Is it possible that only 11 days into the new year I could already be a month behind? Today is my darling little granddaughter's second birthday. Happy Birthday Jayda Leigh! Grandma loves you so very much.
So holidays are over and its back to work, keeping in mind my resolve to finish the myriad projects that are stashed in too many places to count. There have been several frustrating days where I did not even get to touch a crochet hook or play with any yarn. Today though, I am working like mad on finishing an afghan design that has been sitting around way too long. So far I am working it up in several types of yarn. The first sample started is in a beautiful multicolored yarn in fall colors. (Red Heart TLC) The joined motifs have lots of texture which does not show up very well in this color scheme. But I really love the colors anyway. So I started a second sample using Vanna White ww yarn in a pretty seaspray mist green. The texture shows up better in the trial pics. Then on a hunch I got out some of the Bernat Baby Jacquards and crocheted 2 motifs joined together. I think I might like this one the best. Still undecided where I will send this design to first. Time to break out the submission guidelines for all the crochet magazines and see which ones might be looking for this kind of design.
On a general note, it has been determined that in my family this is officially the year of the blonde. And no, it has nothing to do with hair color. I am convinced that blonde is a blood type and I am riddled with it. Maybe I could blame it on the blood transfusion they gave me in the hospital a couple of years ago??? Already have had more blonde moments this year than all of last year combined. Keeps one on their toes and laughing. Simply cannot take it too seriously........
Well, back to my crochet.
