Forgive me for all the posts today - last one, I promise. I spent my day watching the Colin Firth Pride & Prejudice, removing 7 rows from my project, and redoing those rows. I‘m now back to where I was this morning, with a new shade of green. I‘m much happier with this! #temperatureafghan

TricksyTails Ooh!! I love the colors!! 💙💚💙💚 Pretty! 7y

Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks So pretty!!! 💗 7y

saresmoore It‘s looking great! You are motivating me to get my yarn boxes unpacked! 7y

DGRachel @TricksyTails @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @saresmoore Thanks all! I‘m changing up the colors a bit from the original template I saw on Pinterest because the pistachio green looked gross and the persimmon is another blah color, so I‘m using limelight and mango instead. 😊 7y

kspenmoll Live your color choices! 7y

ScientistSam Yarn and P&P = perfect day! 7y

DGRachel @kspenmoll Thanks! @ScientistSam It really is a perfect combination 😊 7y

Dolly OMG I made one of these sooo many years ago. Your colors are beautiful, mine was hideous. 7y

DGRachel @Dolly Do you still have it? I‘d love to see it! I found the color grid on Pinterest, but then discovered I hated two of the colors in person, so I‘ve changed them and I may swap out the red, too. That‘s still to be determined. 😊 7y

Dolly Now you‘ve got me thinking...I haven‘t seen it for years and I haven‘t the faintest idea of what happened to it. It was the kind of thing I saw everyday so never really SAW it. It was orange, dk green, sage green, yellow, cream. 🤢I love the colors you have there, but there are more? 7y

DGRachel @Dolly Oh, Yes! This is just the first half of January, where we‘ve had temps between 30-65. Purple for 7y

I think I jinxed myself with Iron Gold. I haven‘t been able to read more than 30 minutes a day for the last 3 days. 😭 Instead, I‘ve been working on my temperature afghan. Here‘s the first 1/2 of January. I‘ve decided I hate the pistachio color, so I bought a different green and will spend the rest of my morning doing reverse crochet of 7 rows to remove the yucky green. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

RealLifeReading Wow! That's an ambitious project! 7y

DGRachel @RealLifeReading I‘m oddly excited about it. If I did my math correctly, it should be about 96” x 93” when finished. 🤩 7y

tomes4gnomes This is beautiful. I love the green, so save yourself the extra work and give it to me when you‘re done. 😉 (edited) 7y

DGRachel @tomes4gnomes 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I‘ll gladly send you the pistachio yarn, as I have one full skein and most of a second ball and will likely never use it. 7y

cathysaid Gorgeous colors and I love the pattern stitching. 7y

[DELETED] 3803335244 Beautiful 💙 7y

DGRachel @cathysaid This is the first time I‘ve done anything more than a basic double or treble crochet stitched afghan. I‘m enjoying the pattern. Basic stitches still, but I love the added interest and texture. 7y

DGRachel Thank you @ForeverNerdy 😊 7y

Pamwurtzler That is beautiful! 7y

DGRachel Thanks @Pamwurtzler 😊 7y

cathysaid @DGRachel You're doing a great job! The hardest thing for me to mater was aligning the edges. 7y

TrishB I was just looking at your posts to see if you‘d done a review yet 😁 7y

DGRachel @cathysaid This pattern has automatic fringe, so I don‘t have to worry too much about the edges. 😊 7y

DGRachel @TrishB I feel like I have reader‘s block. It‘s awful. The book is so good, but I‘m in such knots worrying about what Pierce has in store, that I‘m literally nauseated and have to force myself to open the book. 🤦🏻‍♀️ 7y

TrishB Awww.....maybe come back to it? 7y

TricksyTails It‘s so pretty!! 7y

I had never crocheted before but the library offered a class week & I thought it would be fun to learn. I really struggled with it at 1st but I am now starting to get the hang of it. I have done a little bit everyday since. It has become quiet the relaxing activity.

