This session at school is pretty much over. I still have a class on Friday but my documentary is finished and showed it in class. I will have three weeks off for the Summer and then I go back for my last class ever. Yup, I graduate at the end of August with a Bachelor's degree in Visual Journalism. It's really awesome to know that I finally finished something in my life even though I really wanted to give up. And speaking of finishing things, here are a couple of projects that I have been working on. Since Father's Day is coming up, I made my dad a few beer cozies.

I got a free tutorial here and you can register for free. The yellow blanket in the background is for my soon to be new baby cousin. I'm taking it on my road trip to work on it. I'm actually taking a lot of projects with me on the road because I know there will be lots of driving.

Here's something that I finally finished and I'm so proud of. It's my first time making one of these and I think it came out pretty cool.

I recently finished making all of my granny squares for my first afghan...all 108 of them.

I really give credit to all of the grannies out there because putting the squares together has been back breaking work and it's also very tedious.

Because it's so repetitive, I also began to do a scallop edge to distract me when the job got too difficult. I'm hoping I'll finish this before I start school again.

Blankies

I've been coming back to my crocheting and realized that I always start something but never finish. I'm currently working on 3 different afghans because I get bored of crocheting the same thing. I decided to stop doing that and get at least 1 done by March (it's on my 28 before 29 list). I think it's do-able since I only need about 13 more big granny squares to finish. I figured if I do 1 everyday then I will definitely reach my goal way before March. Does anyone have any good tutorials on how to join the squares together? It will be a huge accomplishment for me when I finally finish my blanket. I also want to learn how to make hexagons too. Here are some pretty blankets that are keeping me motivated and inspired.

I'm also going to crochet a pillow to match my blanket. I'm off to start my weekend. It involves cutting scenes together for my new documentary class and scouting possible subjects for it. It's kind of scary, we have to make a 30 min. doc by the week of June 14.
Have a great weekend, I'm going to try and spend it outside as much as possible. What do you have planned?

Rainy Friday

Today is starting off to be a good day. I had the urge to crochet so I decided to continue with my blanket. It's also raining today and there's a Twilight Zone marathon on t.v. I couldn't ask for more on a Friday.

Super Bowl Sunday is coming up. Anyone doing anything special for it? I'm not a huge sports fan but it's a good excuse to have a big family gathering for the game and good food.

So, ever since I learned to crochet, (last week) I haven't been able to stop making granny squares. Right now, that's the only thing I know how to do. I decided I wanted to make a baby blanket for my cousin's new baby boy and since I can't read patterns yet, I just made this huge granny square.

I still have a ways to go. I just want to get it done in time for Christmas. I also went and bought new yarn to hopefully get motivated to start new projects with crocheting.

Here are some images to inspire you. I know they definitely inspire me. (Click on images for credit).

Happy crocheting!
