LOL!
I’m getting ready to move to AR and “moving” my yarn stash into plastic storage bins is bittersweet. I mean, I have to leave one open for my current projects, but when they’re done and the lids are on, I’ll need another one, as well as more yarn!! ;o])

My 2021 project was sprung on me when Mom came to TN to visit for Christmas. She brought a “friendship” quilt the church members had given to her and Dad when they retired from the ministry in 1991, each family having made a block with embroidery or applique.
It never was put together well, only “tied off”, and is coming apart. And, to Mom’s discredit, it wasn’t well cared for. I washed it (gently), and now am ripping seams so I can re-assemble, and quilt it. She’s 96, so I don’t know if she’ll ever see the finished product. My sister and brothers were young enough to have attended that church, so I believe one of them will appreciate having it.

I have been a crocheting fool for the last several weeks. I have made lace like bookmarks for the women in the family (and several friends), an alligator hat for my grandson and a constellation beanie for my grand daughter.... all for Christmas.
I have one more bookmark to make, and I believe I will make just an alligator for my friend who is a big “gators: fan. It sure would be helpful if I started more than 2 weeks before Christmas!

So ... the "hottest" thing these days seems to be 'pocket' shawls. In general, I'm not a fan, they just don't appeal to me. Then today, I saw this one posted - free pattern, too. It looks a bit challenging - I like the texture/stitch pattern & think it's rather attractive. The pattern calls for Materials: – 5 balls of Lionbrand Wool Ease (Weight 4/Medium, 197yds/3oz, 180m/85g). I have 6 skeins of Wool Ease (in the color 'Fisherman' which is a cream/off white) left over from an afghan I made a couple of years ago & I've been looking for a project for them - it appears I've found it!
