Show us something you're working on.

I've crocheted a Lorenz manifold (google for chaos and crochet and you'll find Hinke Osinga's pattern), and I have put in two out of three axes. Alas, the hard part will to put in the third...

finished!

I finished the Lorenz manifold! Here is a first photo:

Manifold finished!

Now I'll have to go and find the material for mounting it...

Can softies live on manifolds, too?

many folds

The manifold up to the last blue row before the last one. It is a nice lap-blanket now. With all that folds it would even work for a highly pregnant women to warm her belly...
I might have to buy even one more ball of yarn of red and bordeaux. Using less colours makes it less yarn-intensive.

After spending the trainride home switching markers and crocheting some more (closely watched by two teenagers who were trying to decide whether I was crocheting ("But she has a crochet hook. I know that that is a crochet hook!") or not and if so, what I was making - and never getting the idea of just asking) I started hating the green. Not the colour as such, but I did not like the way it stood out on the rest. So, I started a new one. This is how far I got with the old:

old and new

getting somewhere

The new one is at row 15. I stopped the old one in mid-row of row 18. To the right, you see my favorite in-progress-picture. I crochet it with a smaller needle now (2mm instead of 2 1/5). And I bought three more balls of yarn today, one of red, orange and bordeaux each. I hope that will be enough.
This is how far I got currently (row 32 finished):
That is more than 600 stitches per
row, now. And about 12.800 more
to go in the last fifteen rows.

If the mounting won't work, I can still use it to wrap the cushion

So, probably these are rather boring posts, but I want to be able to cheer me up looking at early stages. Now, I passed the Doppelstäbchen (treble, double treble; AE and BE differ there) -part and am back to normal Stäbchen which are much quicker to crochet. I'm close to 200 stitches per round. And will end up with more than a thousand.

Lorenz manifold up to row eleven

Lorenz manifold folded in half

Not very good photos, I agree. But my marking system works very well; I can crochet on the train and while watching tv if I do the counting beforehand.

Here they are, my first progress photos:

Lorenz manifold

This is after round five. Up to that round I did the counting while crocheting, but then I decided I have to devide both tasks.

Lorenz manifold

So I started to first do the counting and insert small threads to mark each increase. Then I can do the crocheting without counseling the instruction for one round. That is, unless those little markers get loose. So far, that did not happen.
