Hey Gramps, what time is it?


So, it's late and I'm too tired to be witty.
I'm crocheting again, not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
But what I do know for sure is that, when I'm done, I'll have the coolest grandfather clock on the block.
Hahaha.
On the clock block.

Thanks to a book by Anne Halliday "Decorating With Crochet" published in the 1970's, I have become inspired to clutter my walls with this awesome crochet clock.

Had to teach myself jacquard (tapestry) crochet which, apparently, is crocheting by looking at a chart/image instead of reading a pattern and requires the use of many, many, many color changes... It's been fun... and tedious... so far.






I have the clock base done. That's about a quarter of the way through. Wooot! I gotta say that making this has turned out to be the best decision I've ever made... Clockwise. Bahahaha.

It's Fourth Of July Weekend And....

I don't want to lose my parking space.
I'm passing the time by doing laundry and training my cats to for the ultimate fighting championship.
