Just a quickie....

As some of you may have noticed Maggie had bangs in the pictures from the Puyallup Fair. That's because the girls decided it was a good idea for Bridget to cut Maggie's hair. Bridget essentially gave her complete bangs and cut a 3x4 inch hunk off by Maggie's ear. Maggie in turn only snipped a little of Bridget's hair which because Bridget already had layers in it was hardly noticeable. It's never boring around here....

The weather's started to turn (kind of, it's been crazy muggy and warm here) and the leaves are falling. Autumn is by far my favorite season of the year. I love everything about it. Since it has cooled off weather wise I dragged out yarn stash and found my hooks and promptly jumped back into crocheting. I love crocheting, but I'm really itching to learn how to knit and have promised myself I will learn by Christmas. I love crochet for either really big things like blankets, or really little things like amigurumi. I love the look of knit clothing (sweaters, hats, mittens and scarves), crochet clothing not so much. I'm working on a couple of different project right now both being blankets. One is a surprise for someone (who may or may not read my blog, so I'm not going to say who or what it is exactly yet) that is almost finished. It's actually kind of a pattern I've pieced together off of other patterns with an original final idea, if that makes any sense.



The other is a multicolored granny stripe blanket for Maggie. I saw the pattern and pictures of Lucy's on her great blog Attic24 and instantly wanted to make it. So far it's a fun blanket, very easy to crochet. The hard part is making myself stripe randomly with the colors since I usually am very much a pattern person.
