Somehow, the yarn Sairy send me in her wonderful swap package, wants to be scarved up. I have not decided on what to do with the Noro yarn, but here's my first go at the Paton's.

 

The yarn is very nice to work with, though I guess it is not too good to use on projects were you are likely to frog a lot in-between. I very much like the colouring effects. Which tempts me a little to use the yarn for softies, because those self-colouring things turn out quite nice, mostly, but then, scarves are so nice to crochet, either. :)

I think it might be a little scratchy for a matching cap and too thick for mittens...

First, here are the promised photos of my entrelac scarves. I did not get much finished last week; I'd taken too many large projects along. My heart count is at 124 currently. The big heart is still in the 

hexagon phase. I made two pairs of wirstwarmers, though, for my niece and one of her friends. I just have to add the little butterflies for her. The pattern is from one of my wonderful japanese crochet books. Then I made my first hairband. I'm not sure whether crocheting them is a good idea, because when stretched, the rubber shows through. With this light green, that is not so much of a problem, but still...
My great feat of the last week was to teach a left-handed girl how to crochet. For me, it was a little exercise in topology and geometry, to rethink the stitches for the other hand. And she is a natural, so it was a very satisfying teaching experience. :-)
There's 424 people in front of me on the ravelry list. This number did not change the last three times I checked - just the number of people behind me increased.

This weekend I explored triangles.
My first project was this:

I like the spikes, they look funny, but I wanted something more settled, too, and anyway wanted to do entrelac crochet for a while now. This is number three:

Number two is the same, but made into a ring and twisted, so it is a Möbius. Fun how you can put different geometrical concepts together in just one creation. :-)
