Gotta love patterns... You start out copying a few free patterns, bookmarking them and sooner than you think, they seem to breed O_o I looked in my crochet/knitting folder and I couldn't get over just how many patterns I have now. Most, I haven't even thought about since I saved them. To date, I've only bought crochet patterns (before I found the wealth of info on the net...).
It seems like what I want to make changes as fast as the wind blows. One day, I'm obsessed with making a sweater (top down raglan) and the next day, I want to make wool socks. So far, though, I've carried through on a few small projects so I feel like I'm entitled to this ADD-like behavior. Actually, it's really hard not to see a great pattern and not want to make it.
At this moment, I cleared some of my needles of projects that just weren't getting done. Really though, at the moment, I"m fairly obsessed with making a cowl/tube scarf that I'm happy with. I made one with Bernat 'Black Magic' yarn but it turned out HUGE! It still works for the purpose but... it wasn't the way I had pictured it. I made it up as I went along so, I guess I had that coming LOL It was just a simple K2 P2 rib done in the round but I guess if I work hard enough, I can screw up anything =^p
Right now, I frogged the scarf that I was working on and am using the same yarn (Patons Shetland Chunky in charcoal) for the Not Quite Straight scarf
So far, I'm really happy that I frogged the first one. But now... I saw a 'pattern' of sorts for Priscilla's Probability Sweater
I could easily see that as a scarf. The idea is simple so we'll see...
I'm pleased with the progress on my tube sock(s). I'm almost done with the first one. It's not really hard but, I think I'll try to learn how to do 2 at the same time on circulars. I can DEFinitely see how you could get the first one perfect and make the second one slightly different O_o
I'm also interested in learning how to do entrelac. I got how to make the base triangles but... the rest... not so much. I've set it aside for the time being as I'm getting frustrated and that's not conducive to learning something new. I know several people have said that one you do it, it's insanely easy. I'll have to take their word for that one. One day, I"ll probably say the same thing to someone else that's wanting to learn this particular technique and I'll think back to when I was getting frustrated and throwing skeins of yarn across the room LOL
