I *needed* a big curtain to hang across this doorway in my apartment.
I *wanted* to use up as much of these blue scraps left over from #upcycling an old sheet & duvet cover.
I managed to use up almost all of both!
Sometimes things just work out perfectly like that. Well, I say perfectly -- one side has a folded hem & the others have straight grain binding -- but you barely notice. That's perfect enough!

Still working. Doing my last round of moss stitch on this one. Still have another strip that is only worked as far as the puff stitches. Then I need to join them, border it, and make tassels. Hopefully, it ends up as a decent sized wrap. #crochet #FreestyleCrochet #NoPattern

Still working on 1 of 2 strips. Have to pack up to move states this week to get ready for the Maryland Renaissance Festival so not getting as far as I'd like. Puff stitches irritate me, I don't know why I picked them. #crochet #NoPattern

Round 2 of this sleeveless nightdress- I've definitely found a "forever" pattern! Well, I say pattern- (https://youtu.be/nmRV_W3wzFs) shows how to make the nightdress using your own measurements right on the fabric, no paper pattern. Which is great, because I'm terrible at re-folding those things neatly!

I pretty much followed her instructions, only I pleated the hem instead of gathering it. #Fabric was an Ikea duvet cover, once upon a time.

Just using up scrap yarn. #crochet #NoPattern #FreestyleCrochet

Playing this morning. Got this far and my brain wants to do something else. We'll see how it turns out. #FreestyleCrochet #NoPattern #Crochet

Learned how to add a hood and started with the sleeves. Not sure if I want to do full sleeves or not yet.

This is still in the process of becoming that.

I've got one more outer round to do to introduce another new color so I *might* have enough yarn left to do a hood and/ or sleeves. I'll probably still need to buy another 500 yards of yarn to finish it how I want to. #crochet #FreestyleCrochet #NoPattern

Well.

I finished the right-hand wing. It was well-knitted and I didn't forget any decreases, etc., & it fit nicely over my shoulder, but...

I realized this morning the reason why I hadn't taken a photo or picked up stitches for the other wing was because I wasn't happy. So while having my coffee, I ripped the whole thing back to the pick-up row.

I'm going to reknit it and put decreases every 4 rows instead of every 2, to make it longer.
