Fruits of my labor

Still waiting for Hubbo to return from a business trip, and thought I'd share what I've gotten done this week (actually the past 3 days, once I started feeling a bit better):





First, I actually crocheted something. Seriously, I haven't crocheted anything since Emma was crawling, I think! It's Chanson en Crochet from Wrap Style, done in SWTC Karaoke (4 balls Mermaid Mix). I got in the mood after I finished tech editing a crochet pattern for SWTC last week, and needed something to work on when I needed a break from the other big endeavor, a design for SWTC in their new Inspiration yarn (Soysilk/alpaca) that has a lot of ribbing. I'm nearly done with that one, hoping to finish by Sunday. I need to buy some buttons, one for this capelet and a few for the other sweater.



On top of that, I edited a few more patterns for SWTC, ran various errands, and went out to lunch with mom. Tomorrow I'm going to check out Heritage Spinning and Weaving, a store I haven't been to before. Hopefully I'll come back with the buttons.

The colors are beautiful! The subtle shift in colors balance the pattern well.

Have fun at H,S&W!! And thanks for the yarn. It is the most gorgeous shade of blue and soft too! The hard part is going to be deciding what to make with it.
