Tollway Tatters

Tollway Tatters met yesterday via Zoom. Zoom has been wonderful for us, because we now have people join us from all over! I was only able to be part of the group for about 45 minutes yesterday morning, so I'm not sure if others joined in later. While I was on, our group included Bernice and Deana from Canada, Mary from California, Sue Anna in Alaska, Robin in Wisconsin, and me in Illinois. Although I truly miss our meetings at the Hinsdale Oasis, it's fun to meet tatters who live so far away from me.

I worked on "Asymmetry" from Four Dozen Tatted Bookmarks by Robin Perfetti. Now that I'm joining my rings correctly, this pattern is very easy to tat!

I finished my double crochet cowl the other night. This one isn't as big as some of the others I've made, but it still does the job.

I chose a pattern from my Mix & Match afghan book for another cowl. The finished piece doesn't look the same as the photo in the book, because this is crocheted in the round rather than back and forth as I would crochet an afghan. I knew that would be the case, but I wanted to see how the pattern would change. This pattern, "Neat Sweet Ribs",  is all half double crochet and slip stitch. It's very cozy!

Dave and I had lots of errands to run yesterday. We were gone for about six hours, and I was exhausted when we got back home. While we were gone, Mom was busy knitting.

She finished this beautiful scarf for me! Mom has given up her machine knitting and gone back to hand knitting. Can you tell she loves knitting cables?
