On the way home from work I was tempted to drop in at Village Dry Goods in Brigham City for a new pattern. Just what this new pattern was to be, I had no idea. I just knew that it's been years since I was in that store and I am a pattern junky.I was running on zero sleep (I believe I actually got 2 hours last night) and after spending 8 hours with 150 teenagers who were crazy with holiday hype, I was ready to give in and have a few me minutes before getting home. The zero sleep factor came into play, as well as the fact that I have oodles of untouched projects at home, and I settled for dropping in at McDonalds for a large $1 Mr. Pibb before heading through the canyon.
To satisfy my craft craving, I indulged myself by looking through the various sites on craftgossip and came across this project in the knitting section. It happens to be crochet-- which I prefer, or at least am more comfortable doing right now, being fairly new to the knitting scene. I agree with the craft gossiper-- I love the pattern but would have no occassion to wear something like this. Should I get around to making this project (a selfish one, so it probably won't get done. Me projects tend to never get finished, if they are ever begun), I plan to modify the pattern so that it is a cardigan rather than a duster. Wouldn't that be pretty? We'll see if it comes to fruition. The best parts? 1) I happen to have this yarn already (in a light blue) from a project that was planned and never happened years ago, and 2) the pattern is free! Here is the link should any of you be interested in trying it for yourself.

Check me out! I figured out how to make a link. Check that one off my list! Wasn't hard and didn't have to wait for summer after all.
I do have some projects nearing completion. I was hoping to finish at least one to post before I had to return to work, but it didn't quite come to pass. Hopefully before January is over I will have the two on the front burner finished and up for you to see.
