I am so over crocheting scarves. It doesn’t matter how long I am crocheting, I don’t seem to be getting any closer to the number of 23, but I don’t want to give up. Then I thought, what if I just worked a few granny squares together, and I can count that as one scarf done.
I have a bag full of granny squares. It took a few moments to get the right colors, the same yarn, and the right amount to make a scarf. The correct number is 20 if you wanted to know.
It was a good idea, until I remembered it takes a few to stitch each square together, and then I am going to have to crochet the border. I don’t know what I was thinking. I have 11 done, and was told I would be given two, but so far that is an empty number. Oh well, let me get back to crocheting. I have 5 days to come up with 13 more scarfs…
This is the first time I didn’t repack my yarn in my bag and then in a rush I grabbed my bag and ran out of the door.
I feel a little lost without my yarn. For some strange reasons I have no Internet, so I cannot play my games on my phone, and waiting in a hospital room is no fun, when you are ready to go home.
I will pack myself an emergency bag, so this won’t happen again. It may not be my current project, but at least I will be able to keep my hands moving and my mind focusing on something else.
It seems like the longer I am crocheting, the less I have completed. 5 done – 19 to go. I am not giving. I have 6 more days to end this crazy crochet scarfs project. Time to get back to crocheting, every stitch counts..
When asked what you could do to help out in the women’s shelter on Thanksgiving day. I was thinking maybe two or three people would like to learn, but since no one could give me an answer. I left the yarn that was donated to me for this project at home and just went in there with the thought of helping with the Christmass decorations.
I was surprised when someone asked about the amount of yarn I brought to show anyone.
Me : “I didn’t bring any, because I couldn’t get a number count.”Member : “Good, because no one wanted to do it.” Me : “Okay, someone gave me some yarn. I can make some scarves.How many do you think I would need to make?”Member : “Only 23”Me : Okay
I have no idea why I thought I could crochet 23 scarves in 18 days. My co-worker said she would do one for me. I got two made and I am working on two more now. It’s December 5th, I should get back to crocheting, because December 15, will be here soon.
I don’t know if I was told this or I heard it on TV, but these words are true. Think before you speak, because I want to keep my word, but my heart may be bigger than how fast my hands can move.
Bye IV Now, LD
P.S – Sorry, this is a little off, but I am way too tired to try to figure out how the “Me” and “Member” line up. Time to eat, crochet a few rows, and call it a night…
I love to crochet. There’s no surprise there. If I am sitting, most likely I am crocheting. My favorite stitch is the granny square. Although I don’t like stitching them together. I will post a few videos from my favorite crafters that show how to crochet granny squares. I was working on my red blanket (late last night). I had an idea in my head, but somehow it wasn’t coming out as I thought it would. I did a few different stitches into one and will end it with a simple granny stitch until there isn’t any yarn left. Oh, this is the fourth design for these colors. I decided to not frog the last project, turning it into a few balls of yarn, and just keep crocheting.
I found a better way to start my granny square… A standing single stitch takes the small bump away. I came up with this thought last night, because there was little light in my room. (Oh, I do not recommend crocheting with only light coming from the TV) When I got to a corner, I could barely see that third stitch, so when I turned my project around and was getting ready to make that slip stitch. I stopped. I was thinking can I do a standing crochet stitch? I was way too tired to keep thinking about this, so I just did it. I was so happy, because it worked.
** sidenote: I tried to find a video of a standing crochet stitch and there are way too many. I saved some, but they are lost in my group list as well.
I didn’t see what I did, so maybe it wasn’t a standing stitch after all. No, it was my standing stitch, and one day I will start my own YouTube channel….
My standing stitch goes like this: a single stitch, turned, another single stitch, I only pulled through one stitch, now there is two stitches on my hook, I pulled through one stitch, and now there are two stitches left, pulling through those two to make the height of a double crochet stitch.
