is it concerning that, instead of going on, after two rows I rather search for tasks I usually loathe to do??  😹 

ok, let’s do some more Dark

—

edge is a little bit wriggly, so left long tails and worked some single crochets - barely noticeable, and once the edges get their finish, it will be hidden under the sewing sling stitches - pictures 1), 2)

Correct faults like this immediately, so in the next rows you can incorporate the repair-stitch

——

second front finished! Still don’t like to work this yarn, but must admit it gives a lovely spongy texture

-noticing once again how much of the cat’s hair (and mine, too) is woven into the fabric - very good method to top up the supply 👻

——

forgot that I was watering the plants - cat drinking the stream I created - fortunately didn’t use any pesticides so far this spring - pictures 3), 4)

——

now even done some rows of the back; there is an end in sight 😅

2 days passed and no progress, made decision not to work on it as long as the sun isn’t out (lazy me 😚) but it makes no sense to do one row and then discover that I’d made a mistake; and when working inside, my Mohair allergy comes knocking at the door swiftly. Or maybe it’s not the material, just that the mites prefer to live in more hairy wool ?

Do you experience something like that?

19/3/22

finally nice weather with decent sun so can crochet outside 👻

did some rows of the upper back - two more good days and it will be done!!

-anyway, belt definitively will be in 'normal' single crochet, can’t bother with the pattern much longer

20/3/22

some more rows, one good day and body should be finished definitively

-did a piece of the belt, incorporating the colour-swatch (all the others are not the right size so will be frogged) picture 5)

-much easier to do ‘normal’ single crochet in both of the top loops, but still having trouble with the edges where I can’t feel it and don’t see where I put the hook into - however, this can be levelled sewing it together, and after all it’s on the back side

-no need to weave in the tails, they will be inside and the edges sewn anyway

-passed twice with loose sewing sling stitches - taking care to take in edges only and not the fabric on the other side, as this would disturb the elasticity - picture 6)

-belt backside will be fixed lightly to front side, when it’s finished, every 15 or so cm, each with a separate piece of yarn, just to be sure that the back stays at the back

-like the bell bottom effect, caused by the thicker yellow Mohair - it mirrors the effect on the cardigan itself 👍🏽 picture 7)

-will do 100cm in dark approx., then use up colours left after making collar

——

-actually, single crochet goes pretty fast; reconsidering decision to use yarn only for knitting in future, as texture with crocheting is great and not too stretchy
