Stash Busting...or am I?
These little grannies are coming along. I used up all the stash I had left and put them together with white. I didn't have much of the white so of course I had to order some. So I went to the Deramore's online store where I purchased all these lovely colors in the first place and ordered the white. And since I was ordering I thought I better order more of the Lucy Pack because it is so darn reasonable, (priced cheaply) and the colors are gorgeous! So I have managed to totally defeat my purpose! Oh well, I would hate to run out of yarn. Now that would be scary.
I'm not sure that I am in love with the white although I love doing the join as you go. I am going to try to join them by adding another row on each so I can join as I go since...I ordered the Lucy Pack again! I know! It's a sickness. I just love these colors and I know I won't be happy with this cute little blanket until I get them joined the way I want to. No sense in spending all the time on the blanket it I'm not in love with it right??!!
By the way, they are calling for a huge snow storm in our neck of the woods starting with ice and rain tomorrow night, turning to snow and then accumulations of 6"-10". Now I know you east coast people just had a lot more than that and my heart goes out to all of you but...there might be up to 1/4" of ice on our power lines and tree limbs. It brings back nightmares from the ice storm we had back in 2002. I never want to go through that again. Anyway, if the weather guys are right, (sometimes when we have all these warnings and hype we don't get anything but...they got the east coast storm right) so watch out mid-westerners! So I have lots to work on and it would be so nice to just stay inside where its warm, (hopefully if the ice doesn't pull down all the power lines.) No...I am trying to stay positive here so...I will stay inside where it is warm and crochet the day away and not have to scrape the car or the sidewalk until Friday.
Getting back on track here, I am hoping that they will cancel everything on Thursday so I can stay home and crochet. I am also making the first of many Owl Hats for my daughter's friend. Her baby is due in March.

Happy Crocheting everyone!
Hola Eileen ahora esta mas alegre y viva esta manta sera una maravilla buen gusto besitos.
ReplyDeleteLOL on having to order more yarn. It's just the circle of life with crochet! I like the white! Maybe it will look different to you as you get more done! I keep threatening to do a blanket like this. I'm always ga-ga over those others who do white backgrounds...it sets off the colors so beautifully! Good luck with the snow and ice. Ugh, I don't envy you all that ice. It IS treacherous and a demon on the power lines. Stay warm!!!! Hugs, Annette
ReplyDeleteI get so annoyed when I type a whole long comment and then it won't publish and gets lost! Ugh! OK, let's try again...I feel for you with the need to buy more yarn when all you're really trying to do is use up what you have! It's a vicious circle - that has just lovely results. LOL I don't envy you the threat of ice and snow. And power outages are NO GOOD! Stay tucked away and have fun in your happy place of crochet! I like the white you are using...it sets the colors off so beautifully! Hugs, Annette
ReplyDeleteLove granny squares!!!
ReplyDeleteWanted to thank you again for the nomination...I finally had he time and post the questions and answered yr questions yesterday...
Thank you so much for the award. I feel honored !:)
You blanket is looking very nice! I wish you well with your upcoming storm... I know all too well what an ice storm/heavy wet snow can do to power lines trees and don't wish it on any one... stay safe and warm! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat colors!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! I just finished a granny afghan using the join as you go method and I really like it too. The white is really nice with the colors.
ReplyDeleteStay safe and dry in the coming storm. We're from the Midwest and know how nasty those storms can be.
Blessings,
Betsy
Beautiful colours. Love the white for joining.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the new stash.
The blanket will turn our beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou have so many grannies ready! Great job!
Lovely blanket - the colours are great! I'm desperately trying to use up my stash too but I keep adding to it as well. You're right, it is a sickness :) Elisabeth x
ReplyDeleteWowww Eileen.. the colors are beautiful when they go along with White.. you have already lots of granny squares.. waiting to see the completed blanket!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOrdering yarn is never a bad thing, think of it as therapy, it is a lot cheaper and it will keep you sane,

Typical when you try to stash bust then you some how talk yourself into buying more, but I totally agree...the pack is just too reasonably priced to not consider buying :)
ReplyDeleteIt is looking very pretty already...
