Fresh On The Hook!

 So, I finished up the Dew Drop shawl (pictures soon) two days ago, and started a brand new project! Like I need another project, right?  But this one has been on my "I wanna make that!" list forever!!! The Hexie Cardi!!!! I was watching TikTok lives the other day and there's a creator on there making them, and I was just doing the last row of shells on the shawl, and I look over at my yarn stash and I have two skeins of Caron Jumbo Ombre in there in the color Sepia. I figure two should more than cover it, so I pull them out and look up a Youtube tutorial until I find one I like... here! And I am hooked!!! I love this thing so much! I am even taking a new project bag around with me, because there's no room in my regular project bag for a whole Jumbo skein of yarn. Here's the progress so far... 









Today is the third day, and I am almost finished the first half!!! 

In other crochet news... my local stores are no longer handing out plastic bags. They call them one use, but 99.5% of the time I get two, if not three uses out of them. We very rarely throw away plastic shopping bags straight from the store! So anyway, no more bags. So I have this very full tub of granny squares, and I could get maybe three twin size afghans out of them... oooooorrrr, around 12 shopping bags!!! So I'm thinking I'm going to be putting together a bunch of shopping bags in the next couple of weeks using this method!!! Lots of items coming up shortly.

This week my daughter also challenged me to make a tiktok 😱 so, today I watched some Youtubes on how to post a TikTok. I followed a step by step guide, and posted my first ever crochet slideshow pictures over there! Yaayyy! I guess todays theme should be... youtube is great for everything you need to know. lol

Making Cording

Since my fall I haven't been able to do too much of any crafting, because of the aches and pains and bruising. Truly, I've just been...
