Today is Friday, and that means the end of my day-job work week and the beginning of my hobby weekend where I fill my days with indoor and outdoor creativity and adventures. Last night I finally decided to make the switch from my old acrylic yarns and move on to natural fiber yarns, but I could never bring myself to throw away whole skeins. I had considered doing this last winter and even began making up blankets and scarves to give to my local homeless shelter, but after finishing two full sized afghan blankets (in combination with a Southern California winter consisting of 75°-80°F weather) I had to move on to other craft projects. I decided I wanted to use up my leftover yarn stash before bringing in any new yarns and began making up random colored granny squares that I will put together for blankets. I have so many practice scarf designs that I made and never did anything with, 1) they’re not gift or etsy quality or 2) they feature random color combinations or plain stitch designs.
I joined Ravelry yesterday and am planning on attending a knitting/crochet meetup next month. I’m excited to get back into the routine of knitting or crocheting things or working on some other craft project as well as increasing my knitting/crocheting circle of friends throughout the weeks ahead.
