Today I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone. I wanted to continue with my Something New Saturday, but I also have the deadline of my 1000 squares goal looming. So I decided to get out my 99 Grannies book and try out some new patterns. Although it was good practice for me reading and following the different patterns, I think I'll just stick to the basic granny from here on out. The basic granny is so quick and easy, and I think the lines are much nicer and cleaner. Plus - I don't have to constantly think about what I'm doing - I can watch TV, listen to music, have a conversation with the family - without worrying about losing my place and messing up the pattern. I found one major mistake in one of them, but I just left it alone. It adds character.
On a different note, I was excited this past week when I was able to complete my supply of yarn for my next project - 2011 Special Olympic Scarves. You can read about it on the internet - use GoodSearch as your search engine and look it up. You'd be surprised at the overwhelming response they get to their call for handmade scarves. And I'm sure Coats & Clark is happy with the yarn sales.
