Updating on my progress

I've completed several projects that have been in the works lately. The baby ripples are done, as well as Sam's afghan. The main project I'm working on right now is Rosa's afghan. I'm getting pretty far with it, as it's the only project I can think to work on at the moment. I've got other yarn, but few other projects that I've thought of to work it into. Odd, huh? Well, I will have a project from my mom soon---22 corsages for the nurses at dialysis. And I found/dugout a project that I was working on last winter (the infamous "shrug" long sweater, which is now getting big! LOL!!! How AWESOME is that?), so I'm thinking some of the yarn I dugout with it today might just end up going for that.

While looking at a fellow No-End-Ripple poster's blog, I had a fun inspiration to write about. The blog's name is Fiber P*rn, and in her url it's pron instead. Well, the first thing I thought about was Tron, thanks to the hubby. What a cool idea it would be to do a FiberTron, where the characters are hooks or something in a crocheting machine (I've always wondered how stores like WalMart get their crocheted items, because I can't imagine someone selling off their wares knowing it would go to a store like that---so I've always imagined a machine must do it, and thus this idea had some of it's origins in that---I mean, there's knitting machines out there, right? So maybe it would be a knitting machine). They still have the whole bit mindset that users are just like gods (you have seen Tron, so you can follow along, right?), and they have to start somewhere---like the tournaments with each other to move from basic programs to specialized or whatever is where the needles move from being cast-on needles to specialized piece making ones, or circular type needles or something (this is in it's formative stage, and I'm tired, and just throwing out ideas here, so bear with me!)....

But it's a fun thing to bat around...:-) Nice to feel the juices flowing!

Anyhow, I wish I could post pictures of the recent completed projects, but right now the camera is MIA so no pictures :-
