BAM CAL - February Square


Here it is! February's square! I actually finished this one before the end of the month (or beginning of the next month like January's square). You can find all of the info here.

I'm really excited to see how all of this turns out! I've never done a CAL before, so I'm excited to see what a blanket with many different squares looks like!

I think I'm going to go through my stash this weekend...Stay tuned for a great stash post soon!

BAM CAL - January Square

Finally! I'm done my January square for the BAM (Block-A-Month) CAL (Crochet-ALong).

16-Circles Square by Beatriz Medina

I'll tell you, this square took a lot out of me. So difficult! I found the pattern very hard to understand, but thankfully, I found a great tutorial here. Without it, I don't know if I could have gotten through it!

You can find all of the info on my Ravelry page. The first square of 12 finished!

Projects Galore

Hello!

It's been a while since I've updated, and I'm sorry for that! I have been busy hooking away, but I haven't taken photos in a while. Not to fear, I should be able to get at it on Saturday. I have a bunch of finished projects, including one for charity, and one for a swap between crafters. I also have some Christmas items that I made right at the beginning of the new year to try to use up some scraps.

I also have some big news on the home front. We have bought a house! No, we still haven't sold the one we left behind in Fort St John, but we were approved to purchase one up here. We are so excited! We're moving in on March 1.

Now, because we're still holding 2 mortgages, we won't have a lot of money lying around to decorate the new house. Enter the crafters! My mom and I are ready to unleash some DIY on the house to make it ours until we can buy the things we need. We could use new couches, but our same ones with covers will do. I won't have a lot of decorations, so we'll have to make them! Should be fun!

Anyways, off to get ready for work. TGIF!
