I managed to turn this...
...into this...
...and now it's this...
Perhaps a close up will help. With just blanket stitch:
And now that I've done one round of single crochet:
Now I just need to measure to see how wide I want this piece. Then some sewing and button attachment, and I'll have a pillow cover. Eventually.
But I haven't felt like doing much lately. I did manage to pull out some yarn, needles/hooks, and patterns to start a couple new things.
Unfortunately, I can't find the right hook for one of the projects. I'm debating whether to purchase a new hook (I know I have it, but after tearing apart all of the places it could be, I don't know where else to look) or just use a hook one size smaller. It's not something that has to be a certain size, so this would be a minor alteration.
I'm not going to say anything else, as at the rate I'm going, I might not actually touch any of these projects in the foreseeable future. If I get around to any of them, I'll post pictures when I have something to show off.
Have a great week.
You know what will happen. The moment you buy a new hook you’ll find the missing hook.
ReplyDeleteYup, which is why I hesitate to buy a new one. Although, hooks aren't expensive, and it's not like I can't have multiples. I mean, I already do. Just not in that one size.
DeleteLooking good! Songbird is right, buy a new one, there's the old.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteI was about to write what Songbird said. lol That happens to me a lot. Be well!
ReplyDeleteBut having two wouldn't be a tragedy...
DeleteAgree - buy a new one, find the old one immediately.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure it's a subsection of Murphy's Law.
DeleteOh no. I bet you put the hook in some place that seemed perfectly normal at the time and you were sure you'd remember but you don't. Though I may be projecting a bit here...
ReplyDeleteI don't recall last time I even did a blanket stich.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on, and stay safe.
That is so annoying when you can't find the right hook. That's part of why I have three different projects with different size hooks going on right now. I own two H hooks since I seem to use those the most, and try to keep them in different places so I can always find at least one of them. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
ReplyDeleteI probably have two or three H hooks, too. Those I can actually find, though.
DeleteI'm famed for losing hooks, which is how I ended up with about five H hooks. I'm even more famous for losing them while on vacation (husband drives, I crochet) and how do you lose a crochet hook in a car? But I have. Takes special talent, I guess. I assume, meanwhile, that you've searched the nooks and crannies of your sofa.
ReplyDeleteI bet if you removed the seats in the car, you'd find your collection ;)
DeleteLet's be honest, as a crafter, is it really that hard to convince yourself to go buy another hook? ;)
ReplyDeleteVery true.
DeleteNot fun when a tool is missing. These stitches look good.
