Scarf #2

Here is scarf #2. This one was completed in roughly two weeks. From a pattern, it starts with a 21 stitch chain. Then you alternate single and double crochet making sure the last stitch before turning is a double crochet. It has a cool effect due to the little holes (seen in lamp picture). The color is #200 Gray Mist by "I Love This Yarn" from Hobby Lobby.

Adventures in Crocheting



Wow, it's been forever since I've posted anything. I'm doing good. The medicine is doing the trick and the counselor agrees I should keep on 10mg since I seem to be having such a good response to it. Friends and co-workers have seen a real improvement. I haven't had an emotional break down since September. I can still be a crier but it takes a lot to tip me off now. Work is going well. I can't imagine what I would have been like at work if I had not finally tried medication.

Not running as much still. I run 2-3 two-three milers a week. But I have gotten back on to doing my leg exercises. I do those three times a week along with crunches. Determined to get some kick butt abs going.

I've started learning how to crochet with some fellow running girls. I'm excited. Here's my first finished project. I made the scarf way too wide, so the girl teaching us suggested that I stitch it together to make a cowl neck scarf.
