even more slacker?

~4 April~

I know, I know . . . I’ve been a HORRID blogger lately . . . I went on holiday for Easter . . . LOVED visiting with family and miss them tons already . . . but it’s been difficult to get back into the swing of things so to speak.

I decided to put fringe on the ponchos . . . I think it adds a certain playful dimension, don’t you?

And, I know I did the poll, but it ended up being tied . . . and I had a WIP that I wanted to see if I could make portable (I ended up emptying out my backpack and sticking the huge ball of yarn in there . . . and voila!) because I want to finish this blanket in time for Christopher’s birthday next month.

This was started on 20 March and this is my progress as of 1 April . . . less than 2 weeks later . . . as you can see it’s working up FAST!  Hooray!

I got the pattern from http://www.bernat.com/pattern.php?PID=2395, but ended up having to correct the 2nd row . . . so if you ever use the pattern, make note that the 2nd row needs SINGLE crochets and not doubles . . . otherwise your pattern ends up looking wonky . . .

Today is the last day of spring break . . . and I hope it will be nice . . . Fridays we usually have a ‘family date’ and it would be nice to take a walk in there sometime too. 

Of course, this weekend is General Conference and I’m excited for that.  It will be strange not to have President Hinckley there, but I know President Monson is the Lord’s chosen prophet for us now and I’m looking forward to what he’ll be teaching us . . .

Have a wonderful weekend and I promise I’ll be back on Monday . . . Someone want to email me a reminder Sunday night? LOL
