Thursday night things were fun and crafty...
Well, the hall was canceled do to war and rain and that meant CRAFT TIME!!! I sat down with a new ball of stash yarn out of mel's class box, its a "peaches and cream" cotton and boy did it make a difference in crochet! I did a small swatch and then frogged it and went back and made a small COASTER! I washed it and blocked it and I MADE A COASTER! Okay, that sounds like a very small accomplishment but when I just learned how to single crochet on wednesday night and I actually made something I was happy with on Thursday night, I was jubilant. The boys were amused.
Then I had dinner and worked on the embroidery. I got a good ways on that and the thinner thread is really making things go quick. I like that. I started having issues and stopped. The boys started playing zombie COD and I went back to crochet. I taught myself double and triple crochet and I'm about half way through a swatch where I'm alternating the pattern between them after a few rows. Looks like it migh become a kitchen washcloth...dunno. I will have the mistress of all things string check out my work tonight and see what I'm missing on the ends. I have the one side that always looks "odd" and my stitch count gets weird with the double/triple thing. We shall see though. I need to do errands and pie baking this morning and laundry...wow do I need to do laundry. But its all good. I think we wil be heading to joe's soon to have breakfast and to drop off the car to get new tires. YAY!
Well, I think I will work on embroidery and then change for breakfast. All good.
