Crochet Me Crazy

Okay---- I've finally got it figured out and now I'm cooking! I had to just clear my brain. It's a cable stitch and you are having to crochet into the 2nd row below your working row so it is difficult to find your stitches. I decided to start completely over and use pieces of yarn to mark my chain stitches that I need to find a couple of rows up. This will ensure that I am definately getting it in the right place....well, that WORKED! Now, it's working out just fine and it's straight like it's supposed to be. Last night I finished up my second ball of yarn on the project. It's looking nice now.



Okay, I'm really trying to hold it together here waiting to move and hear back from the company about Jeff's possible job. I'm getting frustrated because every day Alison keeps having to do horse rides and she is very overwhelmed and it is interfering with her getting her school work done. I told them that she couldn't do rides every day because she has to have 5 hours a day between ballet and her other activities to do school. They still are giving her rides. When they told us we had 12 rides coming yesterday, I almost came unglued. I need for Alison to be able to have time to do her school work during the day and at this rate, she is not going to accomplish what I had for her this year. I went over and told Mrs. Grain that I am not going to let Alison do rides this summer because she's going to have to continue her school work through the summer to finish. She wants her to work part time or half days or a few days a week at least. Letting go of Alison seems to be hard to do!
