Argh... Started the panda and everything looked fine. The acrylic/wool yarn I used even brushed well. But then I discovered I didn't have enough... With the hooks I am supposed to use, I fear I will need more than three balls of yarn just for the head and body. Of course it's Saturday, and the stores are closed and will not open until Monday, so I have to try something else. So now I have started a new panda, a lot smaller this time. Since I can never bear to unravel anything I've made, I think I'll just leave him alone for now and maybe finish him later, when I can get more yarn.

So many projects, so little time...
Today I decided to join the CRAFT crochet-along and make a fuzzy panda. Sadly the CAL ends on Monday or something (haven't worked out the time difference yet), so I don't have much time :/ I have picked colors and found some yarn to use, so I guess I just have to get started.
Yesterday I went out and bought some orange yarn, so now I can finish a little something I've been working on for Halloween. I am also crocheting the turtle and a mushroom from the book by Mia Bengtsson, AND working on a couple of patterns for my Etsy shop. Finishing all this can take weeks with my efficiency, as I always start new projects before I finish the old ones. I have a thing about small body parts, I can't make more than two of them before it gets kind of boring. So I have tons of amigurumis lying around still missing arms or legs. Poor things. I think I'll have to finish them some day, when I can find some more patience.
