New Hat (ARS Intersession)

For my school's 2019 Intersession, I joined the Getting Cozy one where all we did was watch movies and knit or crochet. I had an amazing time touching up on my knitting and crochet at the time. I even made 2 new friends. I started this blue hat with some yarn I bought from hobby lobby. I used a ribbed hat pattern I learned last year and I think it looks pretty nice.

Birthday Bundle

I had a wonderful birthday on Monday! My family and I went to a new Chinese buffet in town and the food was delicious. Before the dinner, I had to go to school and perform a winter guard performance in front of the whole school. It was very nerve-wracking, but it wasn't like I haven't done it before.

I got so many birthday gifts, I feel so spoiled! My mom tried to give me 16 gifts for my 16th birthday, and so far they all have the phrase SWEET 16 on it. I know turning 16 is a big deal, but I guess I haven't felt the excitement yet. 

I am so thankful for the presents that all my friends and family gave me. I want to thank all my friends for giving me yarn! I love yarn and I always get excited when I see it! I can't wait to make something with them. I also got a Hobby Lobby gift card, which I'm really excited to use. All I need is time, but I'm still looking forward to shopping. Sometime soon, I'm going to have to attack the yarn stack in the corner of my room. It's making my room look super unorganized. Maybe I should start looking for a yarn organizer.

Hobby Lobby Discovery

Hey! I hope everyone's day is absolutely fantastic. Tuesdays are sometimes a struggle for me, but I'll hang in there! But I'm here to talk about something fascinating I saw last Saturday.

I was in Hobby Lobby on my way to look for a big crochet hook to use with some clearance-priced yarn, when I noticed a girl standing in the yarn aisle. She was right in front of the crochet hooks, so I kindly waited for her to move aside. I couldn't help but notice that she was also shopping for crochet hooks; maybe for one of her projects at home or school. I might have jumped to conclusions at this moment, but it made me feel good knowing that there are still kids my age and maybe even younger are embracing the art of crocheting. How neat!

Shout out to the girl I saw in Hobby Lobby!

Also, this is the hook and yarn I bought. It turns out the Yarn is too big for the hook but I'm still glad I got the yarn on sale. Got to save them dollars! 

One last thing.

If you are a young crocheter just like me, feel free to give me a heads up on how you're doing with your projects! I will do my best to get connected with y'all.
