Sew Dance

The baby blanket is complete. I had 4 days off and managed to complete up to the first row of part 7 of the Summer Cal. Spent some time fidgeting with one row and then forgot a repeat of the crossed stitches, so that ate up time redoing it. Plus other things I needed to get done. There's a pardoned turkey outside a local supermarket. Clyde on the stairs. I just noticed how monochrome this photo is.

So I just realized I have a little over a month until Christmas. And I have a lot of presents and gifts to make, mostly crochet. So while the squares are complete for the afghan, sewing them together will have to wait. Also wasn't looking forward to it. Maybe I'll block them while working on other things. Such as this baby blanket that was requested. I'm over halfway through the yarn I bought so maybe another day or two? Also bought 6 kits during Lion Brand's sale. I got a box of yarn in return. Still have to make sure everything is in there, but I've been putting it off. And Clyde doesn't like the flash on the phone.

Enclose my credit card in a block of ice. I bought entirely too much yarn this week. But first, I finished the baby blanket. As for yarn, below is a what has arrived at my house so far. The top photo is what I bought at Joann's and Michaels'. The bottom is what I ordered for that dress I showed you a picture of last week. I also have more which should arrive Monday. Except for the pile on the bottom (not including the blue over on the left), and the ruffle yarns on the upper right, they are all for specific projects. Namely the following (free) patterns found via ravelry or the maufactuer's site. Can you tell what's for what and hasn't arrived yet? I did start two already. Here's the 'lacy cami' and the 'blue mandala throw' Now excuse me while I hide my credit card and wait for my other yarn to arrive.
