OMG! Some photos! Thank you, Ravelry!

Well, last night I joined Ravelry.  I am hoping I can keep up with this blog, and my Ravelry page and still get projects done.  Projects being stuff around the house and my crafting items.  We shall see.  Since I hopped on Ravelry and added some of the projects I am working on there, I got motivated enough to take a couple of photos of some projects I have been talking about here.  Here are the few that I took so that everyone who stops by can get a look see at what is going on instead of just reading about it:

Matt's Marvin the Martian Hat - WIP



Geometric Tunic - WIP



A pair of socks for ME! - WIP



All still Works in Progress because I am spending too much time on the internet!!!  Well, and I have way too many projects going on.  LOL.  I just made up a drink cozy from a pattern a wonderful blogger shared for free.  I love it!  Sooooo easy!  Here is the link to her blog: CrazySocks Crochet, go check it out!!!  I linked directly to the coffee cozy pattern since she hasn't posted anything new since October.  If you look on the right side of her blog you can find a list of other patterns she has posted. Awesome!  I want to make the leg warmers, too!  I also just finished a quick little scarf and I am making a matching hat from a pattern out of 24-hour Crochet by Rita Weiss.  I am going to see if anyone will bite on purchasing it.  It will be sized for a young girl, around 7-10 years old.  So cute!  I am having trouble focusing on these projects I just posted pics of... it gets that way sometimes, and you crafters all know what I mean!  I also have a blanket in the works! LOL. If it wasn't bad enough already... I am going to run out of yarn for the size I want, though, and that is sad because I am broke and my car won't even make it to Jo-Anns anyway.  Besides two of the colors have dye lots. =(  However, I count that as my smallest obstacle because The blanket (my own creation! YAY!)  is worked with two yarns at a time of different colors and there are several color changes.  I WILL get photos up on that soon... and maybe even Matt's finished socks...

I am learning more about blocking and I know it isn't as crucial in crochet, but some projects do fair better with it, it seems.  The Geometric Tunic will be one of those...

Ok!  I am off for now. Gotta get up early and I still want to try and talk myself into working on ONE of these ABS (already been started) projects!  Crack the whip!!
