Hex afghan

This is technically done at 45" x 62".

It needs blocking, of course.  But it could also easily be expanded, either by adding new rows along any edge or by extending all the rows in one direction or the other,  Or by taking a new row as axis and building toward a rectangle in a whole new way

In any case, it could be finished off by adding half blocks to square up the edges (not that leaving the scallops and points isn't a nice look, too).

For now, I think I'll let it rest for a while while I turn to other projects, say for Holy Yarns.

My Hobby Lobby Brick

A crocheted brick (3 x 6 rectangle) to go with other knitted and crocheted ones to build the wall of separation between church and state recently cracked by SCOTUS.  Sent to (alas)
Secular Coalition of America
1012  14th St, NW  Suite 205
Washington, DC 20005
But I identified myself as a member of Holy Yarns from Trinity (secular humanism is better than religious inhumanism, right?)

First Prayer Shawl Project

This is my first shawl for my church's prayer shawl project.  It is a simple piece:
Chain to width + 1, turn and sc in each chain, chain 3, turn dc in each stitch.  Then two more rows of dc.  Repeat one row sc, three of dc to length, finishing with an sc row.

Lacy Shawl

A simple (in principle) pattern: Chain a multiple of five plus one to desired length (or width). SC in next loop (chain 2, dc in second loop, ch 3 sc in second loop) to end,  Ch 3 (counting as a dc), chain 2, sc in first dc, ch 2 dc in first sc) to end (end on a dc) . chain 1, (sc in dc, chain 3,  dc in sc,) to end (ending with sc).  Repeat the two rows  to the length or with desired,  Bind off.

   

In practice, things get a little confused at some places so it looks more random than the orderly instructions suggest.  Still, it is light and airy for a summer wrap.
