Sew Dance

So, as I said, my HAED challenge piece has a very uninteresting first page (or two, three, seven...) However it did get cool for a few days so I did some crochet. Started this one. And restarted this one. Still can't get gauge, but I don't care. Maybe it'll stretch out with weight/rounds. Some new stash I mentioned. This was a mystery pack of an alpaca/silk blend from Expression Fiber Arts. I like the colors. Also came in the cute (matching) owl envelope behind it. And new fabrics. No clue what I'm putting on them. Maybe the MAP mystery from Ink Circles on the top right? More stash in the mail.

So this is what I've deemed my "Monday project" as it's very easy to pick up during commercial breaks for DWTS. I tried starting the Silver Medallion Throw. The first 9 rounds ended up being an inch smaller than the gauge, but I just went with it. Unfortunately, that's causing a waving issue with the next few rounds. I may have to start over and try and make it bigger. Possibly chain looser? I had the same issue with my turkey afghan. Therefore, I worked on this today and this same 9 rounds took far less time than the other. If you look at the top of the blog, I've made a new page listing all my WIPs. I will eventually put pictures with the list, but any suggestions on what cross-stitch I pick up next would be helpful.
