Crafting at work

Well, I have a day job. Although I love what I do, it doesn't pay enough. Until I get a car, I am kind of stuck because I can actually walk to work. Ah well, anyway, sometimes when a job is in the laser engraver, it can take a little bit of time. Today, I brought some stuff to crochet. Sometimes, especially this time of year, we get a little slow. Well, today wasn't, but I did have a job that took a little over 10 minutes in the engraver. So, I whipped out some yarn and the pattern I printed out and whipped up this little gem:



It took me a little longer than 10 minutes because I was on the work computer trying to get a program for another one of our engraving machines to work (no luck). I found the pattern for this on Ravelry. I have to watch myself on there. I have over 200 projects in my queue. hahahahah I made a few others last night. One a nice bright red wool, a fuzzy white and some other yarn that is like a skinny chenille of brown, black and a thread of silky brown twisted together. The first one looks nice. I might pimp it out a bit more by adding a bead or something to the middle of the circles to give it some character. The fuzzy one is cute. I am not sure where one would wear it. The last one, the bracelet came out the bigger size that the pattern gives. The one pictured is made out of cotton yarn. 
I was going to clean tonight, but I am beat! I didn't get to sleep until after 5 am this morning and I had to be up less than 2 hours later to get CJ up and ready for school and then get ready for work. So, after I fold the last load of laundry, I may help myself to a glass of wine and settle CJ down and relax while crocheting. I am going to make a few more of the bracelets and then maybe some hats? Eh, who knows. Oh, and I am definitely going to stay away from Ravelry! Yeah, right.
Oh here is the link to the pattern for the crochet bracelet:
