Woohoo, back to college. The past few weeks have been a flurry of packing, driving, unpacking, and lists of things I forgot. I have things laying about the room, and I can't seem to get organised. But who cares? I have a tote completely dedicated to my yarn! I'm a happy camper indeed.
So that's how my life has been. I finally have an Etsy set up, along with my Paypal, but I need to start powering things out that I can sell. Unfortunately, that can only happen when I'm not in class. I made the mistake last year of bringing my crochet to class with me, and I never got anything done. Well, as far as learning goes. I got a lot of projects done!
Speaking of projects, I'm currently working on a large scarf. I'm using Loops and Threads Country Loom, and I absolutely adore it. It works up very quickly, and if I had to complain about anything, it would be the fact that one skein only has 104 yards. But it is a super bulky yarn, so what can you do?
Once my scarf is done, I think I'll try playing around with warping the pattern into something that I can use for cowls, or skinnier scarves. Or maybe I'll make the stegosaurus that my boyfriend has been wanting. Chances are good that I'll tackle both at once and give myself a headache, so that will be fun!
Lovely segue there: headaches and fun. The fun bit is that I've finished my first large project, a blanket! It was a gift for a friend that was in the hospital (no worries, he's fine now). I used a nice wave pattern and whipped it up in about a week. The headache part is that my lip is swelled preposterously. I got my lip pierced last week, and it's a tad painful. So to distract myself, I've been tackling things like cross stitching. Now, I am completely enamored with cross stitching. It's so much fun, and I can tote around small projects easier than I can my crochet projects.
So yes. That's my life so far in college. More later.
