Changes and Updates-Personal and Blog
Now part of the reason I haven't updated was because bunny said that crochet was causing a problem in our relationship. It wasn't really but he was looking for anything to use as an excuse. The real problem was something different and it has been dealt with. The big reason I haven't updated was also partly because I was just buying yarn and not making anything with it. I'm starting on projects again and plan to get caught up on some others.

Mystery CAL
So I need a total of 7 balls of yarn Color A(2), Color B(2), Color C(2), Color D(1). I have already bought the yarn and have labled them CA, CB, CC, and CD. Now I've been looking forward to this because I found a MCAL that happened last year. I missed out on it then and that really makes me sad. Going to try to participate in this one.

This is a lot to do. I'm going to go shopping virtually and see what I can find and maybe get some tips from some fellow crocheters on how to do the graphghans. This is going to be fun.
Okay so I saw the person who requested this and had given him an estimate of how much it would cost for the yarn. I didn't calculate for the taxes and did tell him that when I gave him his copy of the list. What I calculated was about 326.50, keep in mind I rounded all prices to the nearest $.50. So I hope to have money by Saturday/Sunday so I can go shop on Monday/Wednesday. So that way I can get started on that stuff for him.
Also the baby's name has changed. After I already got the graphs printed.
For those wondering about the payments thing at the bottom I'm just doing that so I can keep track of the payments made and what he still owes me.
---
Second haul done. Got stuff for the hats/booties/gloves. Again budget of $40 and he knew I was planning to get the stuff for anything but the blankets. This is going so well.

Corner 2 Corner Harley Davidson
Now I planned to make both of them blankets at some point with the Harley logo. One in black and orange for dad and the other in black and pink or all pink for the hubby. Well I found some pink yarn I was saving for him anyway for a special project. I decided that I would use that yarn to start the blanket. I have been doing a lot of research into graphghans on my own and looking for the best way to do them. I finally settled for a stitch that I have heard works up quickly and is easy to do. Yes the Corner 2 Corner stitch. I started it last night and am about 13-14 rows in and only worked for maybe an hour-hour and a half.
So I know when I give it to him I'm going to have to include a pack of tissues and will probably also have a print out of this explaining why I wanted to make it for him. So him and I will end up with matching ones...well as close to matching as a pink and green versions of the logo can match.
Above is the version of the logo I'm using to do this with and I used the graphing site that Mikey has shared with us. So if you wish to use the same site and logo it will be a 5 page print out. The first being the logo and thread used to create it(the site is for a cross-stitch pattern). The next 4 pages will be the logo broken down into different sections. I'm working from the top left down to the bottom right and am planning to add in two rows around both sides and top.

American Bison
So this is a paid pattern. Not one I was to happy with as I bought 4 of them at the same time and had to buy two of them again. Not happy with that. So I bought the yarn and some lighted hooks.
So with this one I have had to look up a stitch because the explanation isn't easy to read. This stitch will drive me nuts for a while but hopefully Grandma D. will like it. Yes I have started to label grandma's because I have two of them my in laws and my blood.
Will update more as I go.

So I've finished with my Stitch, Stop & Roll. I really like the colors so I'm using them for the colors for this as to save myself some money. Now I don't have black or orange so I'm subbing white for orange and black is going to be a die roll. I only have 6 out of 7 colors hence the die roll. So I will have numbered the colors and roll putting the replacement color in () next to black.

Bunnies! Bunnies!
So I have twin nieces who I didn't know were going to be in town. They live in AZ and I'm in CO. With them being in town this weekend we are having a birthday party for them and I'm making them each a bunny. One will be pink and one will be yellow. Same but different.
So I have one bunny done. Working on the second one. I feel really bad because we missed the party. Hubby and I didn't get to sleep til about 3ish I had an alarm set for 7 so I could make the second bunny. Well I slept through the alarm and so did hubby. We...okay more like I got up at 5 til noon. We missed the party. So I will see if we can mail the bunnies to them.
So I can't give up the first bunny so I'm keeping it and will be figuring something else to make for the girls. I couldn't help it I fell in love with him.

Stitch, Stop & Roll Afghan-Challenge 1
I was hoping this update would be the original post linking it to the challenge but I'm not able to find that page on the website. So I'm going back through and searching posts to find it. I will update later. Alright I've searched and searched and can't fine the original post. So I guess this isn't really a challenge any more. Just a Crochet Along. Wait correction I found it! I have linked above as well and once my laundry in the washer is done I'm going to take a shower and go get my kit!
Alright I have my kit and I am working on it right now. Currently I'm doing the starting row on each of the Motifs. I'm using the written pattern as well as Mikey's video pattern that is linked bellow. So far so good but it's just 18 dc around. I'm sure it's going to get harder than again it is marked as Intermediate.
So as I have been following along with the video and pausing to do all 9 motifs. I think it's silly but I'm doing it and pretty sure it will be easier on me in the end. I just need to sit and do it instead of jacking around online while doing it. So I am still keeping track of rows with my stitch counter so I know where I am and can try to figure out where to skip a head to in the video.
Well I'm thinking about changing my bag for the project because I'm running out of room in my current box/bag. Not because of yarn but because of the actual motifs. They are getting large. I would say about the size of a small bag of popcorn. I'm only on row 8 or 9 of 19. I have 2 to finish getting caught up to the next round. Yayness! I hope and think I should have this done by the deadline.
Update 3/1: Well....I failed sadly. I wasn't able to finish it as I had hoped to.
