I haven't had that desire to knit lately. I do, but I think it's just to keep my hands busy. Still plugging away on my sidebar items. But nothing has really grabbed my attention. That attention sucker Flickr is still really strong. Sorry knitting.
Then to make matters worse, Crochet struts into the bar. I saw this & knew I was going to give the Granny Square one more try. And with all my Cascade 220 scraps sitting in the basement, this is going to be a fantastic stash buster (remember this sentence, friends). Last night, I bought & started crochet. I stumbled. Then I fell on my face. But this afternoon, I found the right track. I made my practice Granny out of some cotton. Why? Everyone knows I hate cotton & it just looked like shit. I went downstairs & grabbed some tiny balls of wool. Ta da! One good lookin' square. I love the all-over tan look of the original, so I had buy two skeins of yarn. I went downstairs to look through my Cascade 220 stash. Guess what? It isn't there! Two weeks ago, I took all of my tiny tiny skeins to Goodwill. That's my luck. My fiber juices are finally going & I've got only a few colors. Ava, can you help your sister?
Columbus is getting hit with another snow storm. So I'm hoping to finish a couple squares while the boys & I keep warm. I hope your winter is cozy too.

You just admitted to giving away Cascade . . . shame on you (but I'll try to help out).
