Hacky sack crochet
Spring has sprung in Bath, and things are going well. After getting over [more] colds, I am enjoying the flowers, freaking out over the size of bumblebees, and crocheting hacky sacks.
Actually, that’s a gross simplification of what I have been up to. But while I settle in and my artistic joie de vivre again, I have been keeping my hands busy and keeping up appearances, at least where making things are concerned.
In sewing news;
I bought way too much leopard print faux fur fabric, so I am sure it will show up in more and more in the modded-out things I like to wear.
In Pin-teresting news;
I rearranged my wool stash into the house booze cabinet;
Crocheting news;
I have been screwing around, making some (sort of) functional things. I think something about the relatively nice weather Bath has been having of late has influenced my crocheting choices. So hacky sacks and poi all round!
The poi are a work in progress – I have been using nylon stockings, rice and wool but I have also been thinking hard about the logistics of poi in motion. How much will the wool twist when I use the poi? Will they still look good? What sort of stitches should I use? A loose chain that I can unwind, but might look terrible from the start, or tight single stitch that will look great at first, but may warp and look terrible after a very short time?
I am sure there will be answers for these questions in time.
In other news;
I bought a(nother) ukulele! I thought it would be a good idea to continue to do something new and keep reshaping my gently ageing brain. And I’ve read an article that supports my fiscal irresponsibility too, so I feel justified in my purchase.
Lastly, I wandered into the field and saw some rocks or something;
