"Feeling Crafty"

[wayfaringwordhack]

That is one of my tags here on my blog, and I really like looking back on the projects I have completed and thus tagged.  Today I browsed through them looking for a photo of the hooded jacket I made for Farmer Boy when he was a wee lad (I had forgotten what an absolute pain that was to make. I complained copiously about the hard-to-follow pattern and see my links to it no longer go to the right page; I was not the only one to remark on its lack of clarity).

Anyhow, I went looking for that project to show a friend a picture of the only garment I have ever crocheted because I am getting ready to make a cardigan for myself, and from the way I was talking it about it, she thought I was an experienced garment maker.  Sadly, not so.

The one I am going to attempt for myself is this one.  I hope it is as easy as the designer says it is.  I really like the colorway that the model is wearing, but unfortunately it was sold out.  I picked "chai latte" instead, and I hope it isn't too pale.

I shall commence soon for the weather, she is a-changing.

The ninja girl took up crochet to make little tiny key chain critters, and she's gotten good at it! The only big thing she's tried is a hat, which was only a moderate success--but I'm sending her the link to the pattern anyway. Maybe one day she'll feel adventuresome ^_^

I think it is a fun and rewarding hobby, and it has the added benefits of being "non-messy" and easily portable. :D

I really hope the pattern is not hiding any bad surprises, but it seems that the one thing that has caused people problems (where to place the stitch markers) has been answered in the comments. :P

I will keep you (and therefore Ninja Girl) aprised of my success or lack thereof. :D
