I’m going to have to try this, I never thought to add ruffles for dusting…

How to Make a Reversible Swiffer Sock - CraftStylish

Not appealing to me (I’m still getting used to the regular granny stitch), but I know you like knew stitches to play with, T. :)

One way to cut and crochet.

The pattern I used for this scarf was from Raverly.  It looks complicated, but it works up very nicely until you take a wrong turn.  If one should take a wrong turn, you end up with a right angle instead of a straight line.  I have been using very fibrous yarn and have had to cut off my right turns and begin again.  I will post a pic when I finish.

Jojoland Cashmere Scarf Crochet Pattern 2-102-1

Woo! It rocks to be me at the moment. I’ve got several more scarves to photograph, but probably won’t feel up to it for several more days (aka when the antibiotics kick in). Currently occupying myself with a squishy Malabrigo single crochet scarf, though. I love that yarn, and I think its nature (single ply) applies itself well to crochet.

If it ever comes to the point where I’m only able to do a couple of knitting/crochet projects a year, I’d do them in this yarn! Definitely top of my list for refilling my stash once I burn through its current contents. Unless I learn to spin, which is a whole ‘nother pony. >.>;

I haven’t posted here for awhile mostly because I was too busy crocheting and knitting!

Lasted about 2 weeks before the pain hit full force and I had to stop. :(

I’ll try and get the scarves blocked and photographed this week. In the meantime, it’s back to alternative entertainments (aka sewing, cross stitch, weaving, and reading).

Grr, I wish they’d figure out what was wrong with me and why a hiatus of 6 months (!) without crocheting or knitting didn’t fix it.
