Mini Rings of Change CAL Week 2 and Start #2

A little late in the day, but here it is!

Rounds 1 through 5 in Grape, Black, and Neon Green. 

Linda's first five rounds are beautiful in purple and yellow; you can see it here. 

If you're joining us in the CAL and haven't gotten this far, don't worry; just keep working this next week. We're going to add rounds 6 and 7 only, so you have plenty of time to catch up.

I'm really trying to get control of my yarn this year; it's kind of all over the house. When we put up the Christmas tree, I had Tim move the yarn cabinet. He came to the conclusion that I don't need any more yarn for awhile.

But, of course, when my friend called today and said she found yarn at a resale shop for 50 cents and $1.00 a skein, what was I to do?

Four double skeins and four regular skeins of Red Heart Super Saver,

one Caron Simply Soft, two Loops and Threads Impeccable,

one Bernat Baby Coordinates, one Red Heart Soft,

two I Love This Yarn,

and five skeins of Homespun 

ALL FOR $20!!

Couldn't resist :-)

That being said, I'm striving to do a lot of stashbusting this year.

I have two new things on the hook (like I don't have enough already!); these are strictly scrap blankets made from all the little balls of yarn I have everywhere.

This one is a scrap along hosted by Zelna of Zooty Owl. It has no rhyme or reason as to color and is just worked on whenever I feel like adding another hexagon (or two, like I did today).

This one is modeled after  Lucy's Patchwork Granny on Attic24. But this one will be a 2015 blanket; one square per day. It's not a mood blanket. Whatever color I happen to grab is the one that gets added. Solid colors only. 

I managed to squeeze in a little cross stitch today, just enough to start #2 for the SDUCJFC.

Summer Quilts

There are two posts holding up the line of quilts; this is part of the left one.

Thanks for reading and looking.

Blessings :-)
