Once again I'm joining Ginny at
small things for her weekly
yarn along.
Time has gotten away from me since last Wednesday and I haven't accomplished very much in the way of crocheting or reading. I haven't done anything on the tote project I posted about last Wednesday, but I have been working sporadically on two other crochet projects--an amigurumi snowman and an afghan square. Both of these projects need a lot more work before they look like much.
The snowman is my March project for the
Christmas ornament KAL/CAL-2011 on
Ravelry. The pattern for this little guy can be found
here on the Lion Brand website. It is free, but you must join to have access to their free patterns. He is my third amigurumi project and I am continuing to enjoy making these cute stuffed toys.
The afghan square is my April square for the
2011 Crochet Block-a-Month CAL, also on Ravelry. The pattern, Crown Jewels Square by Melinda Miller, is also a free pattern, and can be found
here. It is the fourth square for the afghan I am making for my grandson for Christmas.
I haven't gotten very far in
The Dollmaker since last week, but it is well-written and has captured my interest. I need to finish reading it by April 22 in order to discuss it at my book club meeting.
Looks like I have a lot of crocheting and reading to accomplish in the next week if I want to show more progress than I have this week.
