<br />
<br />
My last post was in May of 2015... now here we are drawing 2018 to a close and so very much in my life has changed. I graduated college with my bachelors degree, had a few different jobs, got older, made new friends, grown as a person, got my first speeding ticket, added two more tattoos to my skin, got my nose pierced, dyed my hair green, laughed, loved, cried, moved on, struggled, and conquered. I think the most important difference in 2015 me and 2018 me is the degree of happiness and self confidence that I've been able to find, just in the past few months alone.<br />

I don't crochet as much as I used to. I'm hoping resurrecting this blog will encourage me to get crafty again. I've also been learning to sew and am considering taking up knitting! I've also developed a strong interest and liking for make up, so be prepared for some make up related posts.<br />

I'm pretty busy these days, which is not necessarily a bad thing (oh hey look at that I spelled 'necessarily' right on the first try). I currently work a part-time position in retail as well as teaching ukulele and children's choir at a local church, and being part of their adult choir. That on top of keeping up friendships, assisting in caring for my dad, and spending time with Christopher, I don't have a ~ton~ of free time to write, but I would like to try and make more time for it.<br />
<br />
So here we are!<br />
<br />
(Also don't get attached to the green hair. I love it, but it has to go to make room for bigger and better life opportunities and adulting!)<br />

All in all, last week was a good week. I did, however, lose power at my school at home for almost two days. So, I spent a lot of time crocheting, as you saw in my last post. I thought we were rid of the horrid, cold, wet weather, but it is upon North Georgia once again. Which is particularly unfortunate because I'm supposed to go further north tomorrow to take the GACE program admissions test. Now, this test is <i>basically</i> the SAT, but is required as part of my certification to become a teacher in the great peach state. Because winter is coming at us in full force at the moment, I am having to reschedule this test now. -Sigh- OH YEAH, and did I mention is this my universities <i>spring break</i>? So, I'm currently at my parent's house with my cat (pictured in all her glory on the right), drinking some wood chuck hard cider, and thinking about what to crochet next.<br />
Side note: I'm going to get my hair cut this Thursday! bye bye hair!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">PART TWO: </span>YARN AND STUFF!<br />
I have accomplished quite a lot over the past couple of days. I've gotten two orders for hats, and completed 3 others, as well as learned the wheat stitch and began work on my cousin's baby blanket.<br />

And in doing this (and packing for spring break at my parent's) I have realized that I have <i><b>A LOT</b></i> of yarn. A lot. Not too much, one can never have too much yarn. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNCZ_k4H6mw3Y9gHyYBpISz2K8EEhhKk6TULm1TNWhK43yrYV-pj4rapnGlNYDh0H_RtxWbgm5gPshUh66Gdq-p9K22FgI4DzM-gR3GTGL2K1-a563Gx9uRwSkqbrCJz1M1b0CjRF93Uzb/s1600/4YRm8tO.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNCZ_k4H6mw3Y9gHyYBpISz2K8EEhhKk6TULm1TNWhK43yrYV-pj4rapnGlNYDh0H_RtxWbgm5gPshUh66Gdq-p9K22FgI4DzM-gR3GTGL2K1-a563Gx9uRwSkqbrCJz1M1b0CjRF93Uzb/s1600/4YRm8tO.jpg" height="268" width="400" /></a></div>

Let's see how it goes!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>1. How do you keep track of your TBR pile?</b></span> <br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I don't. I probably own more books that I haven't read than those that I have.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b>2. Is your TBR mostly print or ebook?</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Mostly print, but I've read an ebook here and there.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b> </b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><b>3. <b>How do you determine which book from your TBR to read next?</b></b></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I just pick one! However, it might take me a while to make the agonizing decision when I have so much to choose from.<b><b><b> </b></b></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><b><b><b>4. A book that’s been on your TBR the longest:</b></b></b></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Firestarter by Stephen King. My mother lent me her copy once, it's still sitting on my book shelf, un-read.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><b><b><b>5. A book you recently added to your TBR:</b></b><b><b> </b> </b></b></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Lord of the Rings series by J.R.R. Tolkien!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is a very hard question, because I have chosen a lot of books just because of their cover. However, right now I would say that it's The Cuckoo's Calling by Secret J.K. Rowling</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Isn't the point of having a TBR to <i>read</i> what's on your TBR?<b><b><b><b> </b></b></b></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><b><b><b><b><b>8. An unpublished book on your TBR that you’re excited for:</b></b></b></b></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Anything that John Green or J.K. Rowling ever write, also I'm looking forward to the new Harper Lee novel that I've heard some things about.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I don't have a GoodReads account. :x</span><br />

