I think I am addicted now..

To these damn granny square blankets!!

This one on the top I finished off this weekend. It is approx 52 x 52 inches square. I used the Lion Brand cotton ease, which I did like because it is 50% cotton 50% acrylic (I hate acrylic), but it does not feel like acrylic. I used it most of the weekend while being lazy at home on our 3 day weekend. I also went shopping for more yarn and started this one below, hence the addiction part.
Not sure about those three colors, but the youngest daughter loves it and has already claimed it for herself. At the same time my sister was over at the house and claimed it as well. Maybe they can draw straws to see who it gets it? Although I never said at the time that I was giving it to anyone. It is kinda growing on me now with those colors. I really want to do one in a brown and pink colorway, but the store did not have enough of the brown or the right shade of pink in anything I liked. I must say this second is going faster, not sure if it is because I went up one size larger on the hook or I just have the hang of it better now, but it is practically half way done!

That is it for now. I have not given up on knitting though, but love exploring the crochet world as well.

I finally signed up for Ravelry

Here is where I am on the list. I would have thought that by now, everyone had been invited by now, but I guess not.

You signed up on Today
You are #107757 on the list.
6318 people are ahead of you in line.
0 people are behind you in line.
92% of the list has been invited so far

I have read alot about this site, and there was little article about in the spring Interweave magazine I got in the mail a few days ago. I liked the part about organizing all your knit related items for easy reference. Although by looking at where I am on the list, it could be a few months before I get invited. Something to forward to I guess.

What will you be doing tonight???

This is a bottle of wine that I will trying out tonight. I got it at Target under their best wines for less than $10.00. I could not pass it up as it has a sheep on it. How fabulous is that?!

I will let you all know if it is any good, but as I am not a expert on red wines, you really should not take my word for it. I am more of a white wine person.
