stitching the days together

Dark most of the time. Must add color to days. Can't just play word games on Facebook all day. Must DO something. Must create.

So...I have lots of small projects going to keep from focusing on the number of hours until the solstice.

This is my first attempt at french knots, thanks to a tutorial on Purl Bee a terrific sewing and knitting and generally thready site. Does that look vaguely like a chrysanthemum to you?


The wee little afghan was one of those projects started some other winter and put away for a couple of months...it gained that weird voodoo that put away projects sometimes get where they seem to have grown more difficult by being stored. When I took it out of the cedar box, it wasn't messed up! It hadn't grown more difficult or crooked or weird, it was fine thank you.


Last night, I accidentally made only three sets of crochet in the middle of this one...didn't even notice until I got to the dark purple! I kind of like it. I'm going to try to add a line of triangles to the fine thank you afghan.