The title is self-explanatory. Last week I fell ill with a bug that seemed to be floating around the sinuses of most of my colleagues.<br />
<br />
So what does Sky do when she gets sick and doesn't want to get out of bed? Sky crochets.<br />
It began with wanting use a lot of my scarp yarn to make an ottoman cover.<br />

I spent most of my time working on squares! I have now finished 6/16, and I feel like I'm on a roll! I've gotta keep my momentum up through the snot and sinus pains!<br />
<br />
To cap off my week, the majority of my family come over to celebrate my brother's 25th birthday. We had pizza and wings (all we were missing was beer and football) and watched The X-Files, which just so happens to be one of my favorite shows in the entire world.<br />
<br />
Fast forward to Tuesday, today, right now. I still feel like crap but it seems to be just allergies now.<br />
<br />
So... that was my week. How was yours?<br />

I just want to let you guys know that I had an <i>amazing week</i> last week. There were some bumps in the road, such is life, but that's okay! I'm not letting it bring me down! First of all, it's always great to get an (almost) all expenses paid trip to Savannah with some of the best people I know! The tail end of last week was the GMEA Conference in Savannah, Georgia. For people who aren't into music education, that's the Georgia Music Educators Association. So yeah, I basically nerded out <strike>the whole time</strike> a completely moderate amount of time. Unfortunately, this is the last year of it being in Savannah... boo!<br />
My choir director was invited to teach a session at the conference, so of course all of the choir had to go. It was an unbelievable time of learning more about my trade, spending time with my best friends and getting to know new people in the choir! I would say that after this trip I have at least one new friend. I'm so thankful that the opportunity this trip gave us to bond as a group. Sure, we all went our separate ways, but I still got to know people that I didn't know as well before. We ate some damn good food (looking back I should have taken pictures of it...), ran around Savannah trying to make it to sessions and concerts on time, but mostly we laughed and had a great time.<br />
I do regret one thing that is worth speaking about in this blog:<br />
I did not take enough photos of the beautiful city.<br />

Pictured above is Christ Church. That is not my choir performing, but that choir did do a phenomenal job! This is however the space that our session was held in. Isn't it gorgeous? The acoustics were amazing, but not distracting to us. The sound rang, but we could only hear it when we paused to take breaths, or after a song was finished. Every choir that we heard in that church sounded like angels in this space. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It also brought back many memories for me of Freshman year when I performed in this church with the All-College Choir. When I was a senior in high school I was in the All-State Choir, and I thought it was amazing. An experience that I will hold dear for the rest of my life, but as that was a high school choir, All-College just trumps All-State so hard. I regret to this day not buying the CD of our performance that year.</div>

I've also had several ideas for hats using scrap yarn, and started a hat using my Red Heart Magical yarn in Chrystal Ball. If you have a nice Micheal's near you, go pick some up! It's such a joy.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I also went home for a little while, and got some quality kitty time
in. She must have missed me a lot, because she never gets in my lap
anymore and does not like to be held when you're sitting down. But she was a cuddle bug this weekend! Just look at her! I can't stand it!</div>

Picked up some amazing items at Goodwill for cheap, including a box set of the LoTR series for <b><i>FIVE DOLLARS.</i></b> The Lovely Bones has been continuesly recommended to me, and I found a copy in good shape so I picked it up. The knitting needles and all of the thread/yarn were in a pack for like $1.99. I could not believe my luck. And on top of these things, I got new dress pants, and two new shirts, one from J.Crew and one from Gap. </div>

