In Which I Did A Lot Of Crochet!

No joke, I started working on today's blog notes at 9AM. It's been over 12 hours since then and I'm only just now getting the words into the blog itself lol!

It's been a gray and grotty day here - raining and in the low 50s - so I just sat upstairs, slowly expanding my projects!

First up we have the Mystery Project!

Behold, the mystery project in all its glory.

You'd literally never know I've done 11 rounds since last time...

R57-64: sc around (132sc)

I know it's hard to tell, even after 5 or 6 weeks of work, what this will be, but we're getting there, I promise!

Now onto the other project - my delightful Magnificent Marge Shawl:

They're not kidding about the magnificent part...

This bulky baby is now as long as a twin bed is wide! That's an iPad under the center, and yes, that's my knee and laptop as well...

Loooooook at it! It's huge! And textured!

Literally my only concerns right now are the weight (wool is heavy), the texture (wool is scratchy), and how much wool I have left (uh... not much). This sock wool is probably discontinued, if I could even find it to begin with. I'm pretty sure this is a Jawool brand? But I bought it back in like 2014 so who even knows any more, right?!

Anywho, this shawl could probably stop growing right now and still be a very functional shawl, but I want to see how far I can push it (because of course I do). If you have any idea what this yarn is, feel free to tell me in the comments!

I should be back on Thursday with 3/4 of my Big Big Art Project 2021, but we'll see :P

Go Enjoy Something!
