Stash Busting

Hello Friends...I've been in a bit of a stash busting mode lately, trying to use up bits and bobs of yarn before going out and purchasing new yarn.  Dishcloths are the perfect small item to take care of the task.  Plus they are quick, fun and easy.  Check out my latest multi-colour creation...

The pattern is called Tricolour Sand Stitch from my new favourite book:  The Complete Photo Guide to Crochet, by Margaret Hubert.

Crochet Cowl

Hello Friends...

Just wanted to share with everyone this pretty cowl I made as a custom order.  I love this yarn (Red Heart, Light and Lofty), it's so soft and chunky and super quick to work with.  This cowl couldn't be easier to whip up...I simply chained enough stitches to measure appox. 26" and hdc'd my way up until it reached about 8" wide.  I then added two matching buttons for easy closure.  Honestly, total time working on this project was no more than an hour.  What do you think?  A little warm for our coming summer, but will be perfect for the fall...

Unfinished Business...

Hello friends...I've been trying to complete some projects that I'd had started some time ago, then abandoned them for something else.  Do you ever find that once you start something, about part way through in your mind your on to the next project?  Sometimes I get so excited about the next idea, that I completely drop what I'm working on.  Although I try not to have too many things on the go, sometimes it's nice to go back and rediscover what was interesting about those W.I.P.'s.

I finally got around to finishing what started out as one potholder and dishcloth set, and added another potholder, to finish up some of my stash.

How many projects do you typically have on the go??  Are there any that simply never get done?  Do you frog your work often and restart on something completely new??  Or, are you a one project at a time worker.  Love to hear your comments...
