about 40% done.
This yarn is like sport weight (size 3) so I'm having to use a smaller hook. Any time I have to make one of those narrow bits, it tires my hands out.
 
Receiving blanket in "mini-v" stitch. About 10 rows in, I noticed I'd dropped a stitch about 5 rows back. I figured the baby won't notice and didn't want to frog it. But I started taking my own advice and use stitch markers at each end for the rest of the blanket.

I downloaded a pattern for crochet sushi. I didn't like the techniques or how they worked up. And i thought the shrimp looked pretty terrible. So, i said "Meh, I've been doing this like a year and a half. Surely I can design my own." Voila.

Onto the next project. Gotta make about 70 little skulls, turn them into granny squares, and then make something from those squares. It's actually going faster than I anticipated.

to follow up on the granny square skull thing I mentioned a few posts back: I decided to make pants, and found a model for those pants. So, now that I have measurements I can move forward with that project. Here's a bunch of granny square skulls laid out kind-of pants-like.
