I guess it’s easy to see that I’ve not been hookin’ near as much lately as I had been.

I’ve been in a slump of sorts — there are some health issues with my youngest (noth­ing life threat­en­ing, but they’re a con­stant thing right now, so that’s where my mind has been for about 2 months!)

She will be hav­ing surgery in August to cor­rect the prob­lem, so I am hope­ful that it’ll ‘take’.

Any­way — I still need to take and post pic­tures of the last few things I cro­cheted. I ended up mak­ing 2 tank tops with my vin­tage pat­tern. I had intended on them to go to my old­est DD, but she com­plained that the top was ‘itchy’ — I made it with Sim­ply Soft, so, I under­stood. My youngest snatched it, and dances around say­ing “I not itchy!”

The sec­ond one I made with Aunt Lydia’s Denim. First off, let me say that this yarn was a total sur­prise for me!! I’d heard of it for eons, but assumed it was like Rug yarn or some­thing. I went to my LYS and she hap­pened to have a skein, and I wanted to try a lighter yarn for the tank top pat­tern. I was leary, (before I even saw or touched it), but as soon as I took a good look at it — and touched it — Oh My Good­ness! This is one of the great­est yarns ever!

The skein is large enough to make 1 and a 1/2 of those tank tops!! I fin­ished the top, and I think I’ll make a match­ing hat/kerchief! How great is that?

Now, I’d love to find more col­ors! Dil­lu­sions of all the things I could make have taken over — which is a good thing for me, cuz it means I’m get­ting my “cro-jo” back! *snort*

I really hope to stay more reg­u­lar on post­ing here again! I miss my cro­chet buds!

Ha ha — and you know what else? I get to finally mark Kitchen Tow­els for the fridge off my to-do list!! That’s right — I’ve made 3 of them bad boys! I still have a few more to do, but hey — they’re com­ing off!

Right now, all I’m work­ing on is a large felted tote (orig­i­nal pat­tern) and I’m going to start the overnight bags for the girls (knit… I think)!  Just gotta find a pattern!
