Today I made great headway on my own knit+crochet scarf in blue cotton.

Year 1 Month 1 Day 9

I finished another scarf yesterday and again forgot to take a photo.  What a dork!  But I started another scarf late last night after the eleven o'clock service, but fell asleep without posting it.  Here it is...

Year 1 Month 1 Day 8

Crocheted a "pearl" granny square and a "little flower bouquet"

Year 1 Month 1 Day 7

Well, I didn't get anything NEW created today, but I did run at the Rec Center and took a shower and voted for a new Worship pastor and...  I did more work on the blue scarf.  OH!--And made three Christmas gift bags.

Year 1 Month 1 Day 6

I also finished my friend's scarf, but it is already wrapped, so here's the other scarf I'm working on.

Year 1 Month 1 Day 5

Made good headway on the cotton scarf after work today.  And made it before midnight too!

Year 1 Month 1 Day 4

Vacation day again, so I've been very busy!  In addition to the following photographed items, I made Chocolate Mayonnaise cake and Eggnog Fudge.  Well, on to the crafts.  I made a one-skein scarf for a friend-all crocheted, in dark jewel tones.  I started knitting a brown/blue scarf in a cool leaf lace pattern.  I also started a cotton scarf for a very special friend.  Shades of light brown with desert rose hues, in a mixed knit and crochet pattern.  If it turns out good, I bought similar yarn for me in blues.

Lest you think I am slacking...

I have a vacation day and that's why I'm able to work and post before ten.  And here's where I am so far on the granny squares afghan in greys.

Year 1 Month 1 Day 3

I've moved on to double stitches. I'm never certain if I should crochet the whole stitch or just one side of the loop.  This book shows all three ways but calls the first one the basic stitch, so I guess I should crochet the whole stitch unless they say otherwise.

Year 1 Month 1 Day 2, from my phone, too

So I did crochet a few swatches yesterday.  I just didn't get them posted.  I didn't realize how long each episode of Sherlock (BBC) is and ran out of Tuesday rather suddenly.  I also had trouble getting nice shots of the work.  Sorry. Funny grey blobs with barely focused text.  Nice!
