Miss: I saw this idea on Pinterest; adding a crochet border to a piece of fleece. It really wasn't worth the time or effort. The end result is cute but nothing special. Fleece does come in some fun themes though so it may be worthwhile if you find a pattern that is specific to a loved ones interests and just want to add a personal touch. I went around with a seem ripper and poked holes every half inch. Then I went around doing a single crochet in each hole with a chain between each one. That was followed by a row of single crochets, a row of double crochets, another single crochet and finally a ripple border.
Hit: I have so many small balls of random yarn laying around so I started on this "scrap" blanket and I'm absolutely loving it. I love the random stripes in all different sizes and I love having something to do with all the bits and pieces of yarn I have. I plan to continue adding to this until I have a full size blanket. You can use any stitch you want with this project. I just did a big chain to the width I wanted and then all the rows are single crochets. I wanted something really small so that I can continue adding to it for awhile. I love how simple and mindless this is. I have been so stressed lately so it's nice to be able to just sit down and keep my hands busy; I really don't have to think too much about what I'm doing.
Have you had any craft fails lately? Or come across any particularly fun projects?
