New Project

I've been making a baby blanket for my friend Rusel, and I only have four more inches to go, so I decided to do something a little different for my next project. I bought two skein of Vanna's Choice yarn in Purple Mist when I first bought my crochet hooks. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with them, but I figured that maybe I could just use the yarn to practice my stitches or something like that.

Turns out that in one of the books I bought there is an easy pattern for a scarf. I happen to own a pair of gloves with similar colors, so I thought making a scarf might be a good thing to make. I started it tonight in case I finish the blanket while I'm at work. I don't like to do the border at work, because the first part includes counting stitches. It's distracting enough to count to 184 when I'm home alone, and in a staff room full of people, I don't think I could do it without pulling some of my hair out.

When I'm finished with the blanket, I'll post some pictures of it, as well as pictures of the first one I made. Both of them are the same pattern, but the type of yarn used makes them look different. I can't wait to give them as gifts. :D
