a tired brain, some bangles, and a bead crochet snake
Each Wednesday, I take stock of the projects I’m working on.
And the trend of stealing moments for crafting continues. Le sigh.
This month feels like it’s been straight up insanity – mostly due to work things – so my crafting time has been truncated, and any sort of brainpower for writing has been basically non-existent. Which is making me super sad, because I really miss writing here, and thinking out loud about craft, and sharing the details of what I’m making.
I did realize recently that I’ve never written about the first couple set of bead crochet bangles I made – the ones I’ve worn almost constantly since I finished them. So maybe I’ll use that project to get back into the swing of blog post writing.
putting my cardigan aside for a week, so it’s all about the bead crochet
Each Wednesday, I take stock of the projects I’m working on.
I took a break from my mammoth of a granny square cardigan, and started working on a couple bead crochet pieces. With only a handful of minutes here and there for crafting (or blog post writing), it’s hugely motivating to be working on a project that shows significant progress after 15 minutes.
Here’s to more time for crafting next week.
I think my sweater is starting to feel a little neglected.
Each Wednesday, I take stock of the projects I’m working on.
My giant granny square is growing – ever so slowly – but still growing. Row by ever longer row. I might have said this before, but I’m at the point where every single round seems never ending.
That feeling of never ending rows, combined with very limited crafting time this week, means I managed to crochet 1.5 rounds…
This project mostly lives at my desk, and I’ve been squeezing in a few stitches here and there throughout the week. Up until this point, that method has made for slow, consistent, and visible progress.
But I think that this shawl/sweater has officially reached the point of needing focused attention, to really grow. Otherwise, I really will be working on this project forever.
Anyway! There’s always this coming week, and cooler weather on the horizon (fingers crossed).
And one more thing!
Penny over at Little Acorn Creations interviewed me about the self-made wardrobe project, my shawl geometry series, and generally creativity & craft. You can read the interview here – it was an absolute delight answering Penny’s questions.
