The month of February typically is the month we tend to get the most snowfall. Now we are thawing out, and having some flooding. Heck, Wednesday we started out with everything frozen again, then snow showers, followed by a day of rain.
Yesterday we woke up to fog. The weather is all over the map right now. Just after dinner time last night, we had a rain shower.
Ribbit, Ribbit. 🐸 Sounds like Rip it, Rip it. It's where the term "frogging" a crochet project comes from. Ripping out stitches due to mistakes in previous rows.
I did more frogging this past week than I wish I had, ha ha! I worked on the blue and white baby blanket, but kept making mistakes. I am not sure if it was my husband talking to me, or if I was just having an "off" day. Ha. If fact, I had to rip out a few rounds last night (again) due to an extra stitch I had made in a previous row. I hope to get it finished soon.
Update on the "book" blanket granny squares.
. . . some embellished paperclips, to use up the last bit of some crochet thread.
I found a new pacifier holder pattern, and I love it. Funny story about finding it. I went on a search, so I could make one to gift with the pink baby blanket soon.
I can't exactly remember how I saw the one I liked. Maybe doing an image search? Once I found the one I wanted, I checked Ravelry. All of the finished ones were noted with a pamphlet or copy of Crochet World Magazine. After extensive searching, I somehow found a book that it was published in, and wa-la, our library had a copy.
My first crocheted pacifier holders - Pattern is from Crochet Crowd. As you can see at the clip, it is rounded, and slides back and forth on the clip. It's cute, but I was not really that happy with the final results. I also had a hard time getting it to lay flat, even after blocking it.
Last month, I was him-hawing about getting rid of a bag of misc. beads. I'm glad I did not. I used some jewelry supplies, jewelry tools, spare beads, and created a way to attach a row counter to my project bag (or project) for traveling. Talk about a happy gal. No purchases needed. The row counter actually came in a bag of odd assortments from a thrift store haul years ago.

We had thunder and lightning in NE Ohio last night, the rain came down fast, and flash froze. Nice crochet finished projects...I'm working on something with thread, I hope I finish it. I'm playing thread chicken and waiting for JoAnn to fill the order. So far, they are shipping everything in separate deliveries, the white crochet thread I ordered not shipped yet.
All fun projects. I finished a baby blanket just before bed last night so will begin a new one today. Love that row counter progress keeper. It works great. And, of course, your book squares are perfect.
Blessings,
Betsy
You are so talented. I love your work. Happy weekend.

Faith, crazy weather for sure. I plan to go to JoAnn's to get yarn (sigh) . I will restock baby blanket yarn, but not sure if I want to buy much more. I hope to find one with what I need this weekend perhaps.
R's Rue, thank you!
Betsy, thanks. I do need to get the blue baby blanket finished. At least I now have a pacifier holder to go with it. I may make a matching baby hat too, but need to find a pattern that uses the same yarn I'm using for the blanket.