Last week was a very good week. I got my Valentine's name for <a href="http://figandthistle.com/2015/01/12/be-my-bookish-valentine-a-valentine-swap-for-book-lovers/" target="_blank">#bookishvday2015</a>, and I went straight to work! I have made her a few more things besides <a href="http://hummingforpromise.blogspot.com/2015/01/my-first-amigurumi.html" target="_blank">the bat amigurumi</a>, but just in case she finds this blog, I want to keep some of it a secret!<br />
<br />
Not only did I make a lot of things this week, I also made some important decisions about my future.<br />
<br />
1) I will be in school for another full year. Originally I was going to do summer classes to finish all of my core classes, and student teach in the Fall of 2015. However, as many deadlines started to fall upon me (and after my adviser's urging) I decided that it wasn't worth the stress it would cause me to go through with my original plan. Though, I don't mind it that much. As you can see above, my school is a beautiful place. But that beauty does come at a hefty price tag. I visited the financial aid office to make sure that my scholarships would be active for a fifth year. Apparently, a music education degree is only supposed to require 129 hours of course work. However, after this semester I will have completed 127 hours, but still have 25 more hours to complete (including my student teaching)!<br />
"How did this happen?!" The woman asked me. Well, unfortunately, with voice as my primary instrument, I have to take certain vocal classes that are not necessarily on my program plan, therefore, in the eyes of the financial aid/registrar's office, they are not required to graduate. So now, I have to submit a letter to them explaining why I need this fifth year, but it is "very likely" that my scholarships will carry over. Well, they had better! I did not give so much money to this school to have to go somewhere else and not graduate from here!<br />
<br />
2) I am going to open an Etsy store this summer. Without the worry of summer classes, I can run the store and make things (almost) full time. I will be looking for a real job also, but I just want to crochet all the time, and it would be great to make some money off it and fund my yarn habit.<br />
<br />

What is that on that statue's coffee cup you ask? Why, it looks like a cozy! THAT'S BECAUSE IT IS A COZY. That's right, folks, I yarn bombed! I will admit, it is a very <i>very</i> small yarn bomb, but I'm just getting started! I'm thinking of learning some new stitches, and just making tubes out of them to go around some railings around campus. There are also plenty of statues like this one that look like they need something to keep them warm at night.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
All of those things are all great, but one of the highlights of my week was going to the Humane Society with <a href="http://instagram.com/skywardawakening" target="_blank">Rachel </a>(best friend status) and hanging out with the kitties!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the left is Hermione, a maine coon/tortie mix, and on the right is
her brother, Ron, a maine coon/tabby mix. You guys, if you want to get a
dog or a cat <i>please please please</i>
go adopt one from your local pound or humane society. Most of them will
be spayed or neutered before they are adopted out, and ALL THEY WANT IS
LOVE. </div>

Over the weekend I went home for a night and got to hang out with<a href="http://hummingforpromise.blogspot.com/2014/05/the-greatest-cat-who-has-ever-lived.html" target="_blank"> my kitty</a> (below). She has never tried to play with my yarn, but I left my room for 5 minutes and come back to this. She was playing with it, but when I caught her she started acting cute (of course).</div>

