We had a touch of Spring this past week as the temperature reached 60 degrees F. It was short lived as it reached a low of 28 degrees F that same night. This week coming it is supposed to be quite chilly, tomorrow at the bus stop it will be a balmy 17 degrees. The reason I bring up this crazy New England weather is because finally, I got around crocheting my boboletta last night. I am determined to finish it before the official start of spring, so I can at least wear my sweater once before the warmer weather. I started this sweater on January 12th...but have not consistently worked on this for weeks. My only excuse is that I started watching Buffy The Vampire Slayer series on dvd. It is such a jam packed hour, that I can not crochet or surf the net while watching...or I will seriously miss an important detail. And, I guess there would be time to fit in crochet as well during the evening if I stopped at just one episode a night, but this is not the case. I end up watching 3 or 4 episodes a night. It is so addicting. A friend of mine got me hooked...as I never was into the series when it hit the airwaves in 1997. Just to good.
I have not forgotten about crochet completely. I have been busy organizing my new craft room. We finished remodeling our basement, so the boys have a new playroom downstairs. So, the playroom upstairs became available for me to take over! I started to organize my yarns. That is no easy feat. I have a lot of cottons and acrylics. I have been really disciplined since the first of the year and have not bought any new yarns. Obviously, I have really not started any new projects...but that is besides the point ;) I am trying to make my craft room an oasis. I have some pretty scented candles...planning on perhaps getting a big comfy chair and possibly an area rug. I have taken all my crochet books and magazines and neatly placed them on a shelf. It is getting there.
Have not forgotten about you...but i would hate to bore you with non crochet stories. especially since there are no new crochet stories. But alas, I really need to finish some projects and move on to new ones.

sounds like you have been a happy camper even if you are not crocheting.
Post away. Even non crochet is interesting. A whole craft room is such a wonderous luxury, isn't it? Do get the cahir. and a table to set your teacup on. Then you are set for having a little away time, just by going into that room.
I have worked with other acrylic yarns that did not feel like this yarn. So I am not sure it is the color or the yarn.
Spring it is the talk of the town. Lovely photo.
Can't wait to see your boboletta! I'm glad it's warming up too.
Have a Happy Easter.
Happy Easter!
Now I know why I have not seen you on the ville.
I keep looking and wondering where you have been.
Great news on the craft room. Believe me, you will always keep moving things around. It does put a perspective on what you have and what you need.
Good for you. Hope you all had a great Easter.
Sorry Gina, I am the last anonymous poster about the Ville.

Thank you Gina for your comments once again. Yes, I am using the skip blade rotoary cutter tool to make the holes or else using the holes that the stitches that are there have created.
