All Crocheted Out...
Sunday, I finished the "Seija Set" Baby Blanket from Stitch 'n Bitch, the Happy Hooker. Well, I ended up having to alter the edging since I didn't have time to finish it according to pattern, but it looked finished and that's what matters!
Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture in my haste to wrap it (yes, I was down to the wire THAT much! I ended up being 15-20 min late). Crap!
I basically crocheted all day Sunday like a madwoman, so I have given the hooks a rest since. *WHEW!*
I have a few more projects in the works. Here is an incomplete and somewhat-in-order list (to be organized once I gather my crocheting wits about me again):
- Blanket (Seija maybe) for another Shower (purple and cream colors)
- Shawl for MIL for Hanukkah/Holiday gift
- One-Skein scarf for Sister #1
- Ipod Creature for Hubby (he wants one, haha!)
- Gift for Sister #2 (I can't remember what I was planning)
- Other stuff that I can't remember off the top of my head
Lately I've been getting the knitting bug. I see everyone making comfy-looking sweaters, and socks, and I want to get in on the action. As much as I love crochet, there are certain things that just aren't the same in crochet, compared to knitting. It'll be nice to expand my horizons (But don't worry, Crochet...you will always be my first love).
PS: My toe is still a bit swollen, but I can wear shoes again! And I'm not walking funny! As long as I don't step on it too hard, bump it, or wear shoes for too long, it's not really a problem anymore.

I am so glad your toe is better! Foot pain is right up there with back pain, both suck. You know, you can learn to knit at group some week if you want. We totally forgot to bring beads & stuff to do stitch markers. Maybe I will remember this week. Doubtful but I will try!
Yeah, when I'm ready to start knitting again, you can bet that's what I'm going to do! My frustration with my last attempt was trying to figure out how to purl.
