First of all, thank you to those who have emailed me despite my blog silence. I am okay! While I am still a bit busy with Christmas stuffs, the silence has gone on longer than expected. Our Internet is still quite awful and I cannot always load blogs. I have been reading your posts through a bare bones reader, no backgrounds, no sidebar images, no avatars, etc. and that helps a lot, though I cannot leave comments that way. I had to give up reading some blogs (MrXStitch for example) because they do not allow the full post to show in the reader. I would feel guilty allowing comments without leaving comments of my own.

I must admit posting about this slipped my mind. Not that it matters much, since there was absolutely no stitching progress. On anything, really. Maybe I was subconsciously hoping that I would eventually have something to show.

This is
supposed to be June's rose. Maybe that is obvious. You can totally tell it's a rose from that speck of green that hasn't changed in a month, right?

I did finish two more squares for the pixel square afghan CAL (which has completed). I have decided I will do three extra in addition to the nine in the CAL to make a longer afghan. I don't like toes poking out when I snuggle down. The first one is the elf. I really like how he turned out. I have no idea what that dark blue yarn is, something dug up from the depths of the crafty inheritance, but it is so soft and fuzzy. The second is the wreath. It turned out about 1" smaller than the other squares. Why? I dunno! Perhaps I've somehow managed to crochet even tighter. I am about 3/4s done with the gingerbread man who is square #7 of 12. Slowly but surely. With Christmas gifts being worked on, I don't think this project will be done in time for the holiday.

I have been working on a scarf for my next knitting project. I love the yarn (Yarn Bee Soft Secrets) but I am so disappointed with how the scarf is knitting up. It is curling something awful. One of the ladies at the knitting group said I should be able to crochet around the edge and that will help. This project has been put on the back burner for now because there are other things that have deadlines!
I'd like to post about those things but, surprise, surprise, the 'net won't let me upload anymore. Bah humbug. Maybe since they're gifts they're better suited for GG which I will hopefully have up in a slightly more timely manner. Maybe I should start prepping the post now. Until next time~!
