This was surprisingly easy and quite fun, even though I did have to frog it once because when I got ready to finish the hat, I forgot to put the yarn in the yarn gate! You can imagine what that looks like. But that’s OK, I’m very pleased with how it turned out.

I’m apologize I have been absent,although I have wanted to work on something with yarn we had a family member decide that he was done dealing with his life and I’m trying to get out of this depression and I think yarn is the only answer but it’s been extremely hard for me to get past this I did start crocheting something for my boss but I am so lost in my thoughts that I will probably have to start all over at some point… I’m not looking for sympathy but just some encouraging words and thoughts to help bring me out of this funk

Ce matin j’ai suivie un cours sur le crochet mosaïque, pas très difficile mais demande beaucoup de concentration puisqu’on suit un graphique.ci-joint une photo du début de mon travail. - This morning I took a course on mosaic crochet, not very difficult but requires a lot of concentration since we follow a graph. Attached is a photo of the beginning of my work

I have bags of yarn. However, many have no labels so I wasn't sure if they would be enough for any complete project. I just figured I'll deal with whatever comes. 1. Cast on ✔ 2. Well, while making the first project, the hat from the classroom, I ran out of yarn somewhere between, I think, rows 80 - 90. I got to try my hand at changing yarn color/adding yarn. Since I had yarn left after making the first tube (practice test) which at some point around 84 rows the yarn snapped. I had dropped a stitch, looked away then went back to crank and it snapped. I don't know if it was caught on something or what but I just ended the time there. I used that remaining yarn to finish the hat but it still wasn't enough. 😂 I ended up using yarn from the tube itself since I'd not finished it off. These are all for practice so I don't mind undoing what I've made. Yarn changing ✔ 3. After getting to row 130, I saw a dropped stitch, no 2, right next to each other. So before casting off… I got to look up and try my hand at fixing dropped stitches. ✔ Cool. I'll see how it looks once I remove it from the machine. 😁 New skill ✔ ️ Maybe not for items I'll sell but a useful skill to know. Fix dropped stitch ✔ 4. Casting off ✔ Dropped at least one stitch during the process Fix dropped stitch ✔🎉 Not finished yet! 😂 Here it is so far... Update: Completed & Finished photos added
