Todays project. Worms in the Grass... better than frogs in the house but that is another story.

I bought the Vanna Choice yarn by Lionbrand last night. That is what the pattern called for. Didn't like the feel of the yarn. We all know how much I like cotton. And what is a project without me redoing it in some wee way?

So, I happened to have laying in one of my many hat boxes of yarn, some 100% cotton, sage and tan.

Not sure about this pattern. I made the hat for a 6-12 month size but it doesn't appear to be that big.

Found a Joann's near me today, decided to go forth adventuring to find it. It is only supposed to be about 4 miles further down 50 past the Michaels.

I finally find it. Sadness. It has a huge sign across the front that says STORE CLOSING. I call Sharon, and tell her, but then I decide, maybe just maybe they will have some yarn on sale, that I like, and I will buy it all. *laughs*

Little did I know... but... they had the yarn that Sarah had chosen for her blanket. Lionbrand Homespun, Williamsburg. It was the only yarn in there that I liked, and that there was enough of the one color. A sign reads: buy 12 or more and get 70% off.

So I got her yarn. $58+ worth of yarn, for only $17.96. Weee!

Off to Borders bookstore: Pick up the next two books in the No 1 Detective Agency Series by Alexander McCall Smith. Books 4 & 5.

Michaels in same shopping plaza: One tiny little skein of Bamboo yarn. Oo! I love this yarn. Going to make a Baby hat with it.
Also, the yarn needed to make the Worms in the Grass hat.

All in all, a good evening. My yearning to touch more yarn has been satisfied even tho I didn't find the yarn I went to look for.

Watched a movie yesterday afternoon. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Really not an easy movie to watch, when planning to crochet at the same time. I refuse to watch it in anything but Mandarin, and well.. since I don't speak Mandarin... you get the idea! *laughs* So I didn't crochet nearly as much as I could have.

Today, I indulged myself in 4. Went grocery shopping very early this morning. Picked up two new (to me) movies. Finding Neverland. What a fantastic movie. Didn't know it would make me cry tho. Then to combat the sad feelings I watched 3 more movies. I did get a-lot crocheted on Sharon's blanket, but I did not get my nap.

Here it is so far. I did 5 rows pink, one blue, tan blue then more pink. I decided instead of repeating the blue tan blue I would just do a single row of blue then next time tan. When doing the 3 together is really adds a lot of yarn to hide in such a small area. It is likely doubled in size since I took the picture the other day.

Just for the curious, the rip count on this blanket is twice now. I am on Take 3. *smiles*

Choosing a name for this blog!

I have to thank Sanya for her suggestion of a name. At first, I couldn't begin to understand why on earth she would suggest Froggin' in Florida for a blog name for my crochet exploits. That is, until today when she replied back, that the reason I had to use the name was because of the sound a frog makes.

Rip it! Rip it!

*laughing* That is perfect. I think that it is a wonder I ever complete a project at all. I spend more time ripping out the rows I have done!

So here it is.
