And let me tell you, that is a LOT of yarn. Of course, I knew exactly how much I'd ordered; but still, seeing it all together like that was a shock. So tomorrow I start on the Big Project. I will post pix and progress reports as I go along.<br><br> I do have some pix of baby hats that I made recently, so I'll share some of those today. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XTxaIG9tedk/RwMbu4yutTI/AAAAAAAAADU/94dHFgIvxPw/s1600-h/proof+144+COPYRIGHT.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_XTxaIG9tedk/RwMbu4yutTI/AAAAAAAAADU/94dHFgIvxPw/s200/proof+144+COPYRIGHT.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5116964093956109618" /></a><br> These are photos of baby Stryker, taken by Erin of <a href="http://www.bellavitaphotography.us/" target="_blank">Bella Vita Photography</a>.

It looks like he's wrapped in clouds, doesn't it? Both of these hats are in <a href="http://requin.etsy.com/" target="_blank">my Etsy shop</a>, and I am going to add the blankets soon as well.<br><br> I have also been working on a crocheted cauldron. I'm almost finished; I just need to add the loops and handle. The cauldron is part of a pattern I found <a href="http://www.sarahanns.com/crochetworks/witch.html" target="_blank">here</a>. It turned out really well. I'll have pix (hopefully) tomorrow.<br><br> That about wraps it up for today. More patterns, photos, and updates to come.<br><br> Blessed Be,<br> Melissa<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5840017570109411379-1191748915680055690?l=requinscrochet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Requinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08151468712882068846noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5840017570109411379.post-86713364750610618482007-10-01T16:02:00.000-10:002007-10-02T18:41:09.631-10:00<span style="font-size:100%;"><span style="font-family:times new roman;"><span style="font-size:100%;">Okay, I'm new at this whole blogging thing, so play nice. I started this blog to have a place to post my projects, patterns, and updates on how everything is coming along. I am going to try to post regularly, but no guarantees on that.<br><br> What's going on right now:<br><br> First and foremost, I am waiting for my husband to come home from his deployment to the Sandbox. We are at the less-than-2-weeks mark now. Yay!! We're actually at a point where I'm comfortable starting the countdown. Tick-Tock! Tick-Tock!<br><br> I started Medical Transcription classes on 17 September, so my crochet time has been cut a bit. I'm still working in some time each day for crocheting though.<br><br> I am waiting on yarn I ordered for a commissioned project. I had a request to make a Queen-sized Ripple Afghan in black wool for a local gentleman. Now, being as we live on a tropical island, there's not much call for wool yarn around here. (I actually did find one, yes, <span style="font-style: italic;">one</span> whole skein of black wool at Wal-Mart.) BUT I found a great sale on Merino wool yarn at <a href="http://www.joann.com/">Joann.com</a> last week and was able to order what I need. As soon as the materials arrive, I can start work on the afghan. I'll post updates and pix as they come about.<br><br> Blessed Be,<br> Melissa </span></span></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5840017570109411379-8671336475061061848?l=requinscrochet.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Requinhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08151468712882068846noreply@blogger.com1
