Short update: YOP16 wk 3

I realized I’m happier this week. I’ve been a bit down for a couple of years after the passing of my cat Stormy . She was 18. I haven’t crocheted anything other than my etsy shop orders. Same thing over and over again. This past week I worked on my Massachusetts c2c blanket (my home state) and I thought to myself , Why haven’t I done this sooner . Of course I only worked on it when my kitten was napping in another room 🙂

I am 90% done with the Witchy sister and Grinch cuddlers. I never want to work with a thread hook ever again. It was so uncomfortable for my hand. I needed to use one for the lips, teeth and eyes for Winifred.

The purpose of this years A Year of Projects for me is to make the patterns I purchased over the years. 209 as of Friday night. Out of that 209 I’ve made 28. 3 current are WIPS. I’ve been keeping a YOP journal to keep track of yarn, what I’ve worked on , what I need to do for each pattern and patterns I want to buy. I have 20 patterns I want to make. Here’s to a fun year! 😀

A Year of Projects: Year 16 week 2

Hi again. Happy year 16 ya’ll. I am back for another year. I was away for way too long. I am committed this time… mainly for space that my totes of yarn take up . 🙂 (4)

Where to begin. I have sorta forgotten how my blog works. More than just crochet projects I will share my diamond painting projects( I noticed a fellow YOPper is also a DP so that will be fun to see what she finishes). And maybe some of my junk journal pages. Im obsessed!

WIPS

• Witchy sister 1 ( Winifred)
• The Grinch cuddler
• Massachusetts c2c Blanket

I completed the curls for Winifred: 10 large , 20 medium and 20 small. The body for the Grinch done as well. And rows 1-25 of the Massachusetts Blanket is done. I would of been further along if it wasn’t for my 4 month old kitten who likes to attack my yarn.

This is my latest Junk journal page. Nothing flashy. I saw a picture on pinterest and said to myself ” I can do that.” and a month or so later , I did it. I plan to work on three more pages this week to help get the um “junk” off my desk.

Oh and this is Rhaenyra. Rhae for short.

YOP13 wk1 : Welcome back Erin

Please post your blog link below.

I am back again…. I have no excuse so lets just move on. This is my ….. ‘I don’t know what year’ doing A Year of Projects. Lets just say its been a while…. like me posting….. I’m in and out…. I mostly lurk 😁
Oh I’m Erin by the way ….. for all you newbies.

So this year for a year of projects I decided to make things I want or can use. I have yarn balls, almost full skeins and full skeins that are taking up 2 shelves in a cabinet I need for other stuff. when I go to a store, I see a color I like and I buy or think I need it for a project when I already have it at home its just buried under other skeins. I haven’t bought yarn that I didn’t need (ie etsy orders) for almost 2 years. Hence the time away. I haven’t been in the mood to crochet for fun.

Oh and I am definitely finishing my Sophie’s Universe blanket!

I will be working on a few tops for myself. One I started a few years ago that I recently found. I thought I frogged it. I plan on making another one but in a different color. The yarn I used is from a store that no longer in business, A.C. Moore. 😦 The other is called Cold Shoulder Top . I will add photos soon. Then there is Easy Waterfall Cardigan. Crocheting the same stitch over and over again makes me bored. So that one has been sitting about half done since mid-April.

Happy July. I cant wait to see what you all have made! 🙂
