Arrrggh!

This blog post brought to you in honor of Talk Like a Pirate Day. Yeah, I know it's not until tomorrow but we like to get our swash buckled early around here :)
In case you want to know, here's where you find out your pirate name...
(that site brought to me by the lovely ArtemisOrange)
Aaaannd, speaking of hooks--(hahahahahaha)---

I joined my first mystery Crochet A Long and have been having fun. The above is one motif of 24 to crochet before we hook 'em all together. The pattern is called Peacock Track Scarf and the yarn is Dream in Color Starry in the color Gothic Rose. It was an interesting thing altogether in that the instructions were provided via audio file by Stitch Stud with a supporting chart given as we have all caught up together. I admit to being a poor auditory processor but with concentration and the keeping of the Cheese at legs length, I managed :)


I've also cast on this lovely bit here...

It is going to be an Ishbel (pronounced sha-bel, boy was I off!!) I'm just starting the lace portion now. The yarn is called Buxkranzel (loosely translated means box wreath) and it came from the Wollmeise sock club.
So, there you have it. Don't forget to talk like a pirate tomorrow. I think there's even the option to add that as your language in Facebook, although I haven't checked. It's also Spin in Public day so extra bonus points for spinning in public dressed like Jack Sparrow!!
