New Crochet Pattern in the works

Greetings, from a very cold NE Ohio 9 degrees in March no less.

Oh well Spring is around the corner, or so they say eventually it will arrive, four seasons every year.

So our last visit, I shared with you a design for a cowl I made   Today, I'm going to tell you a little bit about a project I have been working on for about 1 month. I had initially began this with a 1 lb of yarn, discounted yarn at Pat Catans, Darice was the brand. I must admit I am a yarn snob...

because I really like Caron Simply Soft, and that is what is in the old stash bucket, and I have discovered Yarn Bee Soft Secret by Hobby Lobby, just as lovely, and every so soft. 

So actually I am working on the 2nd version, the first one the yarn/finsihed project was too stiff and scratchy for me. I am a tactile I guess.

I watch Little House on the Prairie, and I saw something which I thought was so lovely. And have set out to try to replicate it.  Replaying the video clip over and over trying to at first getting the stitches I thought comprised the pattern. I think I got it. I'm working on the trim, armhole, and neck edging..it will be close facsimilie, I think. I hope I can pull it off, but if I don't it's still a lovely item.

I told you a while back, that  I want Blogger to flourish again, there is room for creativity and communication here, not like FB. And so I am happy when I get a new follower who is a fellow blogger, and we have shared interest, and they actually take the time to leave a comment and contribute. Made my day.

So thank you Jen.....

I like to promote other bloggers, especially when they are followers...

so stop and say hi to Jen.
