Do you know how long in crochet terms it takes to get from Melbourne to the central coast of NSW?
No? Well, it takes about this long......
It was rather comforting to keep my hands busy on the long long trek home...the camera does not really capture the colour so well, but this is a green cotton that I picked up for 50c a ball. Very lovely to work with.......
We made a few stops along the way, of course but I managed to finish most all in one day! And its taken me another week to finally get around to sewing it together and putting on a BIG button, which disguises a plastic press stud.
This is the same pattern I used for the Sea Shell wandering vest but this time I used a 5mm hook and it came out bigger.
I have to say though, I am not to happy with how it made the arms wider! I tried sewing it together a little but did not like it, so undid it again..... token self portrait....my arms are far too short for these type of shots.....
As I am keeping this one for myself, I am not too worried about the arms and will just WEAR it! LOL
I have not had a lot of time for my crafting this week. Trying to get back into the swing of homeschooling routines and catching up on housework, shopping and gardening has been keeping me very busy. I did manage to also sew up the edges on Golden Dayz.....it still needs some cabling for the shoulders and the neck band and buttons. And no, I did not "block" it at all. I honestly have never tried that with anything. Maybe one day I will learn......
For now, have a wonderful week all.
Hugs and smoochies xoxox
I think it is beautiful!
