Thursday morning finds me without much to share
with you except to show the progress I am making
with my log cabin granny.
This is one of the most relaxing projects with
the only real decision
to make being what color to pick next.
I walked into the living room this morning and
couldn't resist snapping a pic of how the sun light
captured all the bright colors. Believe me,
the photo really doesn't do it justice.
My goal was to bust the stash, and it is happening.
I have been tempted to drape it on the couch and
stand back to check color placement, but I told
myself no, I will just deal with the out come the
way it ends up regardless of any odd color
placement. I have tried to eye-ball it while in the
chair, trying to balance mainly the dark colors
and the bright red. What you are not seeing
is all the ends on the back. Yeah, yeah, I know,
I said I was going to try and weave in the ends
as I go, but I lied. I absolutely hate that job!
And I know from reading other blogs it is
not a high point for anyone who works with
yarn or thread. In fact I have thought that maybe
a gal could open a business where she does the tucking
of threads for people, like maybe 5 cents a tail, lol.
I also see where some folks collect the snipped tails.
Heavens, I would have a zillion by now had I done that!
How about you? Are ya tucking your tails?

Hmmmmm, it's sooooo beautiful! Sunlight coming through the windows...it adds such a special something!
ReplyDeleteIt's looking pretty Susanne. I feel for you having to tuck in all those ends - that really is the worst part about changing colors a lot. I tuck my ends in a few at a time because if I waited to the end, I probably wouldn't do it. I hope you're having a good day. :)
ReplyDeleteYour blanket is coming along great. It looks like a fun stash busting project. I need to do one of those myself. Maybe this winter....Have a great day. Heather
ReplyDeleteI think it is beautiful, so bright and wonderful. And anything you have to say is just fine with me. I have to admit I sew the ends in right away, I always do I am a bit obsessed that way.

Bright and colorful make a day pleasant. Do whichever way without sticking to rule is pleasing. With fall approaching thought it's good time to do more crocheting. Do more for Holden..... Have a nice weekend.
