WIP Hiccup

February 8, 2012October 10, 2012Nicky8 Comments

So … what had happened was … after I came back from my vacation last Thursday, I cut my right index finger. I mean really bad. I went back and forth on if I should post what the cut look like but I didn’t think I should gross anyone out. 😛

That means that my Dolores Park cowl is still at the point it was last week and the crochet blanket I wanted to start for my cousin who’s having a baby in April will have to wait until my cut gets better in another week or two. Yep, that’s how deep the cut is. 😦

So … I know it sucks … but here’s Dolores in her “same as last week WIP” state. 😀

and the pattern photo of the blanket I want to try.

It seems easy enough for a crochet newbie like me. Although the stitch pattern is not actually a beginner one, I like a challenge.

Pop over to Tami’s to see the other WIP Wednesday projects. There’s never a lack of inspiration — knit or crochet.

1 – 2012: Herringbone Neck-Warmer

It’s almost the 15th of the month and I haven’t picked up my knitting needles. Enough of that!!!

I found the perfect pattern to get me started this year — the Loops Yarn Herringbone Neck-Warmer. This will also be the first project in my stash busting efforts. I’m on a yarn-diet for the year — at least until October — but I’m sure I’ll be able to find yarn I can use in my very large stash.