<br />
Over the past few days I've finished two puff stitch hats, and two chocolate frog containers. (I just love them!)<br />
I used Red Heart Boutique Treasure on the hat to the right, and Read Heart Boutique Unforgettable for the hat above. Unforgettable is varying in it's weight through out the skein, and my puff stitches ended up a lot smaller, resulting in a lot more rows than the one in Treasure, but I actually like the Unforgettable one more! It fits my head better. <br />
<br />
For the chocolate frog boxes I used <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/chocolate-frog-box" target="_blank">this FREE pattern</a> as well as blue Red Heart Super Saver, and yellow Vanna's Choice. The smaller one is the pattern exactly, except I added a round to the lid.<br />
The bigger one is just one more round in the base, the sides, and the top. It has a little problem holding it's shape, I'm thinking I can get floral wire and use it to keep it more angular and box-like.<br />
<br />
I also started on a new granny square for my <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/skymartin/giant-granny-square" target="_blank">Cosy Giant Granny blanket</a>. I didn't take any photos, sorry!<br />
<br />
On Sunday night I got all of my yarn out. I wanted to see what I have and organize it in some way. I came to the realization that I have a <i>lot </i>of yarn. Am I addicted to buying yarn? Maybe. The photo below is arranged by brand. I have the most Caron, which doesn't really surprise me seeing as I'm making a huge blanket out of it.<br />
<br />
I have so much Unforgettable because of the blanket that I started making, then frogged. It just wasn't working for me, the yarn is too hard to work with for bigger projects. It just gets under my skin. The mess of yarn on the bottom right is all unidentified. A mixture of Mill End's and some baby yarn that I didn't keep the wrapping for.<br />
<br />
I didn't want to put it away. I just wanted to look at it. Unfortunately, I had to, because it took up most of my dorm room floor. Oops!<br />

And let me tell you... it was a lot easier than I thought it would be. I used <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/sonar-the-bat" target="_blank">this pattern </a>for his head, ears, wings, and body (though I did add some rows to make it taller). I used bigger yarn and hook than called for, because I didn't want some dinky little thing. He need to be sort of substantial! I used <a href="http://mamachee.com/2011/01/16/crochet-pattern-little-heart-plushy/" target="_blank">this pattern</a> for the heart. I free handed the feet, which is why they don't match, but I think it's kind of cute. I also free handed the cape, because I couldn't really find a pattern that fit my purposes.My biggest mistake was waiting until the head was almost done to attach the ears. It was <strike>so freaking hard</strike> really difficult to get into the tiny hole I left myself to tie them off. As for the teeth, I experimented with placement and different yarns, and ended up just wrapping some red yarn around the white to give them to bloody effect. I also believe that I may have over stuffed the head just a titch, because you can see the poly-fil in certain angles. The hardest part was the body. I had to start making that, and then stop, make the wings. Then the heart, attached to the tips of the wings and THEN finished and stuffed all the parts. But over all, I'm super happy with him and I really hope that my Valentine for #bookishvday2015 loves him as much as I do!<br />

I could not be more excited to be putting this Valentine surprise together! I'm in full crafting mode (more on that later).<br />
Logging into my twitter required me to edit my information, since I hadn't used it since sometime last year. Then I thought "Hm, maybe I could put a twitter widget under my Pinterest widget!!!"<br />
<i>I really like widgets okay?! </i><br />
So that happened. Then I started really looking at my blog. It had some cute colors, the pictures from my Instagram and through out my posts brightened it up a bit. But it wasn't enough for me. Things seemed cramped, unevenly spaced, and mostly, my header was just so <i>blah</i>. This needed to be corrected.<br />
<br />
I fixed the spacing of my left and right side bars, including the buttons and widgets within them. I changed the width of the middle column to accommodate the large pictures I like to include in my posts. After this was done, I began to consider my header. I looked at all the different fonts, and eh, nothing caught my eye. Nothing was right. I decided to create a picture header.<br />
When I was younger I dabbled in Photoshop a little a bit, so I kind of know the tools and layers and all that jargon. However, I don't have Photoshop. Luckily the internet exists. I found a suitable in-browser editor and went to work! <br />
<br />
With quite a bit of trial, <strike>frustration,</strike> and error, I came up with what you see sitting atop this post. I am quite happy with it, and I feel that my blog is now finally reaching the visual level that I was hoping for.<br />
<br />
Along with the visual revamping, I will be making some new posts. I'm shooting for <i>at least</i> one post a week, with posts about projects and various things in between. I have some pattern idea's in the works, so be on the look out for those. <br />
Remember to follow me on Instagram for more updates, friend me on Ravelry to view some of my current projects, and on Twitter just because you all love me!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01958846496255492025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289402285280309548.post-35003147596948819222015-01-20T06:58:00.002-08:002018-12-13T06:40:46.183-08:00An Ongoing Process<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Coming off of this 4 day weekend, I would say it was a success. However there are stressful times ahead. I have 47 unread emails alerting me to assignments that need to be done and I'm also trying to register to take one of the most important standardized tests of my future teaching career. See that school children? Adults have to take tests, too. Sigh.<br />
<br />
This weekend I completed two more squares out of my <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Ceceliamartin/giant-granny-square" target="_blank">cosy granny square blanket</a>. I also completed (pictured above) a Hufflepuff hat that someone commisioned from me. I did not follow a pattern, so I suppose that if I wanted to that <i><b>I</b></i> could write a pattern for it. It is very simple, and most likely anyone with a little crocheting experience could probably look at it and figure it out... but I think that it could be a cool thing to do.<br />

