The Stitch is Right

So I'm starting the second contest of the year.  I'm sorry about lack of link because I'm posting for my phone.   This one will be based off wheel spins and I will be recording them here.

I won't be using using normal colors I will be going through my scrap yarn/stash just to use some of it up so I will just go with like for example color 4 it will bet the 4th skien I pull out.  Each day will have at least one spin but depending on how quickly I get it done I might do more.  Each spin will be dated with little areas for additional spins if needed for the extra stuff.

So here will be my thoughts as I work.  So far noticing that I've got a lot of Stitch 5.  Well I guess I know what one I will be doing and getting to know really well.  Alright off to grab yarn and get started.  Then posting my good karma.

So if you keep checking this to see what I'm doing and are wondering where I am at I have done some corrections.  I now have my final product if I have to spin multiple times marked with a star.  I have each row/spin set listed as Rows and now have a check box to help me know what ones I've finished.  Just so I can keep track of it all.  Now some colors have changed because I did go and get more yarn today and so my stash has grown a bit more.

Crocodile Stitch Glaves

I love this stitch.  I really do and I have wanted to make something with this stitch for myself and I got an interesting color of yarn.  It's called Pink Camo and it's a mix of pink and green and is so pretty.  I really love the look and it was on sale.  Makes things even better.  Okay so maybe I do have a problem.  Maybe I should start going to meetings...nah.

The Pattern
Well I'm working on the first one.  Had to frog it so far once.  I was dc ch 1 skip 1, dc ch 1 skip , when its supposed to be dc ch 1 dc ch1 in same st, skip dc ch 1 skip.  Didn't realize it undil I hit them while doing the scales.  I was like 3 scales from being done with the round...yeah.  Also really quick sorry for any spelling mistakes right now.  I need to change contacts and I've got gunk on these ones and I am waiting until bed to take them out.

Good news I have the first pair done.  Yes first pair done.  I have two more pairs to make.  One for a friend and one for mom-in-law.  Was worried about not getting the first pair back from mom-in-law.  I'm excited about them.

Baby Blankets

So I'm dedicating this post to the blankets I'm making for my niece and peanut.  So you know peanut is my unborn niece/nephew.  You will probably get random things that my niece has said about peanut.  So my niece is adorable and so sweet and is kinda the Mini Miss and that is what we will go with on here.

Mini Miss
So for this one I'm making a blanket to go with a little duck because she loves ducks.  I was trying to do the ripple blanket that came with the duck but it didn't seem to work up correctly so I frogged it and looked for a better pattern and found something I liked and am doin it.  Love the colors that she wanted.  Pink and Blue like Blue Juice blue.  She loves blue juice...well blue colored stuff.  I don't blame her because the blue ones are the best.

Just a note for myself here I want to say that it's two rows of pink two rows of dark blue with the H-5.00mm hook.

Peanut
I haven't picked a pattern for it yet.  Thankfully I have some time before this one will need to be done.  Although Mini said that mommy was pooping out an egg and that if it's a boy to give it back to the stork because she wants a baby sister.  So I asked my sister-in-law to pick the colors for the blanket for this and it's a light blue and purple.  Can't wait to see if they look good or figure out what pattern I'm using for it.

Tarot Squares 3-Double Questions

Alright so same person but two questions.  I will keep both here.  Yarn using is a mix of purples and blues, deck is the Oracle.

Question 1
The question for this one has two choices so I'm doing the spread with the same name.  Mostly a choice about schooling.  So lets see what it comes up with.  I'm being drawn to some yarn I have sitting close to me it's a blue and purple calico mix.  I think I will do both squares in this color.

The Cards: Rhiannon, Sarasvati, Mary Magdalene, Mother Mary, Kuan Yin, Ostara, and Bast.

Question 2
This question is more concerning love with three choices.  Yep again same spread name.  Funny thing is that it's pretty much the same as the two choices but you add an extra line for the third choice.  Still being drawn to the yarn from the first one and hear wispers that I should answer this one first because it has something to do with the first question.

The Cards: Yemanya, Maat, Isis, Pele, Ostara, Artemis, Sedna, Coventina, Ishtar, and Cordelia.  While shuffling Kali jumpped out.

February Mood Scarf

So I got an email about doing this for the month of February.  It sounds fun!  Details can be found under the link.  So I will just copy and paste my dates from the temp post just to save some hassle for myself and just quickly assign a color to each mood.  I will be working with a base chain of 36 and in rows of 6.

1. Pink: Optimistic, Clear Headed, Positive
2. Red: Cheerful, Relaxed, Cozy
3. Orange: Excited, Energetic, Passionate
4. Yellow: Creative, Witty, Silly
5. Green: Strong, Confident, Bold
6. Blue: Peaceful, Healthy, Content
Die Roll. Black: Calm, Balanced, Neutral

Moods:
02/01: Blue
02/02: Red
02/03: Yellow 
02/04: Black (Pink)
02/05: Yellow 
02/06: Red
02/07: Yellow 
02/08: Pink
02/09: Red
02/10: Green
02/11: Black ()
02/12: Black ()
02/13: Black ()
02/14: Orange 
02/15: Red
02/16: Black ()
02/17: Pink 
02/18: Blue
02/19: Orange
02/21: Green
02/22: Pink
02/23: Orange
02/24: Blue
02/25: Black ()
02/26: Green
02/27: Orange
02/28: Blue 
02/29: Red


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.
