This pile of crocheting that I was working on?
It became this hooded scarf for Koda Bear. He seemed to really like it. I just made an overly long scarf with a cables down one edge. I did get it to him before the last day of Christmas!
I folded it in half and seamed it up the back of about 10 or 12 inches. The crochet stretches a bit there so he has some movement. I also used Lion Brands Mandala Bebe yarn so it changes throughout the cake. It is acrylic which I do not really like to work with but for the boy, I thought it was a good idea.
It was pretty chilly while we were in Washington and he wore it around the house. I also realized that he stole Poppa's coat to model this in. I guess that tells you a bit of how warm the house felt! But I do think it felt warmer then normal during the winter. It might just be because I was always moving.
I have not really worked on much crochet since I have been back. I am almost done with a blanket that I wish to finish so I can work on one of the four sweaters I am making for myself! Or the two shawls. I also want to spin. That has not happened this week. I am building a table instead of working with textiles.
I am thinking about going on a camping trip this weekend. Just over Monday basically. If I do, I am taking crochet with me. I will also chose to go thrifting. Ideas for chef rolls abound but I find the ones that are more interesting are what seems to sell. I also need to learn to wax cotton. There are a lot of new skills to be learned this month. Who knows what all will happen before I leave again for my Mom's memorial. Which is one of the thoughts of not going camping. What will be will be.
