12 Knits of Christmas

If you are an avid reader, you know I talk about Ravelry alot. its a great source for patterns, yarns, and people who share the obsession of all things yarn.
I am in a ton of groups... some I contribute to, some I just read posts , and a few are charities I try to help out when I can. I started a group last year for my Halos of Hope New England team.

The group I mentioned in the subject , 12 Knits of Christmas, is where people make a list of items they want to crochet or knit for friends and family for Christmas. Last year I finished 3 items. I am starting late this year and I haven't made a list yet. But I know I have to make a Mario blanket for my boyfriend, an Eeyore hat and Winnie the Poo blankie/stuffed animal for my great niece, a pair of slipper socks for my boyfriend, and a few cat sweaters for my cat.. that's about 5 or 6 items so far.

here are 6 granny squares I made for my boyfriends blanket.. 246 to go! :)

YOP year 5? Seriously?

I can't believe it's year 5 already....... this is my 3rd year participating. The last few days have been productive for me .I made a schedule for the next few months so I stay on track. I STARTED and FINISHED the Zero lovey that was part of my hook challenge. It will be given to my cousin Ryder ( I really like that name ) due in October. I played with the pictures a little in editing. Its something different. ****** I got on the C2C bandwagon and started a few of my own. It is so addicting!! I love this! I ran out of yarn for this one........ so I started this one. ( full skein not pictured) ****** Also, I "dusted off" the Boston Bruin Blanket squares and started sewing them together. Its a bit tricking as you can see.... Why do I punish myself.. hehe my full project list can be found here .
