Shana vs. Yarn

Published by Shana | Filed under Crochet, Free, Knitting, Patterns

I’ve been trying to work through my stash yarn, and my progress is not particularly impressive. I’m maybe a skein down.

I’m loving my evenstar shawl, but the start of chart 3, which I was so very excited to reach, is apparently only a quarter of the way finished. The wind in my sails got a bit less gusty upon realizing that.

My study stripe shawl is less of a triumph. It’s not really bad, it just lacks awesomeness. I don’t love the yarn, don’t love working garter stitch, and really don’t love how I did my increases. I might finish it, but more than likely, I will try it again with bulkier yarn and a better attitude.

So in a desperate need to have the satisfaction of completeing something and having it turn out right, I started making washclothes and little scrubbies. I am already at my washcloth capacity, so speak up if you want them (assuming that you actually know me).

Uh, yeah, I have a paper due. Why do you ask?

I didn’t think the original washcloth pattern made much sense, though there are hundreds of finished projects on Ravelry, so I could be the slow kid. I re-wrote it based off what I think she meant. End result looks the same.
