Reply With QuoteActually 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.

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,
Red Rock

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 just put the stitches on some scrap yarn - just don't put it aside long enough that you forget what the needles were supposed to be Originally Posted by carpaltunnel

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

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.
