Life has been a little crazy for me lately, and sometimes when that happens I stop working on creative projects. Things just get busy and I have other things that I need to take care of and craft time kind of gets pushed to the back burner. The problem is that when I stop taking that time for myself I feel it, I miss it, it is something I need.
Lately I have been trying to make an effort to use up some of the yarn in my stash. I love having a yarn stash on hand but it was starting to get a little out of control and I felt like I needed to use some of it up before getting more yarn.
It is Creative Crafts time again and this week is the Christmas Edition. A bunch of craft bloggers will be sharing Christmas crafts this week, with a fun giveaway at the end of the week so be sure to follow along.
I have very mixed feelings about variegated yarns, especially those with really short color changes. They can be so pretty on the skein, but they can be hard to make look good in a project. I think they are better when knitting but the nature of crochet stitches can make them look like a bunch of colors just threw up on your project. It can be hard to see the stitches or the stitch pattern and just kind of look like a mess.
