In Which Sweet Caroline Do My Knuckles Ache

I love working on multiple projects at once. Not only do I get to stretch my focus by working from two different patterns, but I also get to relax my knuckles by working two completely different gauges of both yarn and hook! Just as with yesterday, I'm working on two separate projects - the Magnificent Marge Shawl and my Secret Crochet-Along project :)

First up: The Secret Project!

I'm going to say right now, this is... lumpier than I though, but not as bad as I'd feared. It's also very roomy. Just as last week, I'm going to include the whole pattern (in case someone hasn't seen everything leading up to now) and I'm also going to add in what I have finished!

Round 1: sc 6 into magic ring (6 sc)

R2: 2sc around (12 sc)

R3: [2sc, sc] around (18 sc)

R4: [sc, 2sc, sc] around (24 sc)

R5: [2sc, sc in next 3 sts] (30 sc)

R6: sc around (30 sc)

R7: [sc in next 2 sts, 2sc, sc in next 2 sts] around (36 sc)

R8: [2sc, sc in next 5 sts] around (42 sc)

R9: [sc in next 3 sts, 2sc, sc in next 3 sts] around (48 sc)

R10: [2sc, sc in next 7 sts] around (54 sts)

R11: [sc in next 4 sts, 2sc, sc in next 4 sts] around (60 sc)

R12-13: sc around (60 sc)

R14: [2sc, sc in next 9 sts] around (66 sc)

R15: [sc in next 5 sts, 2sc, sc in next 5 sts] around (72 sc)

R16: [2sc, sc in next 11 sts] around (78 sc)

R17: [sc in next 6 sts, 2sc, sc in next 6 sts] around (84 sc)

R18: [2sc, sc in next 13 sts] around (90 sc)

R19-21: sc around (90 sc)

R22: [sc in next 7 sts, 2sc, sc in next 7 sts] around (96 sc)

R23: [2sc, sc in next 15 sts] around (102 sc)

R24: [sc in next 8 sts, 2sc, sc in next 8 sts] around (108 sc)

R25: [2sc, sc in next 17 sts] around (114 sc)

R26: [sc in next 9 sts, 2sc, sc in next 9 sts] around (120 sc)

R27-30: sc around (120 sc)

R31: [2sc, sc in next 19 sts] around (126 sc)

R32: [sc in next 10 sts, 2sc, sc in next 10 sts] around (132 sc)

R33: [2sc, sc in next 21 sts] around (138 sc)

R34: [sc in next 11 sts, 2sc, sc in next 11 sts] around (144 sc)

R35: [2sc, sc in next 23 sts] around (150 sc)

R36-40: sc around (150 sc)

today we start at Round 41

R41: [sc 2 together, sc 23] around (144 sc)

R42-47: sc around (144 sc)

R48: [sc 11, sc 2 together, sc 11] around (138 sc)

R49-55: sc around (138 sc)

The eagle-eyed amongst you may realize I've not yet reached round 55... that's because after a while of working with such fine thread and a 1.9mm hook, my fingers ache. So I switched over to Marge!

She's so pretty! And even prettier in person!!!

Using this ages-old sock wool for this pattern was a great idea. I may be 2/3 done with this ball already, but I have another ball on standby, so I should be fine. If not, well... Frog and Restart a new project.

But yeah, this is going really well. Yeah, I've got an error or two, but from here, you can't really see them, so I consider it a win!

I can't wait to get more done on both these projects, but since the cat is on antibiotics and pilling her is definitely a two-person job, I will be up early and abed late this week, so I may be a bit slow on the round-completion. It's still gonna get done though lol!

Alright, I am le pooped (and also distracted by fun videos with mi amor, so that's all from me!

Go Enjoy Something!
