A note on the patterns:
-
My patterns are no longer supported. I apologize for this, as I recognize that designers are generally held to a higher standard than that; we've come a long way from the days where spotting an error or some lack of clarity in a magazine left you mid-project, hoping they'd publish errata. My particular situation, however, makes it essential for me to have a blanket policy on this point and step back from these things that I have created and love so much. I appreciate your understanding and hope very much that these projects go smoothly for you as they have for many, many others. Take care, and may all of your yarn be free of knots! Deb

Slow week on the crochet front.
I went nuts making granny squares for a week or two, then stopped cold.
Factor 1? I finished watching the final 2 seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, which had been holding me hostage to my television most nights and thus creating the perfect conditions for exactly that sort of project-you-can-do-without-looking-at-your-hands.
Factor 2? My boyfriend brought home an Xbox. Hard to crochet when you’re playing video games. He’s a bad influence, I tell you. A very bad influence. 🙂
Factor 3? My job is making me want to beat my head against a brick wall. Which the crocheting is usually an antidote for, but the issues there are making my schedule screwy right now and thus interfering. Though I did help a coworker read a pattern this week, which was sort of unexpected and cool. She caught me knitting a dishcloth at lunch recently and now we talk yarn when we run into each other. It’s a good feeling to know that somebody in that nuthouse understands!
Hopefully actual pictures soon.
Dear cheap acrylic yarn from Wal-Mart,
Have I told you lately how much I love you?
You survive the rigors of being loved by a child. You come in many, many colors, both sane and insane. You are the perfect medium for granny squares, traditional and not, and the afghans they become. You make it possible to do work that I adore beyond measure, even in the months when the car needs fixed.
I may hang around with those fancy wools from time to time, but you’ll always be my best friend, the one whose known me since childhood, the one who is there even if we don’t talk for a while, the one thing in my crafting life that is irreplaceable. And I love you.
