Holy Slacker

No, the yarn didn't strangle me. Right now, I'm wishing it had. The Husband has generously shared his cold with me, and I'm so congested right now, it hurts to keep my eyes open. Ugh. So instead of laying in bed sneezing and wishing I could breathe, I'm going to lay in bed, sneezing, wishing, and updating! I've finished quite a bit in the last few months, so I'll try to make a small dent... In absolutely no particular order.

So this one here is a three strand baby blanket in Aruba Sea, Light Pink and Off White. I Instagramed it, so of course it looks distorted. This one I finished shortly before Christmas, and the customer decided to back out and not pick it up. Normally, I would just sort of chalk it up to a mistake, and move on. But the customer was a friend, and she knew how long and how much work this order took, so it really pissed me off that she bailed. Whatever. Cute pair of booties and this will go into my stock bin. Mooooooving on...





This scarf I designed in January sometime. It's recently gone to its new home, to The Husbands cousin (long story, I'm just calling it this way to make it easier.) This picture sucks a huge amount, which saddens me that you can't see the fabulous stitch I used. The flowers (the over exposed lumps on the bottom of the scarf) are roses crocheted with embroidery floss. Little H loved her scarf, as did Mommy T. All in all, this one was a definite success.












This blanket consumed most of my January. I was looking for ideas on baby gifts for 2 fabulous friends who are expecting, and I came across a blanket on Etsy that I loved... However, I'm a major cheapo, and couldn't justify spending $13.00 on just the pattern. The balnket itself was selling for $90.00, and I understand why. My version here took about a month to make, and the time, effort, and talent needed is worth so much more. Had I not been a crocheter, I'm not sure I would have understood the pricing... But I sure do now. Anyway, this blanket measures 35.5" W and 41.5" L. The Husband and I met said friends for dinner this past weekend, and they LOVED the owl blanket. I also made a little take along owl blanket to go with it. Once I find the photo, I'll have to add it.
This isn't all I've done in the last 3ish months, but I either can't find the photo's or I'm too tired to discern them from the hoard in my photo folder. Alot of the other things I've done are hats, basic cowls... I also did some pattern testing a while back, which I really enjoyed. I purchased a new hat pattern as well, which I've been DYING to work on, but I have other orders I need to finish first... After I go make a sandwich....  And tell you to come check me out on facebook! www.facebook.com/TangledWebDesign
