<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I began my Scrappy Hexagon Blanket last night and completed 3 motifs. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Doesn't look like many people are interested in a Scrap CAL at this time, but if anyone changes their mind, feel free to jump in. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Sarah, at <a href="http://sarahsweethearts.blogspot.com/2013/02/a-scrappy-cal-with-friend.html">Sarahsweethearts</a>, is working on one as well if you want to follow her progress; her colors are gorgeous.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I decided to do my final round in off-white since I'm using such a mishmash of colors. And, I thought doing a round of off-white within the motif might help unify all the different colors too.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Friday, I posted about doing a scrap project. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I decided to do <a href="http://novamade.typepad.com/novamade/2010/01/the-coolest-thing-ive-ever-made.html">Ruby's Hexagon Blanket</a> pattern this time around. My friend Sarah, over at <a href="http://sarahsweethearts.blogspot.com/2013/02/a-scrappy-cal-with-friend.html">Sarahsweethearts</a>, is going to do this blanket also and already has a few motifs made up. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>(PDF Download Available on <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/ruby-hexagon-blanket">Ravelry</a>)</i></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">You don't have to do this particular blanket. Any project, large or small, is fine. Only caveat, you must use your scrap yarn! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">No pressure, each of us just working at our own pace. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Anyone have any ideas for a scrap afghan?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I want to use up some of my smaller bits of yarn...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I could do a traditional granny. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I think I have enough black or dark brown for the final round to tie it all together. I made this one as a gift quite a few years ago...</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">At his request, I made his birthday dinner this past Saturday. I picked up some rib eye steaks and made asparagus casserole and baked potatoes. For dessert, he always requests chocolate cake with chocolate icing. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Then, yesterday (on his actual birthday), I did spaghetti sauce and meatballs in the crock pot and made a <a href="http://www.tasteofhome.com/Recipes/Low-Fat-Cheesecake">Low Fat Cheesecake</a> for dessert. I've made this cheesecake numerous times and it always comes out good. I didn't want a real NY-style cheesecake hanging around the house tempting me. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I said to my son this morning, as I was changing the water in the vase, "Wasn't it thoughtful of Daddy to bring me flowers?" </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The pattern is called Winter Warm-Up and is from the book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Vannas-Favorite-Crochet-Gifts-Available/dp/0848724526">Vanna's Favorite Crochet Gifts</a>. I used Homespun yarn (from my stash) to complete the project. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I had originally intended to give this blanket as a gift, but I'm not 100% happy with my results, so this will likely be donated to Good Will. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">In hindsight, there are a couple of things I would have done differently. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I went down a hook size based on the yarn manufacturer's recommendations, but didn't add any repeats to my foundation chain. This made the body of the blanket too skinny. I thought I might be able to widen it with a few rounds of border, but then thought that would look strange. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It was either frog it and start over or finish it and donate it. I decided to finish it and donate it. Hopefully someone will enjoy it for a few dollars from a local charity shop, or re-purpose the yarn for themselves. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">It was a good quick project and kept my hands busy as I've been recuperating from my knee injury. Which, by the way, still continues to improve. I hope to get back on the treadmill next week.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Happy Monday and I hope your week is off to a great start!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">The yarn I ordered recently arrived! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">Isn't it gorgeous? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">OK, I have a confession to make.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: large;">I have never, ever ordered from Knit Picks before; but I believe:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><i>"Louie, this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Casablanca (1942)</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This yarn looks so scrumptious to work with, I can't wait! </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I felt like I deserved a little reward for the stash busting I've been doing. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Which is why, I believe, fellow crocheters and knitters will always have yarn on hand for the next project.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">One thing about Homespun is they certainly know how to blend the colors beautifully. I'm really enjoying working on this blanket...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">Well, it's a love-hate thing...</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">I made this many moons ago for my mother, it's called called Winter White Warm-Up from <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Vannas-Favorite-Crochet-Gifts-Available/dp/0848724526">Vanna's Favorite Crochet Gifts</a>. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;">This color is called Sierra and has pretty golds, pinks, browns and olive greens throughout.

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I started working on Project No. 2 on my stash busting journey. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It's a small project, but it's using yarn I already have.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It's a baby blanket.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Our church has a Sanctity of Life Sunday coming up soon. They will be collecting items to donate to one of the local pregnancy care centers; diapers, formula and layette items. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I wish I had thought of it sooner and could have made more blankets to donate. Hopefully, I'll be able to get a couple made in time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">I'm using more I Love This Yarn from my stash. I must have REALLY loved this yarn at one time, because I have a lot of it to use. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Hope your week is going well. I've been busy with school and keeping the house running. Hubby has been sick and I'm hoping he'll be feeling better soon. He's been working long hours at work and then being sick on top of things makes for a tired man. He's a hard worker and I'm very thankful for him.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">Our snow is melting here, but I'm sure the cold temperatures will be back before we get a true spring.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">It's double-stranded, making it extra heavy. Since it's made in strips, it makes for a fast moving project. I enjoyed working on it over the holiday.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">A couple days before Christmas, I was itching to start on a project. I didn't want anything difficult and I wanted to use some of the stash I have in my "yarn closet". </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">So I searched for something that would use up a good quantity of yarn and be warm. This double stranded crochet blanket seemed to fit the bill. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used both of these patterns for inspirations; <a href="http://inspiredcrochetdesign.blogspot.com/2007/09/free-pattern-lumberjack-flannelghan.html">Lumberjack Throw</a> by Michelle at Inspired Crochet Design and the <a href="http://www.alpacabytes.com/2010/06/04/fiber-arts-friday-flannel-blanket-pattern/">Country Flannel Afghan</a> from Dutch Hollow Acres. A lot of people have made Michele's Lumberjack Throw and she has a link on her pattern page to all the pretty ones that have been made.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv90CDbo-oVh7xalsGz54bI8uV96OBEmJny3-jRW4dgEhCSOmADpibQLYJmwoipbjc4EiDh6D_Hl3UTlM-dn-hjLd0Jn8gahx8-YH8juB2GMgd6yB9jURT-VmJbZfRSSiGXFbU2Ve6pCyn/s1600/New+Camera4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="394" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv90CDbo-oVh7xalsGz54bI8uV96OBEmJny3-jRW4dgEhCSOmADpibQLYJmwoipbjc4EiDh6D_Hl3UTlM-dn-hjLd0Jn8gahx8-YH8juB2GMgd6yB9jURT-VmJbZfRSSiGXFbU2Ve6pCyn/s640/New+Camera4.jpg" width="640" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It would probably look better with a solid vs. a variegated. I may have enough to do a blue and cream one if I feel like making another one later. I was curious to see how it would look in the variegated though. The yarn has a rustic look, so I thought I'd do a more rustic seam.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I decided to do a single crochet join (on the right side) using one strand of each color. I thought is would be something different anyway.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Hubby got me a new camera for Christmas, I've been having fun playing with the different settings. </span></div>
