Lots o' excitement here!

I did my first test knit! A very beautiful shawl by Amanda Reed called Opulence! Once the pattern is established it's a very east knit! I even got to block it! This shawl is first piece that I've ever blocked. Had such a great time making it I plan on making it again!

I've also started making my first garment! I know!!! I couldn't believe it too! ;) Radiate is a one-piece cardi with short sleeves and so far it's fun! I'm on the 3rd increase row and haven't made any progress in at least a week due to work but I love the yarn and the pattern!

The saga of the continued crocheted troubles :(

Ok so the crochet troubles I was having has beaten me this time. I was wanting to make a baby ripple afghan that also has shells in the pattern. Well, I got all flustered early on and couldn't get my brain to back up. Has that ever happened to you?! Anyway, I decided since I only have 4 more months, I'll bypass the baby shells and just go for the ripple. I will have to make this blanket at least once it's beautiful! Heather Tucker is the genious behind the lovely pattern! You got me this time, but I'll be back! ;)

Crochet troubles :(

So I'm trying to make a little shell ripple afghan but I'm having some troubles. Row 4, yup it starts that early in the pattern :/, has me making gaps in the piece. I'm gonna go with it and hope it comes out the right way. Fingers crossed!
