The prayer shawl is finally finished :)
And that hook is "Retired " ~ yay!!!!
So made a few more infant hats for the charity outreach. And now I'm working on a design idea ~ not sure it will work but at least I'm trying an Idea out :)
Hope you all are making progress on your projects & I hope they will all be "Frog free"!!

Slow progress ~ but with good reason :)
The slow progress my title refers to is the prayer shawl still on my hook! Yes I know it has been way too long to still not have finished with it by now but ... well once I do finish it I have a size "N" hook up for grabs ... seriously the hook has been the cause of my extremely slow progress!!! It tires my hand out something awful!!! Other than that it's a perfectly fine hook :(
So the shawl is still a work in progress (WIP to anyone not in the 'know') and then I attended the NY Women of Purpose Conference last weekend (Nov 1~3) where Themla Wells shared with us on living Victoriously ... it was Awesome!!! And I sat there and crocheted two and a half hats! The first two completed hats were turned over to a missionary before the conference was concluded. The third was completed when I returned home and will sit until I can send many more with it to that same missionary. She had shared that some times the temperatures can be between 20 to 40 degrees below zero!!! And when I asked if that was the usual temperatures for that area she said it is cold most of the year, not necessarily that cold but yes it was a cold region, and many children & adults are in need of warm hats, scarves, socks, etc.
Then there is the ever pressing hats / sweaters/ blankets/ booties etc for the community outreach my library is having & I would like to make several more items for that event. And then there is the "for me" project that hasn't quite gotten any attention so far ~ but life is still good. Eventually I will get around to making the shrug and the sweater and the top I want to make for myself ... I've only been saying this for several years now what's a little longer ??
Wishing you all "frog free projects" and swift progress on your WIPS !!!!
