all i want for christmas is a craft store gift card

The obsession continues.

I think I pulled a muscle in the back of my left hand, and yet I continue to crochet.*

The good news is, not only did I sell the burnt orange hat/scarf set to a bloggy friend, but I brought some things to a real life craft show and sold 3 hats and 6 scarves. Woohoo! I have the Christmas money I was hoping for!** And yet I continue to crochet…

Let’s just say a few of Josh’s teachers are getting scarves for Christmas. :) And maybe a few other people too.

Here’s a couple of lap blankets I made for the craft show but they didn’t sell. I’m not sure I’m happy or sad about that, especially since the orange/brown one matches my bedroom and I could, ya know, keep it. Both are a bit over 3 foot square.

Can you tell I like burnt orange?

I kinda like purple too, especially mixed with gray:

I swear I work in other colors besides purple and orange!

Like red. I love red.

Somehow this scarf ended up 8 feet long. No joke. I might not have been paying attention when I started it, I just kept on crocheting…

*I really do have other stuff going on besides crocheting and dealing with George. It’s all just too boring to write about. More boring than yarn and a cat? You know that’s pretty bad.

**And it’s quite possible I might spend it all on yarn at Michael’s and AC Moore’s Black Friday sales!

    Those are gorgeous! You really need to set up an etsy shop - you would do quite well, methinks!

    Happy Thanksgiving!!

    That purple and grey one is GORGEOUS!! I’ve never been good at crochet. It defeats me. You’re talented!

    I am so glad you are showing us your stuff! The first blanket reminded me of my favorite crayola color, burnt sienna! But the purple and grey is stunning. And yes, get the Etsy shop up and running!

    The blankets are beautiful! I really like purple with grey too, actually. Burnt orange is nice as well, but makes me look at a tomato, so I don’t wear it often. Or at all really.

    Anyway, I wouldn’t even offer the blankets to sell, but then again, your’re like some crocheting queen so I’m sure you could just crochet another batch up.

    I’m not that talented…
