Sew Dance

My progress on Dancing Couple. The dragon filet. And look! I finished the lacy cami. A little too poofy for my tastes now that I finished it. Onto etsy it goes. Oh, if the 'skirt' looks different from the last time I posted it, it is. I ripped it out completely and redid it after realizing the 'v-stitch' directions were wrong. (They said ch 1, the remaining instructions always referred to ch 2) The change made the it a much looser, less poofy fabric. I still required an extra ball of yarn than the directions said I would. I didn't get as much done this week as I usually do. I had a two day job as a videographer for an equestrian event. Up at 4am, be there at 6am, show started about 8am, done around 5pm. I've included some pictures I took of the course (in between horses). The first picture is of my company for the morning of the first day. After this I'm really convinced I need to find a full-time...

I'm still on a crochet kick. After all, I keep ordering yarn. This was supposed to be my last batch, but I missed a crochet thread color and also, I'm running out of yarn for this top. And I had wiped out Joann's when I bought the three skeins (should've been 4 for this size unless I messed up somewhere). But, I did manage to finish not one, but two things I bought yarn for. First up, a little bag.   I have put beads on the ties to make sure the drawstring is secure since I took this picture. And then the afghan I showed you last week. Probably needs a bit of blocking. The border was a pain. I frogged it several times because even with the corrections I still think they were slightly off. But I managed to have a complete skein of yarn left over. I did start a few other things but I've come across discrepancies in the pattern. One may be my fault due to being new to tunisian crochet (does the first loop on hook count as the first stitch?...

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.
