Speaking of the ironing board, I'm in love with my "new" vintage iron. It steams great. When the steam button is set, it steams when you start pressing and the steam stops when you set it upright. It stays hot since it doesn't know to tell itself to turn off. I'm in love. If you missed the iron post, it's just a few posts back if you want to read. I'm thinking I may need to stalk Ebay for another "good deal" on a vintage iron just to "have on hand" if something happens with this one.
With no sewing going on, I have been able to crochet in spits and spirts. It's a lacy pull over pattern top from Issue 5 of Crochet 1 2 3 magazine. I've only started it at least 3 times; I had a terrible time wrapping my brain around some of the instructions. I admit, it's been a while since I've crocheted, but I think I finally have it figured out. In it's current state:
I try to complete a few rows each day. I'm anxious to complete it even though I haven't been able to spend long periods of time with the hook. Seems I have too many irons in the fire lately. Seems to be story of my life.
That is a marvelous color-it will look so pretty when done.