Also this weekend I saw the third installation of the Hobbit. There were <i>a lot</i> more people in the theatre than we thought there would be. It is a very long movie, by the end of it I was no longer comfortable in my seat and was grateful to get up and leave. I did let out some tears during the movie, but I will not say why. I will strive to keep this a spoiler-less blog.<br />

Last night I returned to my dorm after a wonderful weekend, and I relaxed by balling yarn. As you can see, there is a lot of yarn to ball and a lot of yarn that has been balled. It is an ongoing process.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01958846496255492025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289402285280309548.post-19772081728155051012015-01-14T08:25:00.000-08:002015-01-22T08:08:32.401-08:00FO - Katniss CowlThis is a pattern that I have looked at many times over the course of the past few months, but I never had enough yarn (or the right kind) to make it. I finally decided to just go out and buy yarn specifically for it, and I'm so glad I did. I finished it last night and it's pretty cold today, so of course I'm wearing it, and the thing that I have heard the most from people is that it looks like I'm wearing a blanket around my neck.<br />

I did not do the whole pattern because I did my post crochet differently and the ridged sections were much bigger than planned!<br />
<br />
It's kind of hard to figure out how to wear, you have to adjust it and mess with it so that it's all arranged in a nice way. I'm so glad that I picked the color I did, it's just a beautiful soft grey. It is gonna go with most things in my wardrobe and the other things I have crocheted. <br />
<br />
I highly recommend this pattern to people who hate being cold. It's definitely worth the cost of the yarn and the time to make it, I'll never be cold again!Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01958846496255492025noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289402285280309548.post-43750739478469552602015-01-13T07:43:00.004-08:002015-01-22T08:08:44.428-08:00A Bookish Valentine's Day 2015<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have survived the first week of classes! Though it was busy, stressful, and most of all cold, I would call it a successful week. As you all know, I finished the <a href="http://hummingforpromise.blogspot.com/2015/01/fo-stripey-afghan.html" target="_blank">stripey afghan </a>that I had been working on for months, and started another <a href="http://hummingforpromise.blogspot.com/2015/01/one-project-ends-another-begins-cosy.html" target="_blank">large project that's ALL FOR ME!</a> Words cannot express how excited I am about this <i>huge</i> blanket. You can find the Ravelry project page for my giant granny square blanket <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Ceceliamartin/giant-granny-square" target="_blank">here</a>. In the original square pattern the author only used 6 squares to make a twin size blanket, but my inspiration project (<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/SheGar/giant-granny-square" target="_blank">Cosy Granny Blanket on Ravelry</a>) used 9 squares and a very large 6 inch border. However, after looking at one square on the bed I thought maybe I would need a whopping <b>12 squares</b> to make this blanket as big as I would want it. And then I thought... maybe it should be 16 SQUARES!<br />
And so it shall be. This is going to be one very HUGE blanket.<br />
<br />

