Despite having multiple errands to run today, as well as supervising lunches at school, I found the time to complete the 5th pattern repeat on round 13 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2025.
Tomorrow looks like it will be another busy day, but I'm going to do my best to finish another repeat!
It has taken a while, but I've finally reached the halfway point of round 13. I think it's look great, and if I took two hours a day to work on my doily, I could have had this round finished in just eight days. All it takes is focus!
I really thought I'd get around to tatting today, but it wasn't to be. We had quite a few chores to do around the house, and it was just easier to pick up my crocheting and work a granny stitch section in green on my newest afghan when I felt like taking a break.
Maybe I'll have time to tat tomorrow!
I was still in the mood to crochet today, so I started another afghan. I'm using Inger Soto's 12 Step Sampler Blanket for inspiration, however I am not following the row by row pattern. Instead, I'm using the stitch patterns that appeal to me and working the pattern for one skein of yarn. Some stripes will be smaller as I'm using some partial skeins of yarn.
The blue stripe is half-double crocet. The light grey stripe is Sand Stitch. The red stripe is Cross Stitch.
Tomorrow is going to be a busy day, but I'm hoping to get some time to tat!
I just finished my scrappy afghan, and I love it! It's 50" wide and 70" long, much longer than needed for me. I'm 5' 4". Our school superintendent is retiring next year, and he's about 6' 4", so I'm thinking of saving it as a retirement present for him. However, I might change my mind!
