Anyone that does crafts knows about getting sidetracked. It can be any number of things that pull you away from your crafts. Usually for most people it's housework or running to get things done outside the house.
For me it's the next challenge.
A doily that might take a month to finish. Or a beautiful blanket done in your favorite colors or pattern.
Lately for me it has been some pretty yarns that I found at my LYS. We didn't have a LYS for most of the years that I have lived here. We have had Walmart with the synthetic stuff. Which is probably why I stuck with doilies and cross stitch for 17 years. I have made a few blankets and other stuff, but not anything that I was really happy with that was made with yarn.
And now that we have one I can't seem to help myself. I want all of it. The sock yarn, the tweed, the corn, the soy and even the super soft baby yarn.










I want to make a scarf and a beanie with this. (I do have several more.)

I am making a bag with this on circs.





















The colors remind me of a rose garden.




I have recently finished a white poncho
with pretty baby yarn.





I have also just finished a Ruffled Cardigan that is crochet.







Well at least I have finished several projects.
