WIP and Yarn Along 4/24/13

Good Morning! Happy Wednesday! I am already counting down to the weekend.  I've had extra hours at work and have to work half a day Saturday which cuts into crafting time.  We've had a rough couple days weather wise in the Midwest at the end of last week.  Lots of rain and lots of flooding. 

Onto today's post...Joining in with Tami and Ginny as normal today.

My purple and gray blanket is finished. I am not thrilled about it.  Apparently my tension got tighter after the first 10 rows or so...so it shrunk in size.  I will probably put a border around it and see if maybe I can somehow even it out that way.  Has this ever happened to anyone? I'll save the rest for a FO post but since my new project is the same pattern just in boys colors I figured it was relevant in this post.  I have to watch this time around to make sure it stays even. I literally just started this project and the picture will show my starting chain as I have not even completed an entire row yet. It will be green, white and blue.

I am still working on a ruffle scarf but have been kind of blah about it.  It's not my favorite thing to work on lately even though they are so quick to make.  I started another blanket over the weekend as well that is circles within squares and would be a great portable project because I can join everything later.  I was following a pattern but with my tension the pattern didn't work at all so I'm just kind of winging it and making up my own pattern based on the original.

Reading has been an anatomy textbook and the same Kay Hooper book.

Have a great day! Check out Tami and Ginny's sites for more on what other bloggers are working on and reading!
