OOOH So Many Comments!!!

thank you all for your nice comments. this is fun!

well now that i know i have readers, i'll have to make an effort. oh god the pressure. anyway, since i read mostly knitting and crocheting blogs i figured that i would show my work as well. i'm not entirely sure if this will become a forum for my more creative endeavors, but whatever...

lately i've been doing a lot more crochet than knitting. mostly because, i usually knit sweaters and crochet non-wearables and i've gotten too fat to even contemplate spending time knitting myself a sweater only to feel like a shlump wearing it. so here's some of my stuff.

these are two scarves i made using the same exact stitch but with different sized yarns and crochet hooks. i believe the light green one is made with Patons Divine. the purple one was made with some mohair i had leftover from an old sweater.

these are some flowers that i crocheted using Landscapes from Lion Brand Yarns. i was intrigued by the colors and i couldn't pick just one, so i just bought them all. not knowing what to do with such a thick yarn, i made these flowers. landscapes can be felted apparently, so i'm going to throw them all in a hot wash and see what happens.

finally, this is a detail of an afghan i just finished for my friend kate's wedding coming up in june. she doesn't know about this blog so there's no risk of her seeing it ahead of time. if you can believe it, i made this with Sugar 'n Cream using a pattern i found in Simple Crochet by Erika Knight. sugar n' cream -- it's not just for dishtowels anymore.

i probably shouldn't have shown you everything all at once. now, what will i post?

i'm sure i'll come up with something.
