Eight Days from Beginning to End

It took me eight days to use up two skeins of 160m, two of 120m and four of 70m plus a little white yarn extra. In the beginning, I had to frog one evening's work because it was wonky (I wasn't paying enough attention to the tutorial video and the thing kept increasing in width, not good!).



I still need to measure the finished product but it's wide and long enough to be a shawl that keeps me warm on evenings spent on my terrace.

Ripply crocheting madness!

With me being well and truly decelerated and unable to run around doing household chores on the weekend, I turned my attention to crocheting.

When I was a child, it was the first craft I learned properly and I always considered it inferiour to knitting. I know a lot of people do. But I recently bought rainbow coloured wooden crocheting hooks and I'm not sure I will ever go back to knitting. Crocheting is much less stressful on my hands and so much more effective.

That's me, 40 and a business major ;-)
