Updating Control Tower

I have had a serious lag in crochet activity over the past two months.

I started dating someone and it's been going amazing and I got a job (it's not a good job, but I get paid so I'm not complaining) so I've been a little busy.

I've only completed two hats in two months and I'm kind of going into withdrawal right now.

It actually got so bad that I started another blanket. This one is a present for Shayne (my boyfriend) for either his birthday or Christmas, whichever I get it finished by.

Hopefully I'll start having the motivation to make a few patterns by the new year and not be so lazy about it

Hunger Games Afghan COMPLETED!

I DID IT
I FINALLY DID IT
I COMPLETED AN ENTIRE AFGHAN
IT'S ACTUALLY DONE
AND IT DIDN'T TAKE ME 3 YEARS

It doesn't look huge, but it is. And it's heavy. I can't even use it right now because it's too heavy for summer. I tried last night and I ended up waking up sweating like crazy and kicking it off my bed

Now I just have to finish the other two afghans that I started . . .

Supernatural Enochian Protection Sigil Chart

For all my fellow Supernatural lovers

50 x 50

I suggest using sc throughout, and starting from the bottom left corner (I don't know if there's really a set starting point, but I've just always done it from the bottom)

Please post pictures! I'd love to see what you guys are using it for!

Avengers Insignia Chart

My best friend (Annie) and I are huge Avengers nerds so I've been wanting to make something for her with the Avengers symbol for the longest time but wasn't able to find a good, universal chart so I made my own

Chart is 50 stitches by 50 rows

Will turn out best if you use single crochet for the entire thing

Please post pictures of what you decide to use it for; I'd love to see what you all come up with!

Updated

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)
