I started a new project last night. No, it was not that elusive design that seems to be rattling around in the ole noggin. I did dream about it again last night and at one point woke up and said to my sleeping husband "ahhh that's how it works." He mumbled, adjusted his sleep apnea mask and rolled over. What help is he?? I could have told him the entire plan stitch by stitch and he would not remember it later. I seem to have digressed. I bought a pattern; crochet wrap vest. Yes that is really what they named it. I love the fact that I am not the only one who seems to really struggle with naming a pattern after I have designed it. Yes I guess it is a crochet wrap vest sort of thingy. It is a
Plymouth Yarn Design Studio pattern. We just got it in at Yarn Harbor and after about 30 minuets of wandering the store and pulling lots of yarn in different colorways out I actually decided to just get the pattern because I have yarn I bought last month that no longer wants to become the pattern I thought it did. I must say, Jean had quite a look of surprise on her face when I finally said, "I have yarn in my stash for this." Now, mind you she was not so surprised I had the yarn but that I was going to actually use it! I made good progress on it last night. Sometimes it is nice to just blindly follow a pattern and not be trying to figure out what has to come next. I also think, doing other patterns helps designers to learn new ways of constructing a piece. So for now, I will follow the instructions as written. To be quite honest, I can not promise the finished result will turnout exactly like the photo, but that is part of why we do what we do! So far, the first 30 rows are done. I am doing it in Queensland Rustic Tweed.
