Perpetual Motion
When it gets cold out, I get the crochet hook cranking and I've finally settled on a stitch/sequence that I plan to see through to the end of this piece. I am fully fed up with making beanies, mittens and plain scarves.
This is a boa built from chained loops covered with single stitches and intertwined together like so many cotton worms..well, they look like worms to me and since I make it up as I go I guess I'm entitled to name it.
I'm also in the middle of constructing a garment from a pattern and things have changed quite a bit since my last garment making attempt back in 8th grade. The tissue is much finer and somehow, I managed to select a pattern that only has instructions in French.
I keep telling myself "This is NOT brain surgery".
Also - I'm still giggling over an ad I just read in the Jobs section of Atlanta's Craigslist.
6 On line Criminal Researchers needed ASAP (Duluth GA)!!
".....Knowledge/Skills: Bachelors degree or commiserate experience required...."
I think I may have found my true calling.

OOOO OOO OOOOO love this! I could do this with my richelieu stitch--OOOOOO
I love the worms! As for following patterns... never have liked doing other peeps stuff! Which is why I seldom sew clothing. 7th grade and 8th grade sewing classes ruined me for life!
Happy stitching!
Judy
thanks for the chuckle!
