Soooooo.  Yeah, it’s been a year since I posted anything here.  That’s not embarrassing or anything.  What can I say, life happened.  I got so caught up with work and stuff, that I just let this whole blog business go.  Anyway, I’m back and I’ve got a few updates.

I’ve moved and most of my stuff is still at my parents’ house, but here’s a tidbit that I’m working on.

This isn’t an original pattern by  any means, though I did add in a color change after the third round that isn’t called for.  I wanted to make the stitch work a little more visible and I like the way it’s looking.  I wasn’t sure how the brown would look with the grey at first, but I’ve decided that I really like it.

The pattern can be found here at the Red Heart website.  To be honest, I found it a little confusing to follow.  If you want to try it, make sure you read it carefully.  I thought the wording was a little strange, but maybe that was just me.  It only took me one square to figure it all out, though and now that I have the stitch pattern down I don’t have to look at it anymore.  It’s always been easier for me to just do it than to read about it.  Hopefully that won’t be a problem when it comes to writing my own patterns.  I have this thing where I know what I mean but it doesn’t always translate to the page as well as I would hope.

I’m using the Caron Simply Soft brand, by the way.  Colors are Dark Country Blue, Woodland Camo, and Snow Camo.  Pretty.
