Well, request for yarn. Yarny goodness.
I love yarn. Yarny yarny yarn. Down it goes, down into my basket... Of yarn.
Some nicey-nice (today's post is sponsored by the letter "Y") lady asked me if I would craft something for a benefit's silent auction. The benefit is for this great group- Beyond Ballroom Dance Company, so, duh, "yeah!"
Besides being rather honored at the request, I love the group which will benefit from my crafting.
No, I really love them. All the members of this company. Each and every one of them. Personally, or at least in a not-at-all-stalkery kind of way. Did I mention my bestie is in the company? Yes, she's a stud in a totally girly way.
Anyhow, they get to dance at the new Cowles Center in Minneapolis, which I hear is amazeballs. You should go to their show. It's in 2012, so you could give tickets to the show as a Christmas gift. Yeah, that's right. I'm pluggin' their show. What?
So, remember this disaster?
I was looking for a nifty square to work into a groovy shrug/scarf business for the very silent auction I've been rambling on about.
Well, I found a fancy pattern! Actually, it's not fancy. Pretty simple. Or pretty and simple. Or rockin' and simple, more like!
Yeah.
Here it is.
Wow. That is a terrible picture!
The pattern comes from Beyond the Square. It's a book for crochet nerds where the author, Edie Eckman, gives you patterns for pieces to crochet in circles, squares, hexagons, paisley blobs, ovals, everything.
I will not want to stab myself with a crochet hook after making twenty of them, so we are making progress!
And for those of you wondering about the CBS contest, I am a loser. It was an honor just to be nominated? By myself?
