Dear users, dear authors,
how’s the weather and how’s work / running errands, etc.?
Do you have enough time for crafts?
If so, go ahead and start counting your stitches—or the steps in your craft project, the paper cuts when cutting out shapes, or the seams when sewing.
Everyone is welcome to join in.
It’s a summery 28 degrees in the shade here. But rain and thunderstorms are forecast for tomorrow. So I took the opportunity to let the laundry dry outside while I still could.
I’ve picked up the first supplies for my two students, and now I’m waiting at the school to pick up my student who’s currently on crutches.
Still, I’ve managed 450 single crochet stitches so far, and I’d like to add at least 800 more today—preferably 1,600.
I hope you all have a beautiful, sunny day like the one I’m having right now. And for those who don’t need a parasol today, I hope you at least have sunshine in your heart and are surrounded by people with sunny dispositions.
It’s raining here right now. If it were up to the number of stitches I’d planned, I’d finish my blanket today :)
But since there’s only a limited amount of “crafting time” in a day, I’ll be lucky if I get 1,000–1,500 stitches done.
Hmm… reading this, I’m already a little jealous…
it’s almost autumn temperatures here already, with rain every now and then :-(
But on the bright side, I crocheted about 500 meters today—no idea how many stitches that is—and I’m definitely not going to count them now… lol
The nice thing about autumn and winter is that they’re boom times for handicrafts… otherwise, I don’t like these seasons at all. I’m a summer person… I only really feel good when it’s 30 °C.
Since I finally had to tackle the weeds today—I pulled a whole basketful from two garden beds!!!—I didn’t get much time for crafts. In the evening, while watching TV, I did manage to crochet a little guardian angel (still without hair); that was a little over 600 single crochet stitches.
Dear haekeltrulla, that scene sounds very familiar to me—except that my husband always looks either horrified or just completely baffled! Good luck on your second try!
