Second square on the hook!

The purple yarn I was missing arrived from Spain today, and I am off to the races… sort of. Baby Hennes is living his best 4-month-sleep- regression-life and is only snoozing in irregular spurts and mostly only when attached directly to my body. Not a great setup for crocheting. I also had my post baby exercise class (Rückbildungsgymnastik) this evening, which takes up a good chunk of time. Simone had her first birthday party for her friend Carlotta today, so it’s been exciting all around. I’ve started, and I think, mostly decoded the pattern for the next square. Popcorn stitch is fun! Stay tuned for progress! Love and stitches, J.

Okay. Admittedly, I’m distracted. I decided to pick up a super cute shorts pattern while waiting for the purple skein of yarn to arrive from España. And also work on a couple of secret projects that I can’t talk about yet because they are surprise gifts. BUT. This popcorn-stitching-7-color madness is out of control. Will frog it and start over tomorrow. Sometimes, stepping away is the lesson crochet is teaching me.
