Yarn Along
~ Two of my favorite things are knitting and reading
and I love sharing my projects and current reads here.~
This is how Ginny begins her blog, Small Things,
on the First Wednesday of the month.
April was a productive month for me.
It seems I did nothing but sit and crochet.
I was happy.
Red and Grey Moods of Change, Frank O’Randell
is now finished, 4/15
It does not lay flat,
it kind of curls around my lap.
It is warmer that way.
I will make this pattern again
in a lighter weight yarn.

I played with the first few rounds of Mandela Madness
using dish cloth cotton,
Isn’t Madness pretty!
Someday I’d like to make some Madness.
I purchased some Caron Simply Soft in blue
and completed Moe of Change, Frank o’Randell
Started 4/16, finished 4/23/18.
What’s left of 4th skein.

4/23 I pulled Sophie’s Garden out of ‘time out’ in the stash shed
and determined I stopped at round 15.
I played with this one until 4/30 stopping on round 32.
I’m using stash lace weight yarn doubled and sock yarn single
comes out about same thickness.

Don’t tell Sophie, but she got set aside
because I couldn’t wait to see
what this yarn would look like in Tides of Change, Frank O’Randell.
I really like his patterns,
(as if you couldn’t tell)
they are challenging,
yet not overwhelming;
and they are so pretty when finished.
I’m on round 19,
I’m letting the yarn flow,
so center looks a little lopsided.

I have enjoyed my rounds in April, listening to many audio books.

Approximately 48 inches X 80 inches
What I found!
Crocheting is so much easy with a correct stitch count.
I have a helper.
