave the pattern I used for each blanket and the creator I learned it from. The Pink, Cream, and Lime Green blanket I used the same yarn. The Multicolored yarn RIOS/Malabrigo https://charlotteyarn.com/ The light brown was a gift, so is unknown.

Bye IV Now, LD*
I didnât know how I was going to reuse the dark grey yarn after taking it from a different project. The grey was too dark, with the light pink, but I believe these new colors will blind together much better. The sun is still out and I am still enjoying my day off. Time to get back to my new grey project. I am still thinking about adding a little more black in it, so it wonât be so light. Only time will tell about that add on.
