Good evening! I have had a busy fall, with no time to update at all! I just completed my student teaching in English as a Second Language last week. Pretty soon, I will hopefully get my teacher certification for my state and a my first full-time job! With the holidays coming, my mom asked me what I was getting my dad for Christmas. Well, I didn't get anyone anything. That had to change. So I dug around in my stash for some yarn to make a Christmas pudding ornament for my dad. Then, a TARDIS ornament was added. Then, I added a weeping angel and Dalek to the mix. My sister made me add a mince pie to the collection. So, the British Ornament set was born. My dad is English, so it works. I added the mince pie ornament to the blog. Please enjoy and have a happy holiday (if you celebrate one). This is a pattern for my Mince Pie Ornament. It uses US crochet terms. Enjoy! Items needed: 3....

Last night I started crocheting a pink quaggan with my metal F hook. After a while, my middle finger started hurting. I decided it was time to invest in an ergonomic crochet hook. So, today I went to Michael's and bought an F-hook by "The Crochet Dude." Too bad they didn't have the Clover brand ones, as they are prettier... Guess what's on my Amazon wish list now... My pattern isn't very round right now. I'm hoping it will round out soon or else I'm going to have to start over and the pain in my finger will have been for nothing! I am upset that Michael's doesn't carry animal/safety eyes used in amigurumi. It is an essential item in the creation of amigurumi and they sell books on how to make them there. Shouldn't all the supplies required in their construction be sold at their store?! Jo-Ann Fabrics carries them in their superstores but I would prefer to not go to my workplace on my day off. Next time I'm not closing wil...
