Yarn is an addiction for me, it is my happy place, and gives me peace. Seriously! Now there are times that I growl in frustration at whatever project I'm working on...but for the most part, crocheting makes me smile. So when I get the chance to feed my stash I do it with GUSTO! This past weekend was once such chance. I am not a fiber artist that can afford the really expensive yarns so when there is a sale, or coupons you can find me taking advantage of that! I was shopping for an afghan request. I got to choose the colors.
The pattern I will be using is a broomstick pattern, so I also got a dowel and had my DH sharpen one end to make it easier to draw up the loops and to crochet them off.
I also got a pom-pom making set because anyone that has ever made poms knows that they can be difficult and tricky.
And I didn't stop there! There were a few more skeins that called to me.

And I have started one project already! A hat for me.
The pattern was a bit confusing as the stitches just don't look the same in the pictures compared to what mine looks like
And I have some custom buttons, designed by me, made by my dad! These go on the brim of my hat, well two of them will!
I hope I get this hat done soon, otherwise it will be too warm to wear it!
