This was  going to be my entry for this month. It's my first go at tunisian crochet.
It's La Mer Scarf from interweave crochet in some sock yarn ( can't remember which but will check ).
It's going really well at the moment and I'm really enjoying it.

I've just ordered some hooks from e-bay but I couldn't wait so I'm using a normal 5.5mm crochet hook.
It's alot easier to do than I thought it would be, it looks so intricate.

I hadn't seen that Pictish thank you.
Wishing n all the best and that things improve soon.

It's just nice to have something that I could  show as life as a habit of getting in the way sometimes and hasn't left much time for particular crafting. I've still been knitting etc but not anything I could have entered.
