Coaster!

Last night I crocheted this awesome blue thread yarn coaster. I made it from this pattern. I totally want to make about 5 more.



I need to really stop project jumping! Finish what I start... must remember this...

It is finished!

Here it is, my first ever crocheted hat! I am happy that it turned out so well and looks so pretty. The original pattern called for only doing the ruffle halfway, but I decided to do the ruffle all the way around, and I only added one flower instead of two. I can't wait to put it on her! I am also going to make one in a bigger size for when she grows. ^__^



I crocheted it while taking a break from the Ten Stitch Twist blanket. It was getting too repetitive so I had to do something different that was fast to finish.

Piles of projects...

There are a ton of things I want to do craft-wise, as usual. So many that I have a hard time even finishing one thing. I was working on crocheting baby pullover but then I stopped when it got to the sleeves, mainly because I am still very new to crochet and got a little confused without my crochet master sister there to tell me how to increase. Then I started working on my first crocheted hat, a baby hat, but I didn't like how the pattern was turning out, so I unraveled all of my progress and I had been crocheting all day. Now I finally settled on a spiraled blanket knit pattern (six years familiar with knitting!) called Ten Stitch Twist on raverly.com. It's an awesome website and I can just spend hours sifting through patterns.

Aside from yarn-related projects, my friend inspired me to make paper-crane decorations to hang, because she is doing the same thing. She said that she is over halfway with making 1000 cranes. Should have asked her how long that took. Also I would like to start making collages again. I used to do that all the time when I was a lot younger, but stopped and let writing and drawing take over. I miss it.

I also would like to make spiraled coasters, spiraled placemats, spiraled throws, but first I will finish this spiraled blanket, and all the other projects I never finished.
