Placemat

The long anticipated wait of the BK Placemat. Ok so it is my first real project after resuming my crocheting activities. I didn't quite follow the instructions and it came out not as tall as a normal placemat should. I added the border around it and think it turned out pretty good. It is still a little small, after putting a setting on it but I think it is still cute. It probably can double as a doily.

Setting

Found an excellent new sushi joint called Taiyo Pacific Grill & Sushi Bar. The presentation was beautiful so I took a picture for all to enjoy. Enjoy.

I realized that I have not blogged in a long time and let me tell you why. I wanted to showcase my first knitting project. But then I realized I suck at knitting and decided to crochet. (I have crocheted in the past) I found this cute blanket pattern and got started. Well a month later I am only about halfway done and of course decided to start a smaller project to showcase. I found a cute placemat pattern and got started. Well let's just say I am super strong or super retarded but I broke the crochet hook. It was not one of those metal ones but an acrylic one. They are cheaper and now I see why. So I went back to A.C. Moore** and bought the metal crochet hooks so I don't break anymore of them. Hopefully in a couple of days I will be able to show off my fancy placemat!

**A.C. Moore is a craft store in the East that has 3 aisles of yarn! I didn't know there were that many types of yarn.
