Yarn, Yarn, Yarn!

I'm proud of myself - I haven't bought any more yarn in two weeks!! I really need to finish some of my UFO's (un-finished objects) before I can start using any more of my new yarn, much less BUY any more new yarn! I finally bought a big plastic bin in which to store my yarn, and filled it up completely already.

Tonight is Stitch-N-Bitch with my friend Karen, we generally get together about once a week or so, to just work on our projects and hang out.

I'm currently working on two things - an afghan for a co-worker (yep, another) and a shawl for another co-worker's wife. The afghan is being made with yarn karen gave me, and the shawl with a "superfine" weight alpaca yarn in a lovely dark red. I have two more afghans I want to work on, but I'm going to finish at least one of my current projects before I start another. Really, I will!

Purple and Red, Complete!

I've completed one of the blankets I've been working on! It's for a woman I work with who loves purple, and I know she's going to love it.

This was done with Lion Brand Color Waves in Purple Vista and Sunset Red (apparently discontinued?). The pattern is the Sideways Shells pattern from Project Linus. I'm very happy with how this turned out. Yay!
