Feeling good about my progress today. Finished the 2nd of 3 projects that I am designing for my February pattern. The ends are all worked in. they're on the blocking board right now. The patterns are even written. All they need is photos and testing.
I did run to Joann's today because I thought I could get a color to go with one I have for the final design. I really should have looked on line before I left as they don't make that yarn in the color I was envisioning. I could have saved myself a lot of time if I had just looked. Ah well I did pick up some pretty yarn. It would have been so awesome if they would have had the color I wanted. Unfortunately I couldn't find any yarn in the size I want to use that would go with the yarn I intended to use. It was a superfine yarn I was trying to match and the closet I could come up with was a DK weight. See even when I do use yarn it has to be fine and delicate.

Tomorrow I will start the final design. Tonight I will work on the doily I have going and in the morning I will take the time to give my house a good cleaning before allowing myself to pick up my hook. Trying to motivate myself to get it done quickly. I really do need to find my desk top once again and clean off my bulletin board of projects completed. Oh I keep my house fairly neat. But every once in a while I need to clean corners. Tomorrow will be a corner cleaning morning.
The best news of the day is the yarn I ordered for the shawl I have planned arrived and oooh !!! I can hardly wait to dive into that project. I charted out that design for myself this last weekend and did my swatch. Which only made me want to do it even more.
Still a bit miffed at myself for wasting 2 hours today on a useless trip. I could have had several rooms all cleaned. Someday, just maybe I will learn to check before I head out the door. Especially since it is so far away for me. But it seemed so logical to me that they should have that color. I could definitely see it in my minds eye.
Ain't yarn grand? But not when you can't find the right color!
