Eeek! I just ordered this cotton zippered bag with my logo to put all the yarn that I buy at the Chain Link Conference next month in! It was only like $13! (There’s a bucket bag on Cafe Press that I want with my logo on it too, but that monster is like $70!)

Surface crocheting the plum silk had commenced! However, I’m not liking how these stitches look, so I might pull them out and redo with a smaller hook. This is going pretty fast though.

This is what 50 grams of 100% Mulberry Silk looks like!
We were without power for most of the day today, and the bodice is still blocking/drying. So I went ahead and wound a few hanks into balls. I’m not sure if I’ll have time, but I’d like to make one more top to wear for the Conference next month.

I made it around! the seam is connected in the back and I need to weave in some ends. Tomorrow I need to block it so those edges stop curling so much. Then I need to make a decision the straps. I think I’m going to do the original straps, however I’m going to do more rows, but attached at the same amount of space (three rows I think) so it has a gathered look where it attaches but is a fairly wide strap over the shoulder.

ALMOST all the way around! I’ve got the decreases on the front right side done now. I am hoping that I can finish the back tomorrow night. Up next will be blocking before I start surface crocheting the plum silk.
I’m trying to decide if I should do plain straps like I did originally, or use a set of elastic, pearl, pre-made clear straps over the shoulders and do an off the shoulder strap on the sides. Stay tuned!

I ran out of thread last night, so tonight my daughter and I ran up to Michael’s. I also got the yarn that I med to do the homework for theatre Aran crochet class I’m taking at the conference next month.
We also had some fun and walked around the store together with our clown noses on.

I am so excited right now! I have my registration complete and my flight booked to go to the Crochet Guild of America’s Chain Link Conference next month!
I’ll be taking an all day professional development class, an Aran crochet class, and shopping for yarn and other crochet goodies!
Five days of Crochet awesomeness, and with my Best Friend too! I can’t wait!

I’m still trucking along. Still having to do quite a bit of frogging and reworking to get it how I really want it. I’m hoping that once I get all the way around with the cotton, the silk should go much faster..

Not surprisingly, I did have to frog and rework again today. I believe I’ve got it all counted up right now and the rest should hopefully work up pretty fast. I hope. The rest should just be across and then decreases.
