Saturday afternoon, Satura Cakes, Ward Center. Browsing Ravelry, crocheting a neckwarmer, drinking an iced coffee (it looks a little odd b/c I put nonfat milk in it), and eating salted chocolate cookies.

My summer was extremely hectic, and things have begun to settle down (for now, at least). My pattern sales were way, way down this summer – it’s usually a slow period, but this year was really slow, despite this year having warm-weather appropriate patterns (the Star Jasmine headband and the Jules & Julia hat set). I do have some cold-weather appropriate patterns in the works but no clear timeline for when they will be done – I went back to one that’s been marinating for several months and *I* could not follow the instructions even though I wrote them and had crocheted a sample! Definitely time for a re-write, and the symbol diagrams need to be tweaked too.

Today I’m sewing up a curtain for my new place and getting started on another curtain – the results are either going to be delightfully tropical bohemian, or a hot mess of aloha print. I’ve been looking through my vintage crochet lace edging booklets, because patchwork aloha print might not be enough for me…this could get loud.
