What's Doing Wednesday



 Oh, a little of this and a little of that.  Yarn still being hooked - the ripple blanket slowly coming to completion.  It really should have been done this weekend but I wasn't happy with how a section was looking so ripped out and redoing.  Its been comforting tho working on at night with the cool weather we've been having now.

Have slowed up on the bobbles and zigzags also ... I am thinking maybe I would like better using a larger hook, maybe doing it in a double crochet and maybe crocheting in the back loop only ... lot of maybes.  So I may be redoing this one as well.  There was a time when I wouldn't think of doing over, but have found as I've gotten older I don't mind doing that, especially in a pattern I love.  Wow, does that mean I'm finally developing patience?


Although my yarn projects are still being done out of my stash (and will be for quite a while to come) I recently picked up some very pretty thread colors at Hobby Lobby.  Summertime creations being planned.

But I did have to start a small doily ... there's just something about thread crochet.  I think its my number 1 crochet passion.


Aside from the crochet world, had taken a break from the Weight Watchers front for a bit but planning to re-start shortly.   It really does make for feeling and moving so much better.   I did attend meetings this past time and met such wonderful people and learned great tips and I have to say I do miss this interaction.
To work at noon, think I'll give the steel hook and thread a whirl before having to leave.

Blessings and all good things,

  5. I think I like the thread best of all too. It is nice to switch off, but there is just something about the thread crochet. Your ripple is so pretty. And look at all the wonderful colors of thread...what will you be fashioning up to show us...:)

  7. Your ripple afghan is coming along beautifully! I've been thinking of making an afghan for Dear Daughter, for a wedding gift, but I don't know which pattern I plan on using yet, and whether I should ask her, or just surprise her. I never was very good at making decisions, but we'll see... Can't wait to see you new doily as it comes along! ~tina

  8. I haven't had time to do a thing all week. Thankfully, one more day of school and then the weekend begins, so hopefully I can pick up hook and yarn -- or even do a little cross-stitching. Your found ripple is beautiful! That's one pattern I have a feeling I would mess up royally. :) Have a great rest of the week. Tammy
