Catching up!

I’m finally catching up on crochet orders! I took Christmas off with the exception of a hat made for one of my sisters while she was over. But no orders. Now, I’m back. So for those who asked and haven’t received, consider your stuff officially being worked on! I have finished products for Karla, Hailey, and Amber. The rest of you, I’m getting there!

I’m on a huge kick right now. I’ve started getting headaches, so I invested (about $15) in a pair of low prescription glasses. I have had a prescription since I was 1.5 years old, but quit wearing glasses altogether about 5 years ago and haven’t looked back. Vision was never my problem, but that is another looooong story. So anyway, just for the people out there who think I’m not sure what I’m doing buying glasses, I do. Anyway, I have my new glasses, and new hooks I got for Christmas! They’re metal, but they are all lightly tinted to be a pretty color. They come in this adorable pink leathery case. I have added small scissors, yarn needles, my loom knitting hook, and a tape measure to the mix as well. It is the perfect set up for me! I know, its silly for something like hooks to get me so excited, but my husband gets excited when he gets new tools, and I’m sure he’s not the only one! My version is just slightly more feminine.

To finish the story, I’ll tell you guys I made two cowls today! I have an order for one and I have never actually made one! So I tried our two different ways and I’ll let her pick her favorite 🙂 Any opinions on cowls out there? One of these has more texture, but one has more structure. What do we like?

Which is your favorite?
