It seems, like always, there's too much crazy and too many things going on in Casa De Solitaryknitter.
Since the last time I wrote, my mother in law moved back in to her own house. I guess she couldn't handle being around people who wouldn't put up with her BS. I'm still concerned about her health, and we check on her daily, but on the good side, my husband and I are less stressed (at least in the sense that we don't have someone living on top of us.)
I've been knitting a bit, but mostly crocheting. I've been incredibly scattered lately and haven't finished a single thing I've started. Awhile back Walmart had some promotional yarn. All it says on the label is Promo Fil, and Georga. It's 100% polyester, but honestly, it feels pretty nice. I bought 15 balls (they're 70 grams) and I'm making a simple granny square blanket. I realized that granny squares were the first thing I learned to crochet, and that I had made granny square blankets for others, but never for myself. So I'm just crocheting squares that take up the entire ball of yarn (13 round incidentally) and when I'm finished I'll sew them together and add a border of some sort. I'm a bit excited to have a blanket for myself that's not too holey. (I know granny squares are holey, but I do them with one stitch between clusters and it makes for a much smaller hole)
I know I'm rambling; sorry about that. Like I said, I'm really scattered these days.
A sweet friend of mine is pregnant and I really want to make something wonderful for her. I've gone through a ton of different patterns, getting in to the pattern a fair bit, then deciding I didn't care for it. I *think* I've settled on a star afghan. I'm a good ways in to it and it's turning out really cute. I'm using Bernat Baby Sport, in yellow, and an ombre in yellow, orange and white. I'll try to get a picture of it soon. Hell, I need to get pictures of quite a few things.
I think that's about it for now. I just wanted to do an update because I haven't in quite some time. I'm hoping things look up and settle down really soon so I can focus on a few things that I really need to get to.
