It's no secret I love to craft. It's no secret I have many unfinished projects. It's also no secret I have a craft supply ahem stash. Maybe a
big stash nice collection. So when I decided to join in on the Ripple-along hosted by
One Crafty Mumma, I thought hurrah. This was the chance to do some crochet, serious crochet!
I
learned to crochet back in the far-gone days of May 2010, when the thought of making baby blankets, baby clothes and washers was going to be more than my dream. Don't get me wrong, I have done lots of crochet. Just nothing big or in time for baby Jessica to wear. So the Ripple along was a great opportunity to make the
Attic24 Ripple rug that I love!
So now it's the end of Week 3. Hmm with only a few rows to show. Not because I don't want to. Because I'm stuck! I was hoping to blog weekly my progress, but I've almost come to a grinding halt! Noooooooooooooooo!!!
I've almost run out of wool. When I started, I thought, that won't be a problem. I had bought them from Spotlight. It was a Paton's brand. I'll get some more. No. Nope. Nil. Nada. My local (not so local really, 45 min drive) no longer had them. So I'm at a cross road. What do I do now?
So I've got my labels (thank goodness I saved them). I'm now on eBay and online web-stores trying to get the best deals for the closest match in dye runs and colour lots.
So anyway that's my story of my Crochet Ripple-along. I'm down but not out. Just running behind (not entirely a new experience for me!!). So fingers crossed I get the balls of wool I need so I can keep crocheting!!
And for those wondering why this blog post isn't about stamping and papercraft (as per regular programming), the moral of my story is - never stop adding to your stash. You can NEVER have enough!!!!
