Online Craft Club: Santa gave me a present!
Posted by Alli on November 30, 2007
Twice a month I go to a knitting club. I crochet while the others knit and we all get a long just fine. We met again last night (I missed the previous meeting due to being in Vegas) and it was a small group- me, BA, and a new member named Scott. He just learned how to knit and has been working on scarves. He has been really excited about his new craft and spent some time at a local craft store that is closing.
Last night he came bearing gifts. Yarn he bought on black Friday (70% off!) that he didn’t like. So guess who got it? Me and BA! It was like a fun early Christmas present. The yarn is Moda Dea in orange crush. I immediately put my project to the side (I wasn’t thrilled with it anyway) and started working on a large rectangle.
The idea was to create something similar that I saw Uncommon Threads (it was a special episode on HGTV). I only caught the very end of the show, when they said it was just a rectangle and stitched up asymmetrically. If I had searched for it before I would have seen it was Tunisian crochet. But at Knit Wits I just started doing double crochet.
I’m a little excited to have a new project, and hope it goes from a work in progress to a finished object. Have something crafty to share? Put it up on your blog (works in progress, finished projects, and even the idea of a project welcome) and put a comment over on Cass’s blog. We would love to see it!
