Crochet Me Crazy

Wow, last year on this day, we were so busy at the stables we could scarcely breathe. It was the busiest day we had had the whole year. Today, we have had 4 riders so far today. It's bordering on boring up here today. There are not a lot of campers in the park today either.

There is a big dark cloud hanging over the stables today.

Will it rain? We can only pray that it will but it won't surprise me if it passes right over us.

Well, my husband has applied for a tax appraiser job here. He is the only applicant so far and the board is having a meeting in about a week. Pray that if it is God's will, he will get the job! He might not be the most popular guy in town, and the pay isn't great, but at least it would be a secure job and we can get on with some kind of normal life.

Well, I started on my Fisherman Crochet afghan last week. Exactly what I was afraid would happen, happened. I got to my second series of pattern stitches and I could not figure out how to do the "knurl" stitch. I kept looking at the illustrations and it just didn't make sense. I sat there forever trying to figure it out, hoping I don't have to give up! Then I decided to seek help on the internet. I found out that a "knurl" stitch is simply a reverse single crochet! Well, why didn't they say so...and those illustrations make it look much more involved than it actually is...I mean it's really so simple! So, I've made it past that hurdle. I haven't made it much further though.
