As usual, Lindsay Lohan, the young lady who survived Disney, is being hated on again. This time for wearing a blue Givenchy suit that only she and a few others could pull off. The suit is fly and Lindsay is rocking it!

It looks like Ms. Lohan is off to a new start. I wish her well and thank her for remaining fashionable through all of her rough times. Go Lindsay!

I signed up on Etsy several months ago. I finally got the nerve to open a store. The next challenge was posting something good enough to sell.
It was scary putting something I've created up for sale, but I posted a skinny-scarf that I crocheted. I thought the scarf would just sit there. I didn't charge a lot for the scarf because it had a couple of flaws - they are hard to find. This is the scarf: The scarf is 80 inches long and 2 inches wide. It's made of 100 percent Lamb of the Wool cotton. When I checked my Etsy account the morning after I posted it, it was gone! Sold! My friend Krystal purchased it. That was so inspiring that I've been knitting non-stop since then and can't wait to post more items on Etsy! I'm more confident in my creations now. Thanks Krystal for the inspiration!

I’ve been trying to teach myself to knit. I went out and bought needles and yarn. I bought a “Knitting For Dummies” book and it doesn’t help me. I’ve watched videos of knitting, after around 10 times, I could cast on to one needle, but when it was time to use two – forget it!
One needle is enough for me, so I’ll stick to crocheting.
I hadn’t realized that all the yarn I bought was acrylic. I want to use yarns and fabrics made from animal, vegetable and plant fibers. I don’t want to use synthetic fibers at all.
I’ve found this information on a Web site I like called Annie’s Attic. There, I learned that cotton is a vegetable fiber, as well as linen. I knew that silk was an animal fiber, and will definitely use it for some garments.
Here is a throw I started to make for my bed:
I bought the yarn without checking the fiber, turns out that it’s 100 percent acrylic; I’ll be using it for practice. I’ll perfect my technique and be ready to construct high-quality pieces really soon. It’s Lion Brand Yarn’s Hometown USA line and it was on sale, so I bought it. Lion Brand also makes the the types of yarn I want to use, so I’m not dogging them.
Right now, the throw looks like a baby-scarf. But it will begin to look more like a throw soon, I promise.
I will post photos as I make progress. If you notice anything I may be doing incorrectly, please feel free to share.
Thanks for visiting my blog! Come back soon, and feel free to post your knitting or crocheting projects and/or advice. Check my Web site, Riquee.com for updates as well.
