I’m sharing a quickie post today because I’m running out to meet my mom and join the lines of New York City shoppers preparing for Hurricane Sandy. Public schools are closed tomorrow, but I haven’t heard about the colleges yet, so I may or may not be going in to work. I hope everyone in the storm’s path remains safe over the next few days.
On a lighter note, I did make one charity square this
morning.
This is the Dog Rose from Granny Squares: Over 25 Creative Ways to Crochet the Classic Pattern
by Stephanie Gohr, Melanie Sturm, and Barbara Wilder. (I’ll be reviewing this book soon, by the way.) I haven’t woven in the ends because many of the charities ask that you don’t – it seems that some people just “knot and cut” and to make sure your ends are woven in sturdily, the charities ask you to leave the yarn tails hanging. It doesn’t make for a neat photo, though.
