I’m taking an online class from Lisa Solomon and Katrina Rodabaugh. It’s a 4 week class and we’re learning all kinds of cool things to do with thread. The first week is all about crochet and let me tell you, me and crochet, we’ve never seen eye-to-eye. I’ve tried, many a times, to slay the beast that is crochet but my brain just can’t get around it. So I’m making a concerted effort this week to try and crochet enough stuff that I retain at least some of it. So, after some practicing and a couple of hot messes. I finally accomplished a granny square! Tah-dah!
Aren’t you proud of me? I’m hoping to try a round doily before the week is through… although I just realized it’s already Thursday. bummer. I’ve been neglecting all sorts of other things I should be attending too, like laundry, preparing for a very important phone interview, and writing some much tardy pitches for Red Tricycle articles. I’ll get caught up, I swear.
Oh! and I have sinusitis to add to my sick list for 2013. Sweet. Did I mention one of my toenails is falling off? I’m assuming it’s from being so sick. Even my toenails want to madness to stop.
Here’s some practice crochet that Lisa suggested I turn into a doll skirt. Tre Chic, non?
Tonight we’ve got a sitter coming over so we can go to first Thursday. I’ll post some pics. I just want to mention this is the second night time date since like, what, july? We have another one next week! We’re living large around here these days.
