Last night I finished crocheting the mesh for the replacement Nova Scotia Tartan that my daughter has in her home now. I also have a lot of the cording crocheted to put through and hope to start putting them in today.
A word to the wise, lesson learned. I have been purchasing yarn only as needed and decided to buy the extra I would need to do one more tartan, in other words two different shades of green. In a slight of a moment I reached for the wrong skein and some 100 grams later of crocheting I have to remove this from the Newfoundland mesh as it is far to dark.
From now on I will take a piece of labelling and write the name of the afghan on it, when there is another one to do I can always know exactly what green or blue I used.
I also have the first ten rows of the Stewart Tartan done and another mistake. I picked up a smaller hook than I normally use and live and learn. I will take my spare hooks and leave them with the work at all times.
On a brighter note I am also almost finished my first leg of the highland hose that I am working on. It is not a difficult pattern, but one that has a topper of what I call trinity stitch, followed by cables turned every seven rows, almost ready to decrease.
Have a great day, it is very cold here, windy and a winter storm is threatening to come.
