They were *so* much easier that I'm currently trialling the plastic circulars on a straight row scarf project. So far, so good. :-)Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703986833050265474.post-61773320569095118982017-07-28T12:35:14.256+09:302017-07-28T12:35:14.256+09:30Well that is a new one on me.

The last time I was anywhere near the middle east, it was in Dubai many many years ago, before all of the huge development that it is famous for now.<br /><br />Regarding crochet, it is always fun to experiment with new techniques and create new designs. I find the documentation time consuming but necessary and I hope to share my patterns one of these days (this year with luck!).<br /><br />My health has been up and down on a daily basis - busy, productive days alternating with foggy days or days lost to sleep. At least crochet is something that is possible to do without taxing the body too much. It keeps me sane. <br /><br />The friends and connections made through the blogosphere have been a great help to my morale as well so I thank you and all my blog friends for the continued support. It makes a difference.<br /><br />Wishing you a good week, Tammy xxJodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703986833050265474.post-19356599425675570362017-07-03T15:13:15.323+09:302017-07-03T15:13:15.323+09:30Sorry to hear about the flare-up.

That takes more patience than I think I have. :) Thanks for stopping by my blog.

I get the feeling it wants to be a beret or tam or maybe a slouch hat. The drape of the broomstick lace in the round is not as structured as flat in a scarf, strangely enough.<br /> <br />I'm ok - just the usual winter aches and pains. I hope you are enjoying a good summer and that the heat and humidity are not too oppressive. <br />Enjoy your weekend. :-)Jodiebodiehttp://lupeyloops.blogspot.com.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703986833050265474.post-1827852989852851052017-07-02T08:50:03.010+09:302017-07-02T08:50:03.010+09:30Well I certainly did not guess a beanie, good for ...Well I certainly did not guess a beanie, good for you!

I have seen a few broomstick lace tops around. <br />I'm also a fan of Kristin Omdahl's work. What other designs of hers do you especially like? <br />It's now the day after and I am groggy but not in so much pain and the sun is shining. Thanks for your good wishes.

Kristen Omdahl is a super designer and I'm going to have to favorite that design for when I go somewhere cold!! It looks wonderfully challenging and like you I do relish a challenge. I love that your beautiful products are selling so well. Great news! Hope you beat the pain tomorrow!Tamarahttp://www.craftyescapism.comnoreply@blogger.com
