Nope.
In Progress:

Stash tossing…
5th CFR23 Sock Yarn Cowl: …6” out of 8”
Crochet block experiments:
Sewed (by machine) the liner from a fat quarter!
Lakeside cardigan : sewed together two of the two long strips for the top of the back and down the arms. Pinned the 2 long strips, checked fit. Now the long seam needs sewing.

Vestuary24: finished the back! Working up the front.
Woobles again: the hook is unmarked, but measures as 4.5 mm, between G and H
My progress:

Something I Really Like:
It’s actually galvanized steel cable. Bring wire cutters. The next project using this is here..
Crack chicken
8 oz cream cheese
1 standard jar of good, organic marinara sauce (we like Newman’s Own)
Chicken pieces
Put everything into a crockpot or slow cooker on high.
Leave on high for at least one hour.
Set to low for several hours.
Enjoy! Goes well on top of any type of rice, green, noodle, or riced cauliflower.
Blather:
The stash toss: using old yarns for a crocheted sweater, yarns for mending, Mother Bear once more, and a TON of sewn mending projects to wear what I love.
Weight loss and fasting: Down 17 pounds in 7 weeks. Off the plateau! Testing glucose and ketosis—REALLY good!
Project G: back on the rails again. But close to finished.
Project Cookbook: internet keto recipes
