And just like that, since our WIP post I've got about double the projects going on! Just the nature of the hobby :D The weather here has been glorious as well; perfect to sit outside all weekend and put in a lot of good work!
I finally got a chance to try out one of my handmade crochet hooks and it works like a dream! I always forget how quickly crochet works up (when you have an entire afternoon everything moves quickly, haha) and I've almost burned through my first 50g ball of yarn doing a self-designed shawl pattern. I've decided to "make up" the other half of it with different yarn anyway, so it'll be just fine. It's nice to test out this pattern anyway - I wanted to design something that you could either knit OR crochet and get a similar effect, so here's hoping I've got it to where I want it.
Anyway, my question today is: what do you do whilst you knit/crochet? I find myself just enjoying the weather outside and usually sitting in (relative) silence when I can get it, but when I'm inside, I usually feel I have to have something on TV - our TV kind of takes up the entire wall of our tiny living room, so it's just there LOOMING over me otherwise. But on the bus, it's all about music, and I've been enjoying a bit of a "memory lane" playback lately (especially at work): Lifehouse, Silverchair, Big Wreck, and magically, there are a few Big Shiny Tunes playlists on Spotify!
Not that I'm on the bus too often lately; with the weather so warm and pleasant, I cycle to work when I can. It's way faster and it allows me to get in way more cake ;)
AND now I see one of my favourite shows to stitch to, Stranger Things, has a release date for Season 2! Happy Hallowe'en!!
