I finished this tonight while zoning out on some TV (yay for WWE Smackdown, hehe). I really liked the square and the design, it was easy once you got past the first row - simple pattern repeats. I used the hook that was called for, not thinking about the fact that my squares always come out smaller then the pattern, so when I finished this one it was only 9.5 inches - I added another row of brown, join at corner, sc, ch 2, sc, sc in next stitch, sk 2, sc in next st around, then another row of blue, join at corner, ch 5, dc in same st, 2 dc in ch2 sp ’til next corner, 2 dc, ch2, 2dc in corner sp, repeat around.(if you have any questions please let me know, it’s late so I have no idea if these will make sense.)
Here’s a picture!
So, I want to learn embroidery. I know how to cross stitch and I’ve flirted with embroidery before but I’d really like to learn. I’m not sure what I’ll actually use it for, but it seems like a good thing to know. I’ve been looking all over at different sites and what not and I found this really awesome site with some tutorial videos. The blog Feeling Stitchy posts some awesome stuff too - she updates nearly every day!
Here’s my May square from Craftster too -
I got some pictures of my March and my first April square.

I finally finished the scarf I was working on for Michael, it’s a side ways scarf. I couldn’t find a pattern that I liked so I made up my own, it’s the first pattern I’ve done, and lucky it was simple enough I could manage it, haha.

All links are clickable, I squish ‘em down for the blogs, so you don’t have to scroll past these HUGE pictures.
Here’s my two squares. I’m using Red Heart Coffee and Spa Blue. It’s the colors I want my bedroom to be, eventually. I think I’ll link to the patterns also.
