Works in progress

My afghan is coming along (this is only about 1/3 of it. It's going to be enormous!)



and I'm working on a threaded crochet motif from Donna Kooler's Encyclopedia of Crochet, which I got out of the library.

so cool! wow, the motif looks very intricate. i like the picture, *grin*; the glasses go very well with that tiny hook.

It's pretty intricate. OTOH, it's all stitches I've done before, tho' way smaller, and the book uses different abbreviations for them than the sampler afghan book I learned with, so there's been a certain amount of undoing and grumbling and consulting of instruction sections.

And thanks re: the picture. I started taking a picture of it, and then I realized I needed something in there for scale.

Yay for $10 drugstore glasses.

Stunning! On both counts. Oh, how I envy your mad crochet skills.

Thanks! One of these days I'm going to convince you that it's not hard. (I still can't get the hang of knitting.)

Wow, beautiful. I really like the color choices too. I wish I could still do handwork (I get RSI and have to save my hands for typing at work).

Thanks!

Agh, that must be frustrating.

I do tend to get addicted to crochet and do it until my hands are aching. Tsk.

Lookit!

Wow. I am so in awe of people who can crochet. I just can't make sense of it.

The afghan has great colours, too.

I'll download my crochet brain to you, if you download your knitting brain to me.

Thanks!
