My youngest fell asleep for a nap during his rest time today so the house was extra quiet after lunch. I took the opportunity to search in my sewing closet for the largest crochet hook I have that I am using to make a chunky blanket. I partially finished the blanket a few months ago and haven’t touched it since.
The hook should be in a jar on the top of the shelves I have hanging on the wall in the closet, but it wasn’t there. Since it also wasn’t stuck in the partially finished blanket I suspected it was in a tote of miscellaneous items that has accumulated on the floor. I looked, and yes, there the crochet hook was!
I spent about 20 minutes reworking part of the blanket and crocheting a couple more rows. As I progress I will post some pictures of the project.
Another reason for finding the crochet hook today – besides making progress on the blanket project – is that my mom asked if she could borrow it for a couple of days. Since I would see her for Easter dinner today, I wanted to make my best effort to find it and get it to her. Mission successful!
I won’t have the crochet hook for a few days now so I need to work on a different project tomorrow. Two options come to mind based on what I saw in the first pile of items on the sewing table. There is a dress of my daughters with a rip that needs to be mended. Or I am making a jean skirt for my daughter with denim from a pair of jeans that doesn’t fit me anymore. I need to sew one more tier of fabric onto it, hem it, and make an elastic waistband.
I think I will mend the dress tomorrow as that should be about a 20 minute project that I will likely do by hand. I suspect the jean skirt will take 2 or 3 more sewing sessions to complete.
