Home Sweet Home
Yesterday, I spent 6 hours (which is about 6 hours TOO damned long), in the car, on my way home.
At the half-way point, I stopped at a restraunt. Let me tell you...you have bad food. Then, you have the food, at this restraunt. It didn't even merit the title of being 'bad food.' 'Bad food' at least has a taste. This food had none of that. The only thing it offered was different textures. The 'garlic bread' had no garlic. And, I think the 'butter', that made the surface of this toast yellow, was not butter, at all. I think it was just yellow food coloring. One word describes the food, offered at this restraunt. Bland. Bland, bland, bland, bland, bland!
When I got home, my dog literally attacked me. He jumped right in the car, on my lap, and began what I will call a 'licking frenzy.' His tail was going a mile a minute. What a warm welcome.
I am so FRIGGIN happy to be home!
My last few hours in Paso Robles, I had my ass parked in one of the comfy chairs, at a Starbucks. On the table beside me, my Cinnamon Dolce Frap. I pulled out my yarn, my hook, and went to work.
And, some guy could not help but STARE at me. He was a college guy....probably about 19. And, in some way, I must have offended the hell out of him. It was like I was committing a sin. Thou shalt not work with yarn in Starbucks. He scrunched up his face, something awful. It looked as though he had ate a raw lemon. I honestly wanted to ask him. "Can I help you?" I mean, he just stared. And stared...AND STARED! What the HELL! Just go back to reading your textbook, you college punk! And, while your at it....you might seriously consider taking a social communications class. You could SERIOUSLY work on your FRIGGIN people skills!
Finally, still glaring at me (as though I were some disgusting freak), he quickly packed his stuff in his bag, and rushed out.
"Bye-bye, college bitch-boy!"
When I was no longer the center of harsh attention, I was able to get into a comfort zone.
And, I worked my first of the two squares I created, yesterday.
Square 26!
This square has 6 rounds to it. It was a fairly easy square to create. I sipped on my delightful drink, and hooked my way through the instructions, for this square. For the sample found in the book, they used a green yarn, that resembles the color of split pea soup. So not a cool color. So, I chose to, as always, use my own shades. I worked the first five rounds in a light purple. The 6th round, a frame worked in double crochet, was done in my watermelon yarn. (I should say that I am becoming more comfortable using my watermelon, and mango yarn...just not in the same thing.) So, check this out.
The second square I created, square 20, was equally as easy.
As for today:
Well, I will most likely take a break from the squares. It is time to seperate myself from the grannies...at least, for a day.
I will spend my day working the flowers for the shawl. I am not really sure how many of them there will be. I will just keep adding them on, until I feel satisfied. I know that I am doing the pink flowers. But, I may also choose to throw some brown ones on, just for texture. I am not really sure, yet.
But, I do know this. Be ready...
Tomorrow, my dear readers, you will see the shawl!
Well, I am off. I know this is a short entry. But, everyone around me feels the need to draw my attention away, and I am simply not able to focus. Let us just hope they get it out of their systems soon, so that I can have peace, when working on the flowers.
Happy crocheting!
(Just a note: Look on my profile page, to see the update on my project. As of today, I have posted the complete 28 projects.)
