I hope everyone enjoyed fiona’s blog post on Friday. She’s been busy reading blogs and things for her next guest spot. She says thanks to everyone who commented. Your comments just made her smile!

I know she said I was going to post on Sunday, but we got kind of busy with family things so I never got around to it …and lookie here..its Tuesday already! So..kind of late, but here we go.

Yes. I crochet. My grandmother taught me when I was very young (maybe around 4 years old) so that I’d have something to keep my busy and help me sit still. I wonder if that’s why I can’t sit still now if I don’t have anything in my hands to work on? hmm… Anyway, I love to crochet, but it sometimes hurts my wrists so I can’t do a whole lot of it.  Occasionally I get the bug to crochet and try to find something that won’t kill me to work on.  I searched around on Ravelry and found the pattern for Juggling Hex’s by Wendy Harbaugh. I’m using leftover sock yarns and I’m using it doubled. (only because I didn’t have the right size hook and I was too lazy to go look for one) I figure this way I’ll use up all my leftover bits and bobs of sock yarn and eventually end up with a blanket.

So yeah…two hexagons done…a gazillion more to go.

So I’ve always been a big fan of goddessknit’s patterns. She’s doing an anniversary mystery shawl and of course I signed up. Who doesn’t need another project right?

She released the first clue on Friday and I had that done pretty soon after dinner.

I’m using the 100purewool.com lace yarn that I showed a while back. LOVE THIS YARN! Sorry I couldn’t get a better photo, but I am NOT taking it off the needles to block it for a photo. I did chart B (there is an option of 4 charts to pick from)  Hopefully I’ll have another lovely picture of my progress on the shawl after this next weekend. I can’t wait for the clue to come out.

In other news, I’ve gotten all of the warp wound and chained for the loom and actually have started the warping process. I hope to have photos and a description of loom warping tomorrow. (If I can pull Geebaloo off her new laptop long enough to take pics for me)

Until then….
