I feel like I have not been home. Because I have not. My Dad's surgeries are done but he is healing slowly. I spent an extra week with him. When I am there, I walk when I can but he needed someone just to be there. I did run an errand for my Beloved's business, went to a museum exhibit, and looked for yarn.
I was running out of yarn to work with because I finished this sweater while I was there. It is a Lion's Brand kit for the celestial sweater. Arcylic yarn which I usually do not work in. It was very splitty and I cannot compost it. But this is a great sweater to travel in. I flew in it home and was warm. I also had silk on underneath it.
I will say I do not read crochet patterns well. I do not think I pay attention enough. But then I really do not follow patterns when I sew anymore. I use the pattern shapes but do not read the process. So this is the celestial pattern but it is not at the same time. I used a different size hook. I made up the counts. It did make me realize I need to take out another sweater I am working on and make the arm holes smaller. That sweater will then fit better and be more the length I want.
I am at the point of leaving yarn at my Dad's. I will put a lace weight shawl in my bag but I will always have a project there. I took the extra yarn and started to play with granny squares. I am going to make those into lined bags and put them on my Etsy site just for fun. It has been awhile since I have done that.
I actually washed a bit of fleece today. I want to make more ribbon. I am coaching a friend once a week. I just want to be home more. Maybe soon.
