Yesterday I saw a UFO or more specifically I saw 5 UFO's

You ever get to just scrolling Instagram and then come across a post that has a # that you absolutely have to jump right on to? That's what happened to me on Friday. There I was minding my own business scrolling through images of my best friend's baby boy eating an ice cream cone, possible inspiration that I might be saving to send my hubby later and some really beautiful crocheted shawl images. When out of the blue I come across this post for something called the #ufoproject. Now for those of you that don't know me it is worth pointing out here that I always have somewhere between 7 and 10 different projects going at any one time. I blame it on the fact that I probably spend at least 1/3 of my awake time scrolling through Ravelry. So needless to say; when I came across the #ufoproject; I figured this would be a great opportunity for me to finish off some of those projects that I've started. Here are the list of 5 UFO's that I saw on Sunday.

So much has happened over the last 2 weeks...

This is where I should point out that I have in my possession 1 knitted blanket in a garter chevron pattern made from Redheart super saver in the colorway Mexicali.

It can be found here. Free Flora Blanket Pattern I fell in love right away and maybe 2 hours later I had it cast on. It’s made 1 square at a time. They use double pointed needles but I can’t start out knitting on just 8 stitches on 4 DPN’s so I chose to start out on a long circular and then transfer to DPN’s and then when I was up to 96 stitches I switched 20 a 23 inch circular to finish it off. The end result is nothing short of s

I got 9900 ideas and I finally finished one

You know how sometimes you are just scrolling through Ravelry, Etsy shops, or Pinterest and you just keep coming across patterns for things you want to knit or crochet? That's me all day; every day. I can't tell you how many times I have gone searching for 1 pattern and before I know it - I'm up to 126 patterns to buy in my Ravelry shopping cart, 311 projects in my queue and 1665 favorites. To make it easier on myself; I have started just clicking om the patterns link and scrolling through what ever is the newest - several times a day lol. That's how I came across this little quickie by www.yayforyarn.com . The pattern can be found here on Ravelry https://www.ravelry.com/designers/yay-for-yarn-patterns . So as I was saying - I found this little quickie of a pattern. I live in Florida; but I am northerner at heart.
