Sam's friend, Eli, came to visit her during her tonsillectomy convalescence. He was fascinated with the hug mound of stuff I was photographing to put on Ravelry. I was trying to conquer the foundation single crochet for the Simplicity Top by Doris Chan. He asked me how he could make a scarf. I showed him one I made for my son that was a Harry Potter Gryffindor scarf. He wants to crochet one like it out of cotton. I loaned him a hook and he chained what he thought was appropriate and then could not proceed. I showed him 3 times and kept trying to crochet backwards. I had that ah-ha moment. "Are you left-handed?" He said yes. I remembered that Knitty had an article about knitting in the mirror if you are left-handed so I stood in front of the mirror and demonstrated. It worked he's able to work double crochet and turn his work.
Now back to Simplicity, I have the FSC down but 40 stitches does not look like it will even go over my head so I am going to move up to P. I've seen other peoples sweaters in this and they look great so I know I can do this. I love the Muench Free Spirit that is the contrast color.
Madden's DJ bag is going well I have 8 inches or 50% of the sides completed. The wool is giving me the itches so I need to change projects for a bit.
