Project in Progress – Burgundy and Gray Tote Bag
Here’s my crochet project in progress. It’s going to be a bit bigger than my other 2 totes. I’m using 2 strands of yarn. I got bored with the 2 strands of gray color yarn. I changed the second strand to burgundy instead of continue using the second strand of gray.
Not sure how it will look when it’s finished, but I’m liking the colors together. So, we shall see.
Wishing you all a terrific Thursday
and a great rest of the week.
WIP Wednesday – Crochet Cardigan
I’ve always wanted to try to make a simple crochet cardigan to wear around the house. Over the years I’ve looked at hundreds of patterns from fancy to odd, but none were as simple as I wanted.
I played with the idea of making one freehand just to see how it would turn out. I planned in my mind how I’d make it. I got the hook and yarn together and then I began.
I’ve made plenty of hats and scarves to wear, but this is the first crocheted garment that I’ve made for myself.
It’s coming along faster than I thought it would. I figure I’ll finish it over the next couple days. I hope it turns out okay. Wish me luck.
Wishing you all success on your works-in-progress.
Happy Wednesday!

It has the Shelibean nap-test approval.
I kept up with everything, so I have stats on it.

I’m surprised and happy that I have this blanket finished so soon.
I washed it in a normal wash cycle in a washing machine & dried it on Knits Low in the dryer.
It turned out beautifully and is soft and cuddly.

According to the calender, Spring’ll be here in a few weeks so warm weather can’t be too far off.
I hope you all are staying warm and safe during this rough winter weather.