The cold last week was a terrible, bone chilling type of cold. The wind cut through everything I was wearing, no matter the number of layers I squeezed into, just for the short walk from my dorm to work. It was so cold in fact, that the fountain on front lawn completely froze over on Tuesday, and still had some ice in it today.<br />
<br />
<br />
The worst part about the first week was not actually the cold, but getting used to a schedule again. Unfortunately, my schedule sucks this semester. I have 4 classes in a row on Monday and Wednesday with 10 minutes between each one. Oh yeah, and they're all in different buildings. On Tuesday and Thursday I get up SUPER EARLY and come open at the library (which isn't so bad because I get to talk crochet with nerdybookgirl over at <a href="http://figandthistle.com/" target="_blank">Fig and Thistle</a>!)<br />
<br />
Because my schedule is jam packed full, I have not found a regular time to go to the gym, and this is stressing me out an unbelievable amount. Last semester I was going at least 3 times a week and I felt really good. Now it's beginning to be hard to find time, but I need that time!<br />
Also, this semester is my senior recital! More on that at a later date.<br />
<br />
<br />
I've also started work on 2 more crochet projects, the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/katniss-cowl-3" target="_blank">Katniss Cowl by The Friendly Red Fox</a> (free pattern yaaaay!) and a broomstick lace scarf. You can find my Ravelry project pages <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Ceceliamartin/katniss-cowl" target="_blank">here</a> and <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Ceceliamartin/broomstick-lace-scarf" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

In the last photo I have already used 4 skeins (480yds) of the yarn, and wasn't even half way through what promised to be a 600yd project. I thought this might be because I was using a 5 weight yarn rather than the 6 that the pattern called for, but my crocheting buddy is making the same cowl with the same yarn (in Flint) and hers was radically different than mine, mostly in the height of the ridged rows.<br />
<br />
Apparently I do my post crochet's wrong! I still go through the top of the stitch, when I'm supposed to just go under it and around. (does that make sense? It does to me!)<br />
Well, I'm definitely not frogging it. Instead of repeating rows 2-10 again, I will finish the repeat that I am on and then repeat rows 2-5 for a finished look. But I've gotta go get some more yarn from Jo Ann before I can finish it! I foresee this being a 6 skein project.<br />
<br />
<br />
Broomstick lace is not turning out to be my favorite stitch, by any means. I like the way it looks, but I find it tedious. This will be a project that I work on when I'm extremely bored.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Also last week, I received a Christmas gift that I had been anxiously waiting on!<br />
Opal is my birthstone, and of all the varieties I like the fire opal the best. <br />

<br />
<br />
Yesterday I finished the <a href="http://hummingforpromise.blogspot.com/2015/01/fo-stripey-afghan.html" target="_blank">Stripey Afghan</a>, so last night I of course had to start a new project. I've been waiting so long to start on this that I'm bouncing out of my seat just thinking about working on it. My fingers got an itch that only crochet can satisfy! I had to make myself finish the Stripey Afghan before I could start this next one.<br />
<br />
My latest project can be found on Ravelry in the form of a (yay!) <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/giant-granny-square-2" target="_blank">FREE PATTERN!</a><br />
I've just been following the chart and have been having no problems with it. Though, I am only using 4 colors, where as the pattern calls for 5. I am following the color changes of the pattern, but picking my colors at random.<br />
That being said, I'm modeling my blanket after <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/SheGar/giant-granny-square" target="_blank">another project</a> on Ravelry that's under the same pattern. I saw this project and I fell in deep sweet love with this blanket. I had to have one. So, I am making one.<br />
<br />
Here is my own project page for the <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/Ceceliamartin/giant-granny-square" target="_blank">Cosy Giant Granny.</a><br />

You guys, I did it. I completed my first commission AND my first afghan. Just in time for me to start my next big project! I'm so over the moon with how it turned out. The finished size was 65 inches by 65 inches. When I tied off the end last night I laid it out to see if it was cuddle worthy, and it definitely is! I cannot wait to get started on my own afghan, as I have grown kind of attached to this one...<br />
<br />
<br />
Do any of you guys have a Ravelry account? If you do, my screen name is Ceceliamartin if you want to be friends! I'll be updating projects there as well as here.<br />

