Well, I have just completed my second project, the Christmas gift of coasters for my mother. I feel like my first project looks a little better than this one. I was not paying too much attention to how different the coasters looked. Some are bigger than others, and I ran out of green yarn to make the last two. They may not all look the same, but they all do the same thing, which was the point I was going for.
Before I start my baby blanket, I will try to make my son a toque. I went to Micheals and told him to pick out a colour he would like for a toque. He initially picked a light blue colour, but for some reason, when he touched the yarn, he said no. I do not think he liked the texture of the yarn, and thus, he ended up picking a red chilli pepper colour. This yarn is thinner than the blue yarn, and if he is happy with it, I am happy with it.
My goal for this next project is to start and complete this in two weeks and get started right away on the baby blanket. I have not started the toque yet, but I hope to start tonight and see how much I can get through. I am feeling confident and hope when I am done, my little guy will like it!!
The coasters look great, I’m looking forward to seeing the baby blanket finished.
Function over beauty–love them! I tried to learn to crochet once; I was able to make a single dishcloth after a lot of frustration. I applaud your continued efforts!
Hello!
Loved your coasters – and that they are a Christmas gift for your mom. This years Christmas gift for my mom are couch covers – wouldn’t want to imagine crocheting or knitting those myself!
Do you also find crocheting/knitting really relaxing late at night? I love it as a way of managing stress, but am finding I don’t have time for it anymore.
