Boy Howdy

I tell you, when it rains it pours!

I have been out every night this week, and will be out Saturday and Sunday nights as well! Amazing week! This has been REALLY fun!

Of course, it has really cut down on my crochet time!

I have WAY too many projects going right now--time to get at least one of the suckers done and NOT start anything else!

Projects are:
1. Green/gold afghan for me
2. Hexagons of Hell afghan
3. The Kitchen stuff for my aunt (not due until xmas, so I have time on this one)
4. Lisa's afghan that I totally frogged and have to start all over again, dammit
5. The WTF sock--I WILL make the sock, I WILL make it!
7. The Daddyghan--this one is easy, I'm just waiting for the last of the squares to come. I've already got the joining yarn--it's gonna be a beaut!
8. The afghan my mother wants for her parlor settee

However, I have completed:
1. The third dishtowel of the set of three
2. Mom's pillow
3. My project bag (gotta take pictures of it)
4. My discholths--I love these things, so much better than sponges!

Okay--so my "done" list is way shorter than my "to do" list! BUT, I've been BUSY! LOL And I gave a birthday part for my 13 year old--12 boys and one lone girl--wild children, all of them! But just so funny, you can't really be annoyed with them!

Oh--another thing--both boys want hats--and they're not your normal hats--like crochet versions of fedoras--this should be kinda fun!!! But--it won't be any time soon!!!

So many uhhh, patterns, so little time!

OH no!!!!

ALL of my hooks are gone! My hooks, my stitch markers, my needles. . .I'm about to have a stroke!

I had my little case in my project bag. . . and when i got home, the yarn was there but my hook case was gone!

I hate this--some of my stitch markers were gifts and very pretty. . .my bamboo hooks, my steel hooks. . .all have to be replaced.

I'm just SICK.

I hate hexagons

Isn't that pretty? It's SuperMonkey's (http://www.ravelry.com/people/SuperMonkey ) Patchwork Throw.

I thought it was just gorgeous. So, I went out and bought this gorgeous yarn--Caron's county- and got to work.

Well, I've never done hexagons before. And you know what? I may never do hexagons again. I don't think I have ever been so frustrated with a project in my life! (I take that back--my mis-adventures crocheting with thread. . . ).

First try--didn't have enough stitches so the whole thing curled up like a hexagonal bowl. Then I got the bright idea to add and extra chain in the corners. WRONG. Finally read and re-read the pattern again. And voila--made one right!

Tonight, thought I'd try it again. After all, this will be the first afghan I actually make for ME. after I finish up a project for someone else, then I'll work on mine for a bit before going to bed. big mistake. As the frustration factor rises, the sleepiness factor slips away. . . .

Tonight's problem? I made two motifs. . . and then notice that they were PENTAGONS, not hexagons. ARGH!!!

Frogging it AGAIN and starting over. I am determined to make this. . . I have made much more difficult patterns than this!

But the pattern calls for 295 of these things. . . pity me!!!!!

2. Crochet objects I have completed (w/link to pattern if possible)
3. Mom Bragging Rights
4. My adorable furry kids, Jobie, Jedi and Clemmie
5. Dog rescues and other dog related stuff

So, there you have it!
