I made some crochet fingerless mittens last night after doing nothing but knitted ones for a month & a half. Someone in the family asked for a knitted hat to wear hunting - I had leftover yarn after the hat so I knitted him matching mittens; however his crocheted “lucky mitts” (first thing he packs when off on a trip) were made in 2013, so I made another pair in a camo yarn that goes with the hat.
It was nice to crochet - doesn’t bother my hand(s). The knitting is getting better/more comfortable, but crochet is still #1, IMO.
Got a pic of my relative’s baby on the blanket I sent her last week (the antique white that looks light yellow one). I love getting pics of babies with the blankets I’ve made for them - it’s a great reward!
BTW, I made a gorgeous scarf with “Scarfie” in royal blue & black ... the colors in Scarfie are really “rich”. Your project should be gorgeous.
'Ruana' 4 balls of 'Scarfie.' I'm going to look for either a medium green or another 'fall' color. I look best in those shades. I'll wear it with jeans and a simple, solid tunic-type top.

Currently working on a hat/mitten set in 100% Alpaca yarn. It's really soft & very warm.
