I smiled and waited for the puzzled look and the ever <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">present</span> <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">hm</span>, but instead she said "I crochet". Oh joy I wasn't going to have to defend my self. I informed her that I too crochet, she <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">asked</span> me questions about what I was working on and I showed her how to cast on since she said she has knitted before but had <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">forgotten</span> how. I also showed how to do the cable stitches I was working (new found love), and we talked a little more. <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">Unfortunately</span> our clothes were dry and hubby needed to get ready for work so I had to leave, but it felt so nice to meet someone who did not think i was weird for knitting and crocheting in public.<br /><br /><br /> In pattern news I am still working on the dress pattern, its not hard I am just trying to balance it with <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">finishing</span> my other <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">WIP's</span>. The socks are going great, slow but great. I have <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">decided</span> to add cables to the sides once I get past the heel. I am knitting these two at a time toe up on a magic loop, since these are my first fingering weight socks in my size (10w ) and only my 4<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_9">th</span> pair total its slow going. I am also making hubby a pair of house socks since that is the only kind of hand knit socks he will wear, he is sock picky.<br /><br /><br />I am a big believer in giving to others in need, so I am going to be working on charity projects on top of my million other projects on my to-do list. The current project to be given is <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_10">lapghans</span> for the hospice my mom works at. She just got the job and <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_11">decided</span> she would crochet a couple of blankets to comfort her patients. She asked me to help her with getting a deal on yarn (I am an avid <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_12">craft store</span> coupon clipper) so i tole not only will i help get the yarn I will work on a couple myself. I just don't know when to quit, I am <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_13">masochistic</span> I know but I just couldn't resist. I love doing things for others. So now here is the current list of projects and their <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_14">time lines</span>.<br /><br />-my socks (winter)<br />-hubby socks (winter)<br />-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_15">kiddlets</span> dress (very soon)<br />-12" granny square <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_16">lapghan</span> 9 more squares (within the month)<br />-knitted cabled <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_17">lapghan</span> (within the month)<br />-<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_18">Dotees</span> 3 of them for a swap (Aug 10<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_19">th</span>)<br />-finish spinning first ever sock yarn (soon i hope its been 6 months)<br /><br /><br />Well <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_20">that's</span> all for now next week ill tell you all about hubby's new job, you are going to love it!

I have been crocheting on and off since I was around 8, and just got back into it a couple of years ago. I have since picked up knitting and bought a sewing machine, but I still prefer to crochet. You will see <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">alot</span> of my projects on here (one of the main reasons for this blog) and I will start with the 2 dresses I just <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">finished</span> for my little monkey (no not a real monkey silly, my little one). Oh and please excuse the mess we are sorting through her 200 stuffed animals and they are everywhere!!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjesjf0GZONBf4DiCI6NQzilueSrZTL-QaeqEB1KUwcS1NrMhabwPtRIyLChMr6nfwOFnT378dafinmMqCrZXS-2Nj7_duq4N7920gTvRMMw9JCtkeIdDGSfKD659V48J0SKc3AWiFM2W5O/s1600-h/002.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361342517155856754" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjesjf0GZONBf4DiCI6NQzilueSrZTL-QaeqEB1KUwcS1NrMhabwPtRIyLChMr6nfwOFnT378dafinmMqCrZXS-2Nj7_duq4N7920gTvRMMw9JCtkeIdDGSfKD659V48J0SKc3AWiFM2W5O/s320/002.JPG" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBF3UaQctpQqyT6_NRqlRhcUuVJQjMi5kiElm0KCvczSxW0u5gXxgxQDpmwjC_742O9A4JR-KNT3DNmR0JolsN8cXAeQvuNSWkkeWw8vlJngK0Ie_-h04X7U94fDiPuZcpQ-yp9A-znnZa/s1600-h/006.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361342527135428610" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBF3UaQctpQqyT6_NRqlRhcUuVJQjMi5kiElm0KCvczSxW0u5gXxgxQDpmwjC_742O9A4JR-KNT3DNmR0JolsN8cXAeQvuNSWkkeWw8vlJngK0Ie_-h04X7U94fDiPuZcpQ-yp9A-znnZa/s320/006.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkcxIQRQu05MSvbBV4zW5RsTOa1Gr1cgID3ZETog2tv-PC5Pf3fYCsALOUp_6HckoUaxeD_pgOa4lO_xZ4mPtYciebH_1L6iu3rpDwxk2_zi7Pgec8Z9-yMM5mhNv4F6hk_5Uhz0I-ZMOU/s1600-h/008.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5361342530831738242" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkcxIQRQu05MSvbBV4zW5RsTOa1Gr1cgID3ZETog2tv-PC5Pf3fYCsALOUp_6HckoUaxeD_pgOa4lO_xZ4mPtYciebH_1L6iu3rpDwxk2_zi7Pgec8Z9-yMM5mhNv4F6hk_5Uhz0I-ZMOU/s320/008.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />The yellow and green one is from a online pattern I found, and the multi <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">colored</span> one it from my own head.

I am a crocheter who sometime knits and rarely sews. I am in my mid twenties an have a three year old daughter. I finally got married this summer after three long years and I am about to start my second semester as a college student. I plan to use this blog as kind of a release, and to celebrate my accomplishments as I tackle all the new things going on in my life. You may at times find me a little strange...lords knows I do, so don't be surprised if something makes absolutely no sense what-so-ever!</span><br /><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span><br /><br /><span style="color:#993399;"></span>tazzsangelhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11095620938169147442noreply@blogger.com0
