The Great Cats Latch Hook Project – Part 4, Final

Hi there, I finished the Great Cats Latch Hook Project Woo hoo! It was full of unseen obstacles such as inertia, a difficult pattern, having only one type of yellowish yarn even though the pattern called for  two, and not enough yarn for one needed color. But I persevered and finished. Go me!  Full speed ahead on the next project

And here’s what I did.

The Great Cats Latch Hook Project – Part 3

Hi there. I’m blogging again. I was on my back for most of ten days as I had not one, but two kidney stones. Yes, I am an overachiever. I’ve been to urgent care a fistful of times in the last year. Thank goodness, I’ve kept my Urgent Care punchard. I’ve already earned one free cheeseburger and am only one visit away from getting a second one. Anyway. I’ve made some progress on my Cats Latch Hook Project. Full speed ahead

And here’s what I’ve done.

The Second Great Latch Hook Project – Part 1

Hey! I’ve started a new latch-project. It’s early days so it does look like much yet. For some hateful reason, the makers of this new latch-hook fit jumbled all the yarn colors together. This made finding the right color, and thus the project much slower.

I solved this problem by buying DeWalt(tm) tool-sorting case. It was cheaper and better than the crafts sorters. It took a while, but most of the threads are sorted into their compartments. Beside, it looks spiffy.

And here’s my yarn-sorting case.

The Great Latch Hook Project – Part 9

Today, I latch hooked for the first time since May 3. I had been laid low with a nasty case of Covid. I felt fatigued for a few weeks after that. But today, I felt okay. Yay.

I’m back. I have resumed eye therapy and physical therapy. I’m starting to walk more. And I’ve taken up cooking meals again. Woot.

I even solved a future tax problem.

Watch out, world. I’m back.*

* = Ok, I would also like to get most of my hearing back, but the trend is good.

Anyway, I’ve done 104 out of 113 rows. Here is the work so far.

The Great Latch Hook Project – Part 7

It has not been the happiest of times lately with me taking seven extra days to fix my taxes. Then I shall have to spend $200. Sigh. It is indeed fortunate that adverse winds prevented the penguins from invading the northern six continents as I was simply too busy to pay any attention to these Antarctic adversaries.

Number Two Son made a tasty beef stew. I made Chinese Black Bean Chicken. Good culinary day.

Anyway, I’ve done 82 out of 113 rows. Here is the work so far.

The Great Latch Hook Project – Part 6

Yesterday was such a busy day. The Earth’s core is filled with nickel. Yes, it is. Well, have you been there? Anyway, Earth’s Core, EC, was fed up with having an inner, no view, cabin on Cruise Ship Earth.

“Four billion years,” it said, “that’s long enough. I want to be on the surface.  I want to see the stars and the Moon. I want to feel the wind brush all over me. I want to see the Folies Bergère. I’m coming out now.”

“Do you mean you’re telling the rest of the world that you’re gay?” I asked.

“I’m not. I’m molten metal. Anyway, I don’t get out much. And speaking of getting out, give me one good reason I shouldn’t bubble to the surface and cover the world,” said EC.

“There wouldn’t be any tacos if you suffocated us all with your metallic self.”

EC sighed. “Ok, but send me some tacos.”

And so, I spent of yesterday drilling a taco tube to EC. EC liked his tacos very much. It says, “Thank you.” The world is again at one with itself.

I am happy to say that I was able to take up latch hooking again today. I have done 4,752 squares out of 8,588. I am up to Charlie Brown’s neck.

Here’s what it looks like:

The Great Latch Hook Project – Part 5

Yesterday was a horrible day as I hurt so much and couldn’t do anything. I am happy to say that I was able to take up latch hooking again today. I am about 42% done and am doing about 1.5 squares a minute. I am up to Charlie Brown’s belly button.

Here’s what it looks life:

Blockbuster Blog: What I Did Today AND The Great Latch Hook Project

2/10/2024

1) I woke up, always a good thing.

2) I showered and dressed. Hygiene and appearance always matter.

3) Went to grocery store to get ingredients for French Dip Sandwiches and other special meals.

4) Spent time looking for everything.

5) Had to go back to the store. Wasn’t happy.

6) Drove back home.

7) Looked up my subsitutes for my  still missing ingredients.

8) Not happy. On the plus side, I had no time at all to rush out to street and foment revolution. So some good came out of it.

9) Fired up the slow cooker.

10) Worked on latch hook project. It was a struggle, because in my naievete, I had thought it would be fun to start in the middle. However, it became quite difficult to keep my place when my work from the bottom came close to my initial work in the middle.

11) This also kept me off the streets.

12) I had to take out 100-200 pieces of yarn that were wrong. Hint, don’t rely on the colors you see on the grid or mat. For the love of God, Montressor, don’t.

13) This kept me off the streets yet again.

14) Did more latch hooking.

15) Dinner should be ready in an hour.

16) I am declaring my day to be officially over.

17) The streets are safe from revolution

Behave yourselves.
