This is my side of the couch AFTER I sorta straightened things up. Then there is everything draped all over my craft table. I have a whole day to craft ... and you know what I really want to do? Go buy some more yarn to start another project. I probably won't even stop myself.
In other news, the alpaca yarn is classified as heavy worsted (what would that be ... #4.5?), so it totally won't work for the Icelandic Turtleneck, which calls for fingering weight yarn aka Super Fine #1. Well, maybe it would work if I made an effort, but I tend to crochet-rip-crochet-rip the first time I make something and the fuzzy alpaca (it's brushed to look like mohair) is very hard to rip out because the fuzzies tangle together. The alpaca is going to become the warmest, softest scarf ever. You can see it just started on the floor there in gray.
The rainbow blankets and the pink blanket are all for donating to
Tricot du Coeur. The deadline is the end of March, so I have plenty of time. They accept crochet, knitted, or quilted blankets, so if you have the inclination and the time to make something to warm an ill little one, get over there and sign up. :)
