]]> I’ve changed the name of the Moday blog post to Monday Me Time! This has been done for one reason, because I can! I don’t know why but it came to me in a dream for the past couple nights to change around the blog topic names. So it’s done.

Today’s post is a picture post of the “Shawl of Doom.” Those of you who follow me on Twitter know I’ve fussed with the Seraphina’s Shawl pattern for a good long while. I have tried my luck with 3 different types of yarn and only this last round has worked out. Using a non bumpy/tangly/splitty yarn has helped what little sanity I have left! We all know I’m a crazy hooker (Not THAT kind lol I mean the crochet kind!)

So today I proudly show off my progress on the shawl I lovingly call the “Shawl of Doom!”

I've finally started to figure it out!

Recently I have been able to work on a few things. Today I don’t have pics but I should have them by weeks end. Thanks to a loving furbaby in my house I have a camera cord and yet I can;t seem to find the thing. I’m guessing it got snatched when I was cleaning up the desk area.

I’ve been working on what I lovingly call the “Shawl of Doom.” I am notorious for not finishing crochet projects. I have had 3 attempts at the Seraphina’s shawl pattern. 1 with homespun, 1 with boucle and 1 with some real thin yarn that seriously made my head hurt when I realized I’d gone through a ball of it and have a shawl made for a barbie so far!

I decided to grab a nice green skein of Vanna’s acrylic yarn and have one last go at the pattern. I couldn’t be the problem with it it HAS to be the yarn! I was right it’s the yarn. I should have listened to everyone that told me that a bumpy yarn will drive me insane when crocheting with it.

Next on my agenda is to put together some jewelry. I have a few car protection pieces to do and maybe a few necklace and bracelet sets. I want to learn how to correctly make a wire loop and I can then start making earrings that don’t fall apart.

I hope you are all having a wonderful week. Don’t forget to check out the giveaway here that will end Thursday!!
