Doing great! And you are right about chenille...I would have suggested just some plain knitting worsted. Easier to handle.

I like the chenille for crocheting. I use a size N needle and 6 skeins for a sort of "half" throw. It's the right size to give hospital or wheel chair patients to use as a shawl or lap blanket.

But, the chenille does shed. I made myself a red shawl, wore it once with a black outfit.Then I couldn't take it off because of all the little red threads all over my turtleneck.
