I have started crocheting again. Baby layettes. I found a pattern I really enjoy stitching, and am looking forward to selling these.
It still gets complicated because of the heat down here making my hands sweat. The yarn sticks to my hands, and I can’t see selling something with my sweat all over it. The stickiness also makes maintaining tension difficult, my stitches are uneven and that makes the whole project look off. I’m working on ways to get around the heat.
I made this because one of my work neighbors was pregnant and I wanted to do something different for her. I already had an afghan made, so I just completed the set. I don’t seem to have a picture of the afghan.
I started the yellow, but it got too hot. I have been under the air conditioning vent while on my computer at work, so I brought it to work on here while I watch movies or whatever. Just not when I’m typing 🙂
I just found out that I have another friend expecting, and asked him what color 🙂 He said they weren’t going for the normal colors, so maybe baby blue! I told him that was an expected color for a baby boy. He did realize that…after he sent the text 🙂 I offered him the colors available, and am waiting for him to answer. In the meantime, one of the dogs that stops here with his mom came by while I was thinking about baby stuff. I remembered that she is pregnant, so I asked her colors. Blue, mostly water tones. I have now ordered more colors. Whatever I don’t give away, I will put on my table. Blue, green, yellow, white, pink and purple in pastels are now in (or on their way to) my home 🙂
