WIP: Bolero Edition
Unlike many of my previous Wednesdays I only have one project to show because in an effort to simplify my crafting space and life, I am working on one project at a time.
The pattern has proved to be a challenge for my newly acquired crochet skills without stretching them over much, however understanding the pattern on the DROPs site and visualizing what I am doing is entirely another matter.

Great minds think alike lol! I have just made the same vow - one project at a time (for personal knitting - I always have something on the needles for my part-time designing job). I want to also work through my stash yarn, if I can.
ReplyDeleteThat is looking great :-) I admire your self-discipline in restricting yourself to 1 WIP too :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes it is impossible to see the bigger picture! Especially if something is knit in pieces ... baffling! I'm glad you're persevering, learning new stitches and techniques is SO worth it!
