Cleaning for the new year

Cleaning for the new year is on my agenda today. Sweeping out the old and ushering in the new. Still have my Christmas decorations up and will keep them up until after January 6 - the Epiphany.

I made homemade pizza today if that counts for doing anything creative. And I started on a new scarf but didn't like the color so I squared it off and made a dishcloth out of it. I promise to catch up on my photo uploads for these projects but until then I'll post a photo from the Internet and a pattern.

Today I made a camouflaged crochet scarf and even added fringe. I am a big Duck Dynasty fan and many of my friends and family are too, so I wanted to try out a camo-color scarf to see what it would look like. I will attempt to post a photo tomorrow but this chicka is off to bed.

Here are a few crochet links for scarves, if you get lost go to You Tube and see some of the tutorials to get you on track. I love to crochet so you'll be seeing a lot more post from me on my favorite pastime.

I am a huge granny square fan, so my next project that I started tonight is another blogger's pattern. This granny square style scarf is a stitch I am familiar with so I hope the scarf won't take long. I haven't decided if the scarf will have fringe on it or not. The pattern doesn't have one, but I really liked the fringe on my camo-style one, so I'll be thinking about that as I work on this scarf.

Until tomorrow....Granny Square Style Scarf
