I know months ago, maybe even a couple years ago at this point, I had crocheted myself a cream cardigan. I like it. Kind of. It does not really fit correctly and I really need something less structured. And I truly wanted something more lacy. That is what I get for trying to reconstruct a thirty year old memory.
I had a couple skeins of that same yarn left, so I decided to start another cardigan in a different pattern. Pretty but based off a granny square. When I really wanted lacy. It was not holding my interest as I was making it. I think the directions were hard for me to get my head around, plus the granny square pattern. versus lace.
I pulled out that start. I still love the yarn but I really want lacy. Since I have been playing with motifs, I decided why not. The fabric of the motif is soft. It will be lacy. I can make the sweater more unstructured.
It also travels better with me in this shape. The boyos have plans for me which will require more portable projects. After I do all the carpentry they are plotting. The display room. The truck cabin for sharpening. Remodeling the kitchen. The dining room shelves. The..... I was purchased tools. The funny thing is a lot of times I do not have the physical strength in the upper body that they have but I get the projects done.
Saying that, I really need to finish my yarn box. Blue's cradle got in the way. Then Blue arrived. Building a sweater this way also gives me chance to have quiet. Meditate. Quiet is very hard to come by. Space is hard to come by.
Maybe I will have pictures of the finished yarn box soon as well as a sweater! I have a dress to lay out as well. Fabric on the way for fancy dress. Life is always busy.
