A Catchall
I haven’t really been posting lately because I have nothing that I want to take pictures of WIP nor have I written much more for Shawna Bell. I have been working on a crochet (amigurumi) monkey by request. I found a free pattern that was originally posted on JoAnn Fabrics’ website, but isn’t up now. I found it on a Google search. Anyway, I am having a terrible time reading the pattern. I get to about row 3 or 4 and then it loses me. I am at least understanding that I have to increase up to a point and then stitch evenly for the arms, legs, and tails. I kind of messed up on the tail because I didn’t increase on the 4th row. I finally bough fiberfill, but it’s still in the car. The heat has made me very lazy. Thankfully, it has been cooling down enough that I feel more motivated to do stuff. Maybe I’ll hem my dress in the next few days and finally post pictures here.
I gave the finished baby blanket to the happy momma to be on Saturday. It was a big hit with everyone (I think!). I will be working on another one fairly soon since I heard that another friend is also expecting.
I also just started the next book in the Retrievers Series by Laura Anne Gilman, Bring it On. I had to wait for the only copy of this installment in all of the Sno-Isle library system to be returned before I could read it. I’m about half way through. So far Wren is working out just the way I like her. I still feel like I only just started, so we shall soon see where this takes me.
