\"\"Here are some photos of the recent projects I have been working on. The yarn that I dyed with Easter Egg dye and was all dyed together yielded an interesting dye pattern. I am fascinated how this turned out and will try this again. I liked the yarn, which I purchased at Webs<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"The remainder variegated yarn that was too much to add to my mystery ball without being overpowering have been put together in this colorful afghan. Instead of completing a certain number of rounds in this large granny square afghan, I complete as many rows as I can. There are a couple of colors that have an odd number of rounds or incomplete rounds. The black pulls everything together. I wasn\u2019t sure about this at first, but as I have progressed through this afghan and tried to go smallest amounts of variegated to largest, it\u2019s starting to grow on me.<\/p>\n

There were several reds and variegated red skeins in my working stash. I decided to make a mitered granny afghan with large swaths of red separating the variegated sections. It’s shaping up well, though I didn’t have enough of the red that I started to use, so fortunately I was using a non-dyelotted yarn from a big manufacturer and just bought a bit more to finish up this\u00a0 one. It’s fun only working on two sides and it works up quickly.<\/p>\n

Everything isn\u2019t all roses in crochetland. I have a scarf that I have been working on and I have decided to abandon it because the plies of the yarn are too \u201csplitty.\u201d I have tried different hooks and a different stitch pattern. I think this was just a defective skein. Twisting it just a little bit more has made it better, but I\u2019ve put it aside too long and it\u2019s been floundering for several weeks. (Generally, I complete a scarf a week, along with working on other projects, so I\u2019m done with it.) I\u2019ve had it for a while and it was a gift, so I will just take my hook out and put it in a bag for donation. Someone else might not have the same issue that I have with the yarn. It\u2019s ok, but there are so many other great yarns that I have that I don\u2019t want to waste time on a project that I don\u2019t enjoy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
