Current WIP


So I am currently, very slowly working on a Lacy Wrap it will be slow going with both my shoulders acting up.  I am using the light up hook my MIL got me for christmas and the Chroma Lace weight 'Groovy' yarn.

The pattern is one of Marly Birds, I am fallowing the 'free' version (she has a pdf with chart version with out ad's as well), there are some questionable areas where things should be explained better, or whats said is not what is shown. So far I am getting a big of bunching up/rippling which I think comes from the straight edge start before going into the ripple work.  I am hoping when its blocked that will go away.  Also she uses a linked HDC but the description for working it does not match the video she tells you to watch to learn how to do it, basically fallow the video but work into the middle loop instead of the one shown in the video and you get close to what she wrote -- but in the end I just wound up working HDC as doing the linked HDC did not really show much of a difference in look or structure.  

All in all, the pattern looks super cute, and I am hoping it will be a good distraction for a while.

If you dont hear from me for a while its due to health, and grieving the loss of my baby girl Chloe.
She started having seizures right before Christmas, and after new years we found out it was cancer and the seizures started coming to often and none of the medications we tried helped and we had to let her go.   She was our best girl, the sweetest dog, and gave us so much love.
