I'm working on my PhD (Projects half Done)...

Well, I know I have been MIA for quite some time...

My old laptop fizzled out and I used only my iPad for a few months while I worked only on my other blog. I then made enough money to buy me a brand new all-in-one HP which I love. I started going back to school to finish my degree. I now have over 45 credit hours towards my Bachelors in Graphic Design. I am so happy to be back doing what I love.

Right before my laptop died I started a Raverly account. My name is MegaMsVeee. I am now in the process of updateing all of my current yarn stash and all of my WIP. I will soon add some of my recently completed projects too.

I also added my Super Bulky Tam pattern to Raverly and plan to have an updated PDF version soon. I will be hooking a few more for winter.

I will be posting soon to get all of you up to speed with what I've been hooking...

My little boy...

Ok, so most of you know I have 3 kiddos. My middle son will soon be turning 5. He has been having trouble for some time now with his fine motor skills. He has trouble coloring and holding a pencil correctly. He does ok with scissors, but he is left handed.

Anyway, I was shopping with all of the kids (they are all out of school thanks to Hurricane Isaac) when my middle child tells me he wants me to buy him a crochet book, yarn and a hook so that I can teach him to crochet.

This took me by surprise I have to say! He is the last one I expected to hear this from. I was young when I began to learn, but I was my grandma’s littlest girl. I was always by her side.

He picked out a dishcloth book and some camo yarn. I am wondering if the small G hook will be too difficult for him. We will give it a try. If it doesn't work well, I will buy some more Super Bulky Yarn for him to use with the N hook.

He is pretty excited. I bought some rainbow yarn for me to try some of these patterns too. I have always wanted an excuse to use rainbow yarn!

I'll post pictures of the finished products after we are done.

T-Shirt Blanket Day 10: The end of another ball

Hey there! Seven more t-shirts down! WOW! I can't believe 53 t-shirts are in my blanket already! I am working on rounding up t-shirts for my next ball. I am going to ask my hubby for some of his old t-shirts. I never go through his clothes. If he wants to send something to the trash or thrift store, he has to make that decision. So, I am going to ask him to go through and see if there are any he can donate to my blanket project.

I am also going to check Freecycle and Craigslist for free t-shirts. I may also go back to the thrift stores and buy some more interesting t-shirts.

Currently I have  rows of HDC, 53 t-shirts in my blanket and 0 t-shirts left on my ball.

Till we meet again,

T-Shirt Blanket Day 9: 46 t-shirts down!

Hi there! More of the blanket down! How many days will it take? How many t-shirts will it take to make a queen size blanket? I feel like i was slacking today. I only did 2 more rows. I think it has something to do with school starting.

If you have the PhotoStudio App, here is the preset code for the filter I used in these pictures: CD540030.

Currently I have 16 full rows of HDC, 46 t-shirts in my blanket and 7 t-shirts left on my ball. It's time to make a new ball.

See you later,

T-Shirt Blanket Day 8: Getting the hang of this

It feels so good to be back working on this project! I have never even attempted a crochet project of this size before. I am really enjoying this project. It is very relaxing. I never realized how nice it was to just sit down while watching TV or watching my husband play Call of Duty and crochet. At this point, I am pretty much just running on autopilot.

Today I added 15 tshirts to my project all while watching The Lorax with the family. 




Currently I have 14 full rows of HDC, 39 t-shirts in my blanket and 14 t-shirts left on my ball.



Adios,
Ms Veee