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Good work! Knitting is fun too :) 7y

CatLass007 Crochet is so meditative to me. Glad you enjoy it. 7y

RealLifeReading Nice! I picked up crochet a few months ago and am loving it 7y

jackilynn @BookHoarder32 I really struggled with this at 1st. It may be awhile before I attempt knitting. @CatLass007 it is extremely meditative. I am loving that it is a good way to turn off my brain for a bit after a long day at work. @RealLifeReading I just started it a week or so ago but am really loving it too. 7y

CatLass007 I tried knitting but it wasn‘t for me. I stuck with crochet though. 7y

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage Sounds good! My sister and I started out crocheting. Then moved to knitting. Now I weave too and she has a spinning wheel. It's all about the fibery goodness! 7y

Booksblanketsandahotbeverage For whatever craft you choose, my recommendation is to buy the best craft supplies you can afford because it's worth it in the long run 7y

Some of my current #nonreadingpursuits are-
Close-up and other nature photography (💚🐸🌸;no people!)
Baking
Learning to crochet
Target shooting (and archery)
Biking, hiking and not running during color runs and zombie runs 😁😊
Painting
Crafts
And LOTS of movie watching.

MaleficentBookDragon Oh and high tea! I ❤️ doing that too! I have a lot of expensive hobbies. 7y

TaylorMay That all sounds amazing. Love the photographs 7y

WarpedSweetness Your zombie makeup is awesome!! 7y

kspenmoll Love this!!! 7y

MaleficentBookDragon @WarpedSweetness Thanks! I was a zombie prom queen. 7y

WarpedSweetness @MaleficentBookDragon That's awesome! Did you wear a dress and sash too? I love zombies! I always wanted to do a zombie run/walk when I lived in PA, but the one in my area always happened to be when I was working. 7y

MaleficentBookDragon @WarpedSweetness I had a tiara, long gloves, and a corsage. It was so much fun. I liked being a zombie more than "running" the race, which I did afterwards. I've done 3 zombie races and been a zombie twice. 7y

#uncannyoctober day 10: today I'd love to know all about your #nonreadingpursuits
A few months ago, I've started learning to crochet (thanks to a lot of YouTube videos) and it's a great accompaniment to reading, especially audiobooks!

Bostonmomx2 My nonreadingpursuit is making quilt blocks. I don‘t finish the tops out but send blocks to charity quilt drives. I‘ve done 3-5 tops worth for Harvey hurricane victims, working today on some blocks for the Vegas shooting families and I have a sad feeling I‘ll be working on some soon for the victims of the horrific fire in Napa/Sonoma. Too much devastation lately but it‘s nice at least a small something. 7y

Megabooks That‘s so cool @Bostonmomx2 👍🏻👍🏻 Glad you‘re enjoying crocheting @RealLifeReading 7y

Suet624 @Bostonmomx2 that's such a wonderful thing to do. 7y

RealLifeReading @Bostonmomx2 that is such a fantastic thing to do. We've been following the news about the wildfires as we live in the Bay Area and it's just so shocking. 7y

Mommamanzi Looks awesome! 7y

My friend took me to the Endless Mountains Fiber Festival today. Why are all my hobbies expensive? But I do love them all. I bought an obnoxious sweater with alpacas on it, yarn, two crochet kits, stitch markers, a wild catnip mouse, and dryer balls. But, best of all, a cashmere goat licked my nose. She also got out of her pen and walked around with me for a little while. ❤️ 🐐 I really wanted to smuggle her home.
#crochetlove

Michelle_mck Envious of the amazing yarn and fibre festivals the rest of the world gets. We have a great huge one but not many smaller local ones 7y

readinginthedark I love this! I need to track down a yarn festival nearby...and probably start knitting again... 7y

ReadingRover Omg! That sound fabulous! 7y

LauraBrook Sounds amazing! And I'd totally smuggle that cutie goat 🐐 home. 7y

CoffeeCatsBooks I love knitting and those are so pretty. Plus, a cute 🐐! 7y

[DELETED] 3803335244 I'm jealous of this yarn store! We don't have one! Hobby Lobby & online only for me ☺️ 7y

kspenmoll What fun!!!' 7y

TheWordJar An obnoxious sweater with alpacas on it?? I think that deserves to be in a pic soon!! 😂 7y

MaleficentBookDragon @TheWordJar I can arrange that. 7y
