Fingerless Gloves

Image
 Yo! How are all you guys and gals (gals and guys?) I'm doing good...trying to dream away this summer heat though. So I made fingerless gloves! With my double knit Special by Stylecraft.  I personally hate gloves with fingers. Because the fingers are either too long or too short, never just right. Fun right?  So when I started getting back into crochet one of the first things I made were fingerless gloves. But, last winter, I sort of ruined the only pair I had made for myself by using them to scrap ice off of my car during the Ice storm in Dallas. Like the sneak peak of my dad's afghan? So I made another pair! I like this pair better because I like the yarn better. I don't know if they'll be warm enough yet, because it's not cold and I can't test them. But they work great otherwise, they fit and I can still type and crochet with them. Woo!! Sola Fide Bliss

Birthday Afghan and My Alien

Image
Guys! You have NO idea how stupidly proud of this afghan I am. It's the first full sized one I've made and oh my goodness was it a PAIN in the hiney to work on.  As you see I started with blocks and then went in rounds, and then added more blocks. That was NOT the best of ideas...trust me don't do it!! But by the time I realized it wouldn't work I had made all those smaller blocks...I had to frog and add until I could make them work. xD  Then I did more rounds...but it wasn't get long enough!!! So I went from rounds to back and forth rows. I did ten on each end, and then a couple more rounds and by that point it was plenty wide enough and I was running out of yarn. So more back and forth it was! I thought I was never going to finish it in time for my dad's birthday (July 11th). But I did!!! I was a day early in fact..and I breathed the BIGGEST sigh of relief when I finished it I promise you.    It took roughly 2 months, with a few other projects betwee
