I have been on a crazy crochet kick for the past two weeks and it's insane. I've finished 2 baby blankets, a huge Hunger Games inspired afghan, and a few odd hats.
I don't know what else I can possibly make, but I still want to crochet stuff
I need to start making lists of things I could make, or things I want to make, because I hate taking six hours to try and find something that I want to make. It takes up my actual crochet/knitting time.
- A name-blanket for my 2 year old cousin, Brynnleigh
- A baby blanket for my aunt (Brynn's mom) who's expecting another little girl in November
- More hats (can't have enough toques in Canada)
- A scarf? Haven't made one in a long time
- Halloween decorations

Spencer blanket done!
Finished my Spencer blanket for if I have any children in the future.
My aunt is due to have a little girl in November so I want to make her one of these. I`ll just wait until the kid has actually been born and named before I start the center portion.

I like to plan ahead . . . years ahead
I've known for at least a few years that if I ever have a kid, and that kid turns out to be a girl, I want to name her Jensen. Regardless of my significant other when/if the time comes, it's happening. I will not budge on this.
I also recently added Spencer to my list of names-my-daughters-will-be-named
To make sure that no one can screw with my future life plans, I made this

Whoever I'm dating/involved with/married to at the time will have to go with it because fuck you this took me five fucking days to make and that's a huge amount of commitment for me so get used to the name because this is it.
I already started on one for Spencer, but three-quarters of the way through I decided I hated the colours I had picked (white and burgundy) so I had to take time out of my vacation and go buy some more yarn. I finally decided on pale gold and a dusty pink.
I'll post pictures when I'm done!
I also plan on making a few of these blankets for my aunt (she already has a daughter and is expecting another little girl in October so I won't be starting on that one until the little one's born and officially named)

Districts 8 and 9 complete!
I finally finished these two; District 9 took me quiet a bit of time seeing as I started it before I had to travel to the states twice in the same week (a four hour car ride each way).
That shouldn't really be an excuse seeing as I had about 16 hours driving time, but I get really bad motion sickness in cars if I try to do anything that I have to stare at. Knitting and crocheting makes my head spin and reading . . . I just end up throwing up. Tiny print and constant motion does not sit well with me.
(In general, I get really bad motion sickness. Like flying and fair rides and driving, but the worst is being on a boat. Which fucking sucks because I love the water.)
And I have another trip to the states planned in a few weeks. Awesome.
Hopefully I'll have the entire blanket finished before then, but in case not, here's 8 & 9.

I changed the chart for 9 because I figured if nines official industry is grain, I didn't really get the point of the factory.
9 down, 3 to go!

In the process of making a Hunger Games blanket . . .
I've been contemplating making this damn blanket for the part year and a half. It's a make-a-square blanket with each square representing each individual District (most of the charts I used can be found here -> Shywalker but the rest I improvised) but I'm really really bad at picking colours (almost as bad as I am at picking names for my stories) so I've put it off
Also, I knew that if I decided to make this blanket, I was going to have to shell out at least $25 for yarn because I didn't have any mass-quantities of any one colour.
I ended up just saying "screw it" and starting with whatever I had (which ended up being this really old glittery pink yarn that I have no idea where it came from and two balls of white bernat premium yarn)
I've finished Districts 1 thru 7 and just started on District 8 (which I'm really excited about because I get to use this cool purple colour)

I only have five squares left (including District 8 which I'm working on right now)
I used all of Shywalkers charts except for Districts 5, 6 and 9.
I'll upload a completed picture as soon as it's complete!
Quick question: What colour do you think I should boarder the squares with?
