Square 4: Blooming Granny

I just finished up my 4th sqare Blooming Granny and I'm about to start on my 5th, though I still need to go back and add more rows to my Maggie Square.

I decided my bed made a nice enough background for it.  It also looks as if I'm leaning towards an all blue/green color schemes for these first few squares except my first one.  But really it's just that I only have 8 colors of yarn total, and some of them just look ridiculous together.  I'm almost out of lime green and teal so it looks like I'll be going yarn shopping in the next few days!

Today I also got my very own copy of Twinkie Chan's Crochet Goodies for Fashion Foodies in the Mail!! I can't wait to start making scarves shaped like cupcakes and toast!

A Square A Day In May: Kata Square

I finally finished my second square. I had final exams last week and I got behind... really behind. ;) So now I'm playing catch up.

Here's my Kata Square. I really love the way the navy and the teal yarn look together.  It also turned out significantly less wavy than my first square.  I'm super happy about that.

My parent's new dog Joe was quite taken with my ball of lime green yarn, he thought it was a toy for him.  My dad had to rescue it for me.

I've begun my Maggie's Square, but I haven't finished my last few rows on it yet.  I think I'm going to add rows in between working on my other squares so I won't get a tired of it.

It's May!

A Square a Day in May started today, and I'm super excited about my first square! I've never crocheted anything from a written pattern so it was fun.  I think it turned out well even if it isn't 100% correct.

This was also my first flower! I'm very enamored with the color combination.  My roommate didn't believe me that this would become a square, she thought it looked more like a coaster.
