(when there was only Chick and Panda)

G: How many of these are you going to make?
me: I dunno.
[pause, G looking at the window]
G: You will need 33 to [fill up the window].

So G picked the next one, the Penguin ... and immediately picked another one (without me asking!) alligator.

I did finish the sweater Dad ordered :)... mmm. a lot of stst. (ravelry link)

Ravelry link This was fun in a I-just-made-a-giant-doily sort of way. The instruction was a bit cryptic. I am still learning the crochet-way of patterns.

After this bit of success with crochet. I went head first into tawashi-land with J ... The fun yarn is an anti-bacterial bulky acrylic Japanese yarn, mmm acrylic. Ravelry link

The crafty hobby has been good to me. It is keeping me focused, along with catch-up on yardwork/garden ... in between the insanity of unemployment / looking for work. Feeling thankful today :)
