No focus

I have absolutely no focus!

 I did it again- thinking I'd pick an unfinished, but already started project, finish it, and move on to the next.  NOPE!  I started to work on a sweater I started 2 years ago, and was all proud to have gotten 6" done, when I realized
A)  I had a messed up row about halfway down, and
B)  I just messed up the pattern stitch, and have NO idea how to fix it.
RRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPPPPPP out the whole damn thing to try again some other day.
I had started a lace table runner.... I'm gonna need to rip that out because I don't think I marked the rows I was finished with...
And a pillow cover from a stitch I wanted to try that I'm now thinking I chose TOTALLY the wrong yarn for, because you can't see the pattern.

I gave up on every one of them. 3 weeks, three projects, and now I'm just making granny squares for the lap afghan I had planned.  Wish me luck that I don't give up on that too!  I'm kinda proud of it since it took me over 20 years to wrap my head around how to make  granny square. The thing most crocheters learn first, I just *couldn't* get.  But I counted everything out, came up with a plan-a-gram, and now all that's left is to finish the border squares, and hook it all together. (:





I love that stormy sky!  That first pic is my new passion.... coasters!  Because I'm hoping to start selling things, and those are useful, pretty, and easy to make.  Whatcha think?  I'm also planning on making some more bathroom tissue covers, and later on, hat and scarf sets.  Not a lot of people make sets, you can get one or the other, but they don't always match.

That, is Myste.  Remember the the tiny kitten? She's now a whale! (:

Well, sorry for the lag... And as usual, 

Thanks for Noticing me!
