Thanksgiving was great!

Now for some harvest-themed lace. The wheat lace in progress:

Wheat Time!

Today I got an email from Peggy Smith. Everyone from Wash U knows her emails are super exciting. It means that you have a package awaiting.

I knew exactly what mine was. 1.55 miles of Aunt Lydia's Natural Colored Classic Cotton, lace weight. 

After I got home, I started some wheat lace... You can't really tell at this point, since the wheat stitches starts two rows after the one I left off with. 
My pictures came out really dark for some reason.
 The outermost round always looks uneven until the very end... 'Tis life.
Here's where I'm at right now. Looks uneven on the outer edge, yes. But the wheat is coming to fix all that!

Bow Love.

Go with what you know

I love lace. Here's some pics of my room, all decked out in lace I've made.

All my laces


 I invented this pattern on the plane to St. Louis just messing around. I didn't like it until I put it up and saw this photo.

They say to go with what you know. I know lace, and I love it.



I get by with a little help from my friends

My friends from my apartment helped me get my yarn out of a knot so I could finish my hat. Thanks, friends!

Here's the hat. I love the pattern.

Finishing up.

That is me wearing it. Though I am not sure I look human here.

Crocheting up a storm this weekend.

I am making a cabled hat for the first time. Take a look-see. 
It's black, despite what the picture suggests. The stitch guard makes me laugh. I folded it flat to show off the pattern.

Crocheting Keeps Me Sane

Lost another family member. Crocheting gets me through. Here's my finished doily.

I wore a black bow today. I haven't worn a bow in a long time. It felt different.

Bow Love.
