January Crochet Project

Image
It's getting colder and I decided it was time to try and crochet a piece of clothing. I usually stick to things that can be done quickly (like hats or fingerless gloves) and blankets. However, I was feeling adventurous. After searching Pinterest for some good ideas, I came across a pattern by Lilla Björn. This Whirl Mandala Cardigan looked warm and snugly! You can find it here . I've used the materials that I had available, but see that changing the type and weight of yarn would be beneficial. Starting small at lunch while at work - Still working on it! Added blue as a continuation when I ran out of the other yarn. A size D hook can be such a pain to work with. Small hooks just aren't my thing!  I'm still not finished and don't know if I ever will be! Here's hoping to finish it soon! 

Crafting in the Cold

 With the temperatures dropping and the weekend having highs of 0 degrees - the windchill is just too much! Saturday looks like it will be spent curled up on the couch with some new patterns to try out! My last batch of projects included fingerless gloves. Easy to whip up and super popular with my teacher friends (our school can get a little chilly in the winter). Here's hoping to find a pattern that'll work well with some the yarn in my stash!
