Thanks for your collective input here. I will think on these things.
Are you serious about submitting this to a mag? Would they even take it seriously? If something was submitted, I think I would be beyond myself in amazment.

I think you could do it. Pick the right colors and make a display, take some nice photos, why not?
I've seen much stranger patterns published! So if you've got the inclination you could certainly prepare a submission.
Another possibility would be to make up the lichen/coral in some hemp and call it an environmentally friendly dish scrubby.

A few years ago a friend of mine solicited donations of leftover yarn to use with her program (women on probation). They had to attend classes at a corrections center daily. They each worked on a square (knit or crochet) that they donated to "Warm Up America" http://www.warmupamerica.com/home.html She commented that while working on the squares the women opened up and discussed issues going on in their lives far more than when they simply sat in a group. They also felt a sense of satisfaction that they were helping to make a difference to somebody.
The pumpkin looks perfect! Nice job, especially in the "how humiliating that I can't figure this out, but I INSIST that I will!" category.
Salsa- yes, I thought I had it all figured out but alas, I didn't. I had to go for help. I guess I am to hard headded sometimes. Not that often though.
I still have my yarn. However, I am thinking what I will do with it. There are other "crafty" type things that I still want to make so it might find a good use for itself after all. I guess if I ever get around to making a sweater or something to wear, I would think to use a different yarn from that store.
Thankyou,

Actually you've made a lot of progress on one project in one month. Don't you know you're supposed to start one, see another cute idea and get started on it, see another cute idea...etc?
I have a halloween pumpkin project that I spend about 45 minutes on every year for the last five years. And a quilt project I started about 10 years ago, I actually saw the same kit (completed, on display ) at the state fair this year. So it took her 10 years to finish, big showoff, I've got one block done and another started.;)
Carpal is right! That's a big advantage of crochet over knitting--the crochet hook is free while knitting needles are held hostage by the work.
Chief among the reasons I ever finish a knitting project is to liberate the needles so I can start something new.
Or you can buy another pair of needles! :DQuote:

I've done that already. Completely stocked. Now just have to buy lots of yarn:D

Did this too. Recently had to take something apart because I removed the hook to put it back with all of my other hooks. Can't loose those.

Well now I have started on some fish bean bags for the nephews. These along with some quilts my neighbor and I made will be their gifts. I hate and really love going to look at yarn. There are so many different colors and combonations of colors that when I look at all of them, I see all of these projects I would like to be doing. I just have to concentrate on the one project that I think I want to do now. I will work on the rest of those ideas later. Once I have my yarn chosen, I have to sigh, and say to myself I will come back later to look. It kind of reminds me of looking at bikes. The only exception is that yarn is a little cheaper.
