Yesterday, I unraveled my 106 stitch by 44 row crochet of a poncho that I have started at least 4 times already. This was the farthest I had gotten on it, only to hold it up and find the sides both laughingly uneven. I'm talking
inches off. Ah well.
As a reaction to this Christmas, I have started crocheting and will pick up knitting this year most likely as well. I also bought a
pocket knitter, which is sorta cheating, but it makes really nice stitching and it's really easy to use. Not a ton you can screw up with it.
Back to Christmas. With the gift of my grandmother's sweaters, it has become clear what I need to do to take back Christmas. I need to make gifts that mean something, at least to someone. I need to give my kids something that lasts longer than the Fisher Price Little People Airplane.
So I am getting crafty this year and making things. Poorly, but I'm still trying.
One slightly irregular keyhole scarf, black, gray, and (what turns out to look like) pink. I didn't get the colors quite right as I envisioned them in my head and there are some issues here and there, but otherwise it turned out okay.
