I have this need right now to feel like I am finishing some WIPs. I think it is because my two cross-stitch projects are quite large with no end in sight.
I started this Picot Edged Scarf at the beginning of this month.
It is from an old 2003 issue of Woman's Day magazine, but it can be found here. It is a really quick crochet project. I used variegated worsted weight acrylic yarn from the bargain bin at my local A.C. Moore store. I bought it a while ago because I just loved the colors and it is very soft. The colors match my kitchen and I had thought I would make some trivets with it. I have two plus skeins left so I still might do that.....or make another of these scarves.
I don't know whether I will keep this for myself or not. I have several scarves, but I really do love it.
I have also started making this Diamond Trellis Basket.
I have some Hobby Yarn that is fairly stiff. I knitted a scarf with it to practice my knitting, but it is not soft at all.
Once again this is yarn that I inherited that I hate to waste. I think the basket will look great in this blue yarn. I have a lot of blue around my house so it will fit right in. I can use it to hold some of my craft projects.

I finished reading Insurgent by Veronica Roth quite quickly. This is another page turner and I was disappointed when I came to the end. I wanted more. Of course there is more to the story, the next book is Allegiant. I went to the library on Saturday and picked it up. I was really looking forward to reading it, but it is in a different voice and I am finding it difficult to keep straight whether each chapter is from Tris' or Tobias' point of view. I am so glad I have this in book form rather than on my Kindle as I need to flip back to the beginning of some of the chapters to figure out which character is speaking. I will reserve final judgement on this book until I finish it.
Ginny is not posting today due to the tragic loss of a dear friend. I will be joining Yarn Along when it returns.
Thanks for stopping by!
