First off, the list of finished projects:
- National Crochet Month Mystery Crochet-A-Long project: Surakarta Board (I know I messed up on it, but it isn't an item that I see myself using any time soon and I do not think I will make another one; However, this was a great project for me since I learned how to carry yarn and do tapestry crochet).
- Grocery Bag - Made for my mother. There was a smidge of a depth perception moment when I attached the handles, but that's OK since there is now more effective room to tote things like tall produce and bread!
- Winged Hairkerchief - Materials used are a mystery yarn that my mother found when she went out garage sale-ing. Over all, I enjoy the pattern but if I make another one of these I will use a lighter weight yarn or just a yarn of better quality so it drapes nicely.
- Divine Hat - I love this pattern. The textures are firm enough without being uncomfortable and the yarn I used (not stellar yarn but I still like it) makes this hat soft and warm. I think this would make an excellent chemo cap for anyone in need of one, and it is super cute for just wearing around on a cold day.
- City Girl Cap - By far, this is my favorite project that I have done in the past month. Now that I know the pattern works and the minor changes I will make to camouflage the joining stitches, I will make a hat or two in colours I wear more often.
- Flowered Cloche - No picture yet since it technically is not finished yet. I need to make a decorative bit for the side, but the hat itself I hate due to the pattern royally sucking.
- 100-Yen pouch - No picture yet since I am lazy. But this is a simply, cute little coin purse. :3 When I finish the cloche I will take a picture of both the hat and the coin purse. xD
This weekend was a good one. We went in to Portland ti pick up my engagement ring (it was being resized), and we got to have lunch with Syd, Pete and Joe. :3 Sydney loaned one of her knitted sock books to me and I can hardly wait to start working and learning how to make knit socks. xD Hopefully I don't entirely FUBAR the socks the first one or two times I make them!
