I did actually accomplish something though. At last, another FO!

I finished the shrug and it fits Alex, and it DEFINITELY doesn't fit me. Oh well, I kinda expected that. This pic really doesn't do it justice though. There isn't really a wonky spot on the front edging either, it was just in a weird position when I took the pic. It is so cute on her when she is not wearing a sports bra with a tank top that is too big for her. (Believe me, I tried to get her to change it for the pic!) I used the Knot Ugly Shrug Pattern from the Happy Hooker book. I modified it quite a bit, but mostly on just the edgings. I really like it on her, and I think I will make another one (a bazillion times bigger!) for myself. I am tellin ya....I really love to crochet! If you haven't tried it yet, go for it. It is fun to achieve stitches that look different from knitting.
Well I am off to continue my organizing, and let me tell ya, many, many things here need it. Yikes, the paper piles alone!!!!!! I also need to plan my knitting and crochet projects for this weekend. I am going to a family wedding out of state, and I will have many, many hours for knitting and crocheting. The trip takes about 14 hrs each way, and yahooie, I don't have to drive. I smell a pair of socks coming...........
