Surgery went well!

I don't know how long my hands will be down for.
I had my right hand done yesterday and my left will be done on March 17th. Hopefully, when I'm all healed up and recovered I'll have my hands back.
.
In the meanwhile - I do have pics of lots of things I haven't shared yet so you guys will still see yarn, glorious yarn.
.
btw - it's really hard to type left-handed.

a couple of My Serafina's

I can finally post some pics of swap projects now that my partners have received them.

I did both of these with 2 strands and an N hook to make them warm and cozy.

I do NOT like the TLC Essentials varigated yarn. It is limp and very hard to work with. It was a lot better using 2 strands but I won't be using it again.
Which is really surpising considering how much I really enjoyed working with the TLC Essentials in the solid color. It's a little thinner than Red Heart and thicker than Caron Simply Soft.


I didn't get pics of Ambi modeling before I sent these off. I hope the recipients enjoy them.

Crochet Cable Scarf

Crochet Cable Scarf
from Coats & Clark


Is really so much simpler than it looks. I made this one for my MIL. She prefers shorter scarves that she can tuck into her coat. One well placed button and a few chains added to a sc border and WALLA!


This is my very first cable project and they are so much simpler than I ever could have believed! The best part about this pattern is that it's made with hdc's so it was lots easier on my hands than a sc pattern would've been.

If you can front post you can do cables!

Argyle Scarf

Many thanx to mama24boyz for coming up with such a sensational idea.

It never ceases to amaze me how simple a stunning pattern can be! The hardest part is thinking of it in the first place. Even the figuring it out is easier than thinking of it.

I do have to admit:
That I didn't actually buy the pattern
(and I already spoke with her about it) -
so mine is not exactly like mama24boyz's.


I did do a couple of things differently:

- I did every row on the right side
- I knotted my pink at each crossing
- my edging is my own
- I added fringe

You really just cannot improve on
an awesome pattern!
