Handwork

Just back from our biennial trip to France--in case you were wondering why I've been so quiet the past few weeks.  I always have to take some kind of handwork to pass the time while away from my usual creative space.   This year, I was working on an infinity cowl.  So far, I've used 2 skeins of this "Scottish Heather" yarn that has little sequins incorporated into it.   I love a little bling!   It reminds me of sparkling fish scales.  1 more skein to go ...   If I had brought it along, this would be finished now.  I used up the yarn I brought in the first week of vacation.    You'll see it again when it's finished.  ;-)

If you like that lacy look, the pattern comes from here.  (Thanks, Alicia for sharing the pattern!)  Each row has been a nice meditation, and not at all difficult if you know how to single and double crochet.   I never did get the hang of knitting, but I've been crocheting since I was a kid.  Actually--the last crochet project I did was probably when I was 18 years old.
