A UFO, granny love and a treat..........

Hi all! The Joplin Vest has stalled out. I started it here with such hope and promise and now it is the bain of my existence. I have run out of yarn on Row 31 of a 36 row project. Argh!!!!!!!!!! So it sits and I sit with my fingering hovering over the "purchase now" button, to buy that final skein or fasten off now and just deal with it unfinished. What do you think?




Next project up....Granny squares. I've been toying with a design idea for awhile. Here are the first few. I took these pictures about 5:00 yesterday afternoon , so the colors aren't true, but, oh well, you get the idea.




Here's my gift! Can you guess what it is?
I won a giveaway at Appleblossoms Dreams blog. I have been in love with this scarf since I first saw it here in her post. I love it even more in person. Thanks so much Astri!


Happy Sunday all!

Crochet mojo.....NEW PROJECT!

Hello! It's a stay-at-home day today. Parent/Teacher conferences were Wednesday night, all day Thursday, and Thursday night, so today is our comp day. Yay! Jammies and crochet are on tap for today!

Ever since my surgery at the beginning of the month my crochet mojo has floundered.  Has that ever happened to you? I would look at projects, but my heart just wasn't in them to start them. I would idly flip through my magazines, but nothing stirred me enough to pick up my hooks, until.....




Isn't going to be great? I'm sure hoping so and it has me hooking excitedly again. The yarn I picked up at my LYS and it should have been pricey, but wasn't because it was over half price off! It is wonderful to touch and will make this project very wearable. I am having to make some modifications because my yarn and hook size are different, but so far so good; everything seems to running correctly.

Thanks to Hazel and Rob for the blog awards. I appreciate you stopping by and giving me a nod!

Have a fabulous Friday!
