Picking this back up

I've neglected this blog for several months now, but I'm going to try to post regularly again. I need to get in a better habit of taking pictures of my WIPs, so I'll have interesting content. Currently I have 2 real projects going and one sort of going.

Project 1 is an amigurumi dragon. It's going to be very cute when I finish. It's a little slow-going, since I'm keeping it at work to work on over lunch. Oh yes, since I last posted I have started a new job and actually have people to knit/crochet with on a more-often-than-weekly basis!

Project 2 is an amigurumi wolf. My friend is working on a terribly cute red hooded cape for her little girl for Halloween and was wishing for a wolf for the baby to carry. I found the perfect pattern, so I'm working on that at home. I'm almost done with the head; today I sewed the ears on and sewed the muzzle to the head. I just need to embroider the eyes (I don't trust the safety eyes for such a young one) and stuff the head before moving on to the body. The head is the most detailed part, so it shouldn't take me to long to finish from this point.

Project 3 is an afghan. I'm calling it my "weight loss" blanket, because the idea is that I will do stripes, changing colors everytime I lose 5 pounds. At this rate, the stripes are going to be very wide...so I've slowed down on crocheting it. Not exactly working how it was supposed to!
