Harriet , You ARE AMAZING! Wow! You blow me away with your talents, your creativity, information, and tips! Big WTG, Gal!
I've been stalling on:
1- crocheting my Ugly but Warm Hat & matching shell-stitch scarf. I don't know why!
2- a vest for DGD-turning-2-in-Jan.'s vest,
3- DGS-turning 6 soon, his hat,
4- DGS-turning 4 in 2015, his hat,
I don't know if I'm stalling because:
1- I feel so guilty, when I crochet for myself, because I rarely do, so I feel selfish!
2- I enjoy planning ahead on b-day gifts (3), due by Jan., Feb. and April, for grandchildrens' b-days,
3- I get "sidetracked" doing other things.....
It will only take about 1 - 2 hours, to do my hat, DGD's vest, and my scarf can be done over a 4 - 5-day period.
The DGS's hats, are a rib-knit stitch, in crochet, so they'll go quickly, I can baby-step the process, and after all, they're not due until Feb. AND April 2015. I have time. I wanted to wear the hat this week, when I go get blood drawn, for my thyroid test- again. It'll be stormy on three days, during the time I need to run in to get the test done. Today's Sunday, so I think I'm going to just buckle down, and DO this for myself, during the Seahawks game! If I'm on a roll, I just may get DGD's vest done, too! It's a very easy-to-crochet pattern, the pattern says, so it should go quickly. It's small, too, and not like I'm crocheting a cardigan for a size 18 woman! It's an itty-bitty 24-months size. It's adorable, too. I ♥ to crochet for little girls. It's so much fun, after so many boys.