Since I have finished working on all that, I have made myself a half granny square scarf, a wool hat, and a matching cowl and hat set. The best part about these things? They are for <i>me</i>. I have never crocheted something for myself before that I actually ended up liking. This was monumental to me.</div>

Today I did something I never do, which is crochet while I'm on my break. It's only 15 minutes, but I added 3 more rows to the scarf I'm working on. Huzzah!<br />
<br />
<b>Things that are in the works:</b><br />
<i>A Study in Red Heart: Unforgettable - </i>This is what I have affectionately named the granny square blanket I'm working on, made (almost) entirely from Red Heart Unforgettable yarns. I am almost finished with the first set of 6x6 granny squares, made from "Parrot".<br />

<i>One Ravenclaw scarf </i>-<i> </i> I'm using Caron Simply Soft yarn (no idea the name of the color... will let you know when I get more!) and Red Heart Unforgettable "Bistro". I've started and thrown out this scarf many times, but now that I'm finally getting a hang of counting my stitches and turning with a chain, this one is turning out much much better. I'm making it very thick because I want it to be nice and warm!<br />

<i>An afghan, throw size</i> - My first commission... oh boy. A friend of mine handed me $30 worth of yarn yesterday and told me he would pay me to make him a throw. I'm very excited about this, but also nervous. He didn't give a pattern that he wanted, just told me that he likes stripes. I will probably end up doing some pretty simple triple or double crochet stripes in each color, but what if he doesn't like it and doesn't want to pay for it?! I'm pretty nervous about it, but plan on starting this weekend. I'm using these photos as my inspiration:<br />

I then proceeded to write the whole beginning of this blog post as if I had missed Wednesday and was presenting WIP Thursday! Then before I posted, I checked... just to be sure.<br />
<br />
Lo and behold... it's Wednesday.<br />

I believe I tried to jump in too fast. This is going to be my new weekly post. Start out small, ya know? Plus, I'm usually always working on something, whether it be a paper or a craft.<br />
<br />
Recently I took up crocheting. If you follow me on Pinterest, this is probably obvious to you, as 90% of what I repin is crochet related these days. It's also pretty much all I talk about. Sorry non-crafty friends!<br />
There are a LOT of ideas running through my head and patterns on my board, but I do not have the skills to achieve these things yet. Thus far in my crocheting journey, I have trashed two scarves and one hat. I was disappointed in them. So, I have begun working on granny squares. One, because they will help me improve my technique, and two, because when I have enough, I can make a blanket! It would make a great Christmas present.<br />
<br />
With that said, here are some of my completed/WIP granny squares:<br />

<br />
I still kind of feel unbalanced. I expected some increased amount of free time this semester, but not this much homework. Though, I had also expected to gain friends rather than lose them. However, that prospect is looking up.<br />
<br />
My University... is beautiful. I love/hate my old dorm room. I don't mean "old" as in "a room I've had in the past", but like "Wow this building is super old and awesome looking!"<br />
I hate it because the floor squeaks and the air conditioner creeks and groans, yet still can't provide any cooling relief for my roommates and me. I hate it because the floor is slanted. I love my dorm because the ceilings are tall, the doors are huge, heavy, wooden, and just <i>old </i>(this is why I enjoy the rare books room as well!). I love it because the bathroom was recently re-done!<br />
<br />
While I'm here, anyone have any book recommendations for me? <br />

<br />
I am as giddy as Nemo. Though that might have something to do with the coffee. <br />
This morning (and every other morning this week) I will be getting up at 7ish to go to work at 7:45. My "shift" will end at 9:15, and then I will whisk myself away to class. Today my first class is Italian. I'm a little nervous. I have already gotten a good bit of notifications from Canvas with due dates for this class. We'll see how it goes. Work is fine this morning, I've gotten lots of questions, mostly just directional inquiries. <br />
<br />
Apparently some patrons are surprised that the stapler we provide for them is attached to the table. Well duh people will walk out with it.<br />
<br />
