April 18

I really enjoy the creative process, so I've had fun putting together this scarf this week.

I'm not using a pattern and it's done in something of a stitch sampler format, with blocks of various stitches separated by rows of double crochet. This evening during Brady's game, I even inadvertently came up with a stitch pattern to use as edging. 

It's satisfying to choose different stitches and it's relaxing to weave a hook through the yarn in the appropriate rhythmic fashion. 

Given that I've felt a bit stressed of late, I'm grateful to have a hobby that brings me a sense of well-being.
