Week 52 Challenge


#57 Alternate Mesh Stitch

An OK block. I love filet crochet and this is somewhat similar. I can't believe this challenge is almost done! What should I do next as a challenge? Suggestions anyone?

Dazzling Details Jacket
Designed by Garnstudio/Drops
Crochet! Magazine, September 2009
Yarn: Baby Bee Sweet Delight, Grape Jelly

I gotta say, I love this jacket! It's just too bad that the weather is finally warming up and the jacket will need to be put in storage with my other sweaters.

99 Snowflakes
Leisure Arts

Every year after our Thanksgiving Brunch, all our guests get handmade Christmas ornaments. Last year I gave everyone a set of crochet clothespin angels. This year I am giving snowflake ornaments. No, I don't plan to make all 99 snowflakes!

What I am Reading
After reading Beloved, I need something a little lighter. So, instead of diving into another literary classic, I am reading Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling. I don't have any soul-searching quotes this week; just reading for fun.

Other Stuff
There isn't much else going on in my world. The pollen counts are very high and keeping me indoors. I hate that, because I am a big outdoors person. My garden is calling me! Looks like it is time to get a mask I can wear when working outside.

On another note, my work area is a mess. I have so many projects going right now that it is time to stop starting new projects and get the old ones completed. I, at least, have good intentions.

Please visit my shop on Etsy.

Have a good week!
