Passing the Time With Summer Crafts


Since school ended for the summer, I've spent the last month searching for a job so I could do something productive in addition to the incredible internship opportunity I was lucky enough to get this summer. I did manage to get a job, but not til very recently. So since I've just been laying around the house for an entire, uneventful month, I decided to work on a few projects I'd been putting off. On the left, is a cross stitch pattern I started over a year ago and lost. I  found it while moving out of my dorm room and started back up. On the right is the second stegosaurus I've knitted. This one is for my little brother's birthday, I just need to finish the plates and stuff and sew on the feet. I've really enjoyed working on these, but I start work this week and my awesome internship at Fresh Produce next week, so I don't think I'll have much time to keep working on crafts. I will get photos up when these are done, and I also just acquired a whole mess of crochet hooks, so keep an eye out for even more projects!

  1. Looks good so far! What pattern are you using for the stegosaurus? I'm looking for some dino patterns for my friend who is preggo and already has one dino-loving kid. :D

    I used a thinner yarn so I found myself using less plates than called for. Hope your friend likes it!
