I’m still hooking (crocheting)! Latest projects:
My cinnabar cardigan (design by Doris Chan). I struggled with this, and it turned out a bit too large – but I’m still rather proud of it. I made Doris’ “in-line-links” for a closure.

Hooker’s handiwork

I’m still crocheting… for the most part, it still serves as a relaxing hobby – except for those times I get super frustrated and want to throw the yarn and the work-in-progress and everything else out the window. Those are the times I need to take a deep breath, a big step back, and remember [...]

As I noted previously, I am relearning how to crochet. Last I wrote, I’d made a lumpy coaster, a quarter-scarf (not enough yarn for an entire scarf, so I ripped that out), and a skinny scratchy scarf.
