                            It's a LOT of fun to work on this piece - I am enjoying using my mannequin to help me figure out where to put new bits... I spent the morning sitting out in the back yard with the TV on (yes, we have a television in our backyard) - enjoying the cool/warm weather and watching some mystery show... pretending to know how to crochet and making random bits of crochet and knitting.  piece after piece made and stuck into a ziploc baggie...


                            I have purchased a few books online that should help me with my crochet skills - While I want to make more and more for this piece, I think it'd be wise to wait (it should only be a day or two!) until some of those books arrive and I have the chance to learn some new stitches!  (I'm anxious though; I love this working without a pattern stuff!!)



                            Once I had a lot of bits done, I started to attach them to my fleece - which I bought from Ozark Handspun!  I haven't discovered yet just how much of the fleece will be visible by the time I'm done with this piece... it's a "work in progress" which as you know means that I have no idea what it's gonna look like finished!

                            Freeform can be a little challenging - there are some colors that I think work good, but then once I stick the piece on the wrap, they stick out - like the purple does in this picture - but as I keep going things seem to work themselves out.

                            I'm gearing up for work - getting ready for another full week - I hope everyone had a nice safe weekend!

                            Kyle, this is looking good so far. I like how you are incorporating the fleece. Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see the finished project!

                            I'd love to see what that freeform looks like when it's finished.
