Pure nervous energy started this little project. I was at an impasse. I had finished the Laura's Wrap and not certain on what to start yet. So I picked up my circular needles and variegated yarn, next thing you know this is the result.
I added a granny edging in teal blue. I didn't want anything fancy-shmancey, just something clean and simple. I think the variegated insanity framed by the calm blue is perfect. It rather reminds me of myself these days! LOL!!!
It is fascinating how variegated yarn works up. How can anyone not like the color. I want to dive right into it and get lost!!!
I have been looking at shawl patterns on ravelry. I have so much yarn that needs to be worked up, and I am in a crochet mood.
These days Goodwill has been a fun break for me. I am always looking for that treasure. This long green sweater is my latest score for $3.75. It looked in need of love hanging there on the rack. it was dirty, out of shape, and had some pilling on it. I gave it a good cleaning and hit it with the steamer. Ran it over with the little sweater shaver and a lint roller, and ta-da! It is my favorite. And I love it with denim. Olive green and blue is so pretty together. Oh...the belt, a total score too!
For those that don't know me, I love Goodwill. Like my mom says, "It makes her happy" LOL! It really does. Plus finding a treasure for under 5 bucks is so freaking fun, I can't explain it! I must say, this is the grooviest sweater I have ever had!!!
I love this peaceful Sunday evening. Hubs is gone to bed, Girlie is laying here next to me in peaceful slumber and I am enjoying the quiet. I have a new little crochet project going, and a rather large order to get started on. The beginning drowsy feeling is kicking in...it can't get much better. You see, anxiety has been high these days. I can't pin down one particular reason, maybe it is several things causing it, but it has crept in and really done a number with me. So these moments where I feel calm and content are the best!!! I think part of it is the fact that 51 years have hit and certain chemical changes are effecting my temperance, leaving me in an agitated state everywhere I go. LOL!!
About the new crochet project, it is something kind of new to me. I won't share a lot until next week when I can share some pictures, but I can say learning the technique has started the creative wheels in my head and I already have ideas on where to take it. That's all I will say for the moment!
I hope everyone has a great week. And may it include some yarn, too!!!

Whispers Shawl is finished! I must say this has been one of my favorite crochet projects. I credit it to the yarn and the simple pattern. The pattern is a $4.50 download on Ravelry. Quite the bargain if you ask me!
