The crocheted cowl is progressing a slow inch at a time. I’m not a huge baseball fan but it seems like city law to be watching the Cardinals in their post season march so I do land in front of the tv from time to time. Sometimes I sit and drool and sometimes I pick up a project. Let me amend that to I really try to DO something but lately it’s been hard!
Even if this cowl never saw the light of day as a finished project in it’s intended form it has been a tremendous success. First of all those looooooong rows have given me the discipline to form nice stitches and learning the crochet tensioning trick which had eluded me so far— well it is coming along! Holding the yarn in such a way to get the crochet all happening while applying useful tension was really a problem but I think I’m getting it!
I’d love to make Yarn Things’ Amimomo Kimono, simple and yet very wearable:
and this lovely, the Ribbed Waist Tunic by Marlaina “Marly” Bird and Jill Wright (below):
Sometimes, just having a list of things you want to create is enough. This is one of those times!

I love the crochet and I think you are doing a fantastic job. Believe it or not it is supposed to be faster than knitting. I am dreaming of some projects after I get a few finished. Hugs to you,

Ummmm . . . OK . . . So, in addition to a bracelet, I’d like to order one of the Ribbed Waist Tunics (because I think it would accentuate my svelte figure….hey….I hear you laughing!) in red, please, and one of the Kimono’s in a lovely blue. Not that you are taking orders . . . but if you were, then that would be mine.
Hugs, my dear! Thinking of you!!!
It’s lookin’ good! For me crocheting and tension took a bit to learn but once I got it, I got it. Knitting on the other hand…no matter how hard I try my stitches are either too tight, or they’re so loose they’re falling off the needles! I tip my hat to knitters!
