Forays into Crochet

I have a hook, and I know how to use it.







So I don't know how well you can see the "glitter" from the picture, but that's Lion Brand Glitterspun in silver, and it finally came yesterday.  I ordered 5 balls hoping that would be enough to make both the fingerless gloves and the infinity scarf and now that I've worked a few rows of the gloves I think I'll be fine.  They are going to be bulkier than what the pattern calls for but I honestly couldn't find a better yarn that fit what my friend wanted.  I'm using a G hook.  I think I'll be fine.




These are a couple of pictures of Cheeto - he'd hopped up on the couch and, upon discovering that the box the Glitterspun had come in was empty, proceeded to cram himself into it.  He's not a HUGE cat, but he is full-grown and he just barely fits.  As you can see.  He probably spent a good hour there, in the box, next to me while I started the gloves.  It was too cute to not snap a couple of pictures.

These are the markers I got from my swap partner on Ravelry.  Aren't they fun?  I especially like the two in the middle :)


So now that I've found the *perfect* shawl pattern, I just have to re-swatch to see if the yarn I originally bought will work for it.  If not, I guess I'll have to find something else.  In the mean time I've started stash-busting, and I may have mentioned this in my previous post, but I've completed 3 hats so far.  I'm going to be at this for a while - I have plenty of WW to work with, as you can see by the picture of my stash below.  The pattern I'm using works up in 1.5 - 2 hours and it's very rewarding to complete a project in such a short time span.





Good times.  It's a good thing I love to crochet.  XD
