Project progress

 

I started off round 2 of Renulek's Spring Doily 2025 with a mistake. I thought the second ring looked strange, but I couldn't figure out why. So, I kept on tatting. When I started the second pattern repeat, I realized that I was short one picot and three double stitches. So, I snipped off the mistake and started round 2 again. It looks much better now.

My scrap afghan is now 16" long. It's nice to have something to work on that doesn't take much concentration at the end of a busy day.

Since the weather has turned warmer, I haven't had the urge to finish cowls quickly. This has been my take along project that I work on between lunches at school. It's only a total of about 30 minutes a day, but I do enjoy seeing how projects grow little by little.

Scrappy

I tried to post last night, but the Internet wouldn't let me... again!

I spent quite a bit of time crocheting yesterday. I really am trying to use up my yarn stash, and these Drapey Cowls have been quite popular with my friends.

My basket of leftover yarn balls was getting pretty full, so I decided to start my scrappy afghan. I crocheted a foundation chain in groups of five, but I'm not sure how many stitches there are. I just wanted an easy way to make sure I didn't skip or ad any stitches, and five is my favorite number. 

Right now, my plan is to do the afghan in half double crochet, but I may throw in a few different patterns just for fun. We'll see how that works out.

There won't be much time for crafting today. I'm subbing this morning, and Mom has a dentist appointment this afternoon. I think I'll try posting again tonight, just to see if the Internet is cooperating!
