I stopped at Michael's today on some down time at work and got a really neat crochet pattern book...of dishcloths of course! It has 99 patterns in it, and it was only $7.99! Later in the day I realized that 1/2 of a page was ripped out (numbers 21-22) so I will have to exchange it, but I am still pretty stoked.
Also, I picked up a (gulp) knitting dishcloth pattern book (pamphlet thing) and some size 8 needles. I would really like to master knitting. And by master, I mean complete one project that has both knit and purl stitches haha! To date the only thing I've finished is a scarf made entirely of knit stitch...and I made it in that awful homespun stuff that splits like crazy, so it was uber frustrating.
Although I've probably blown my crafting budget (what budget) for the week (month, year?) I need to go to Joann's tomorrow for a couple things still.

Sex-ay Wallets and other swaps
Well I finished the garden scarf and the one skein scarf for the following month. I still haven't completed the crochet hook roll (well I finished it, but it is messed up, I need to re-do it) or the clutch. I've been doing a lot of sewing lately. I made these wallets out of paperback novel covers, I found a tutorial on Craftster and modified it slightly.
Also I made a purse and goodies for a purse swap on craftster. I had quite a bit of trouble with it, I hadn't sewed from a pattern in years, and now I remember that I hate Butterick patterns. It's lined in a green/brown silky fabric and closes with a magnetic snap. I also did a crocheted journal cover with room to hold a pen on the spine area with vintage ribbon to hold it closed, a crocheted roller skate key chain that I made up the pattern for (my partner liked roller derby), and a crocheted bookmark.

Crochet Projects To-Do
Ok, 3 crochet projects I promise myself I will finish by the end of June:
1. Felted crochet hook case...I just need to do the inside!
2. Clutch purse...need to sew lining, crochet trim, and find and attach the perfect button
3. Garden Scarf for CAL...I would really like to finish this by the end of May and get started on June's project in a timely manner, but not really thinking that's going to happen right now.
