Babbette

I don't really like posting without pics but my excuse is I can't find my camera at home. But i had a bond weekend that was the best which is probably why the next weekend was so bad. I spent two days and two nights baby free even had a drink. did all kinds of yarn shopping. The next weekend i tried to do it again and she caught some virus threw up 8 times scared the mess out of me! Anyway back to the point of the blog. I have started listening to Lime and Violet. The last podcast one of them was talking about making a Babette form interweave crochet spring 2006 issue. She was calling it the crack of crochet. Which peaked my interest and off i went to search. It was actually ugly ( i did not really care for the colors) but i thought it was a great stash busting project. I have a whole box of yarn at home and i came home with a whole bag of free yarn from Michelle which i was going to make a log cabin out of. Until i saw the Babette and thought yes stash busting who care about he colors but i could not help thinking that that the Livingstone colors i was making my log cabin with would be so cut in the babbette so that is where i am . As son as i can get pics i will post some. If i am doing a baby blanket I have one strip down. And the bad part. I am not even finished with the first one and i already want another one. Another lady made a solid one. she is as bad as i am she hasn't finished her first one and she stared her second sold one. so let me finish this one and a solid one is one the horizons.

I finished my black nylon bag a really really want a large white bag. one my great knitting weekend i found some lime green nylon thread so i put the white bag to the side to create the green bag. it is not coming out the way i want to so i out it to the side. what was supposed to be a side project stash busting project has now followed me to work to work on at lunch! yes the Babbette in progress is beside me on the floor. What is confusing me is how to put it together. What color do i use to sew it all together is any color suing the back loop only. I have seen it done the traditional way. I am already doing the squares the traditional way i want to at least sew it together like the original. I have to put some question out there.
