I decided I needed a break from my struggle with knitting, although it's going pretty well. I'm about 6" into it and still have 15 of my original 16 stitches left--and the edges seem to be straighter, not so many bulges and dips. Today I organized my patterns into a bigger binder and ran across one to make boxes out of Lily Sugar 'n Cream. They looked so cute I couldn't resist making one. Naturally, I didn't use solid colors and break off every row like the pattern said, but I think it turned out darned cute in variegated. I'm fascinated by watching the colors stack up and blend when I work with variegated yarn. I also went to Michael's to return a book I bought over the weekend, and darned if I didn't buy more $2/skein novelty yarn than the amount of the return. I have got to stay out of stores for a while and crochet or knit up some of this yarn!
Had a smoking slip this afternoon, but I've only got 2 left. I swear I won't buy anymore. I promise.

This is so cute! How big is it?
You're doing great with not smoking. Keep at it!

That's adorable!
Don't worry about the slip up. You're doing great!
The box is about 3-3 1/2" in diameter. The pattern said to make the lid the same as the box bottom but my crocheting was tighter so it didn't fit. I had to rip it all out (aw!), add 2 stitches in the base row and redo it, then it fit. I scrounged up a little seashell that I drilled a hole in and tied on the top in place of the called-for bead. It's a Lily pattern that I sent you, psyche, when I got home from The Clearing.
