Crochet, Crochet, Crochet

I'm on strike. I decided that I'm burned out on scrapbooking, too much stress and I just don't want to do it anymore. Everytime I tried to create something I'd get anxiety about it. Not worth it, in my opinion. I still have to do 2 layouts in the next few days for an assignment, but after that I'm on a semi-permanent hiatus.

So I decided to start crocheting again. I used to do it a while back, constantly, but I stopped when I was about 6 months pregnant. I mean, I was obsessed with it. I had 7 giant rubbermaid boxes filled with patterns and yarn. I even have a handy little organizer for all my hooksthat my mom made me when I turned 21. I made blankets, scarfs, baby clothes, sweaters, doll clothes (barbie - hard one's!).

When I went to CHA I wandered around the different craft areas and got the itch to crochet again, so after rent was paid, I hit walmart for some yarn! I started on a mauve afghan last Monday (March 7th), and I'm almost done. Then I'm going to do up a quick baby blanket for my cousin and his wife and mail it off to them in Maryland. Joey's hounding me to make him one, so I'll do his (mauve, sage, and offwhite chevron). I also got yarn for 2 more blankets yesterday - another one for me (sage green), and one for my friend Jen (burgundy, sage, white verigated). I'm pretty excited about all of them.

Heck, I even went and bought myself a tote bag from Red Heart yarn to carry my crap in when I go to work (crochet on the bus and on my break, lol).

I love crochet :)
