So instead of taking the current big project on the road trip, I am opting for smaller cross stitch pieces and then crocheting.

In part because when calochortus and I went to the yarn store, I fell in love with this amazing yarn. And then needed an excuse to buy it. And can’t knit very well.

The plan is now to make 6 scarves by Christmas. They had the most amazing scarf pattern and in between working on stuff for the road trip (the car! it is clean! and partially packed!) I stopped by and begged someone to teach me how to read crochet patterns. Because seriously, that shit is in a different language.

I have ~5” done so far of the one for me (which is the first one because I am figuring this out) and the color is AMAZING. I would love to wear clothes made of this yarn. Except they would cost an arm and 5 legs.
