(This post is part of my Year of Projects: Crochet Master Class: Lessons and Projects from Today’s Top Crocheters
Like Ace Frehley, I’m back!
Did you miss me? (I missed you!) I skipped my Year of Projects update for the first time ever last week. I had to take about a week off from my blog to work on a secret project while simultaneously dealing with a whole mess of deadlines at work (the kind of deadlines that involve 12 hour days). I tried to keep up with everyone else’s projects, but, in truth, I wasn’t that successful at it.
I did manage to sneak in a few minutes on my Irish rose project this weekend, so it has grown a bit since I last shared a picture on Work In Progress Wednesday.
This Irish rose project is suited to all of the various -a-longs that I’m involved with: Surmount the Stash, 12 for myself, and Year of Projects. It seems to be turning itself into a choker. I’m not much for jewelry, but I’m planning on wearing it (at least a few times) when it is finished.

Sorry you had such a busy week at work. Glad you survived and welcome back

Thanks Keri! I’m glad I survived, too!

Thanks Ruth! I received the yarn in a swap. It isn’t something I would have bought for myself normally, so I was really glad to have it when this Irish rose project came into my mind.

Would love to see some photos of how you end up wearing it!

That’s so pretty! If you were really keen they would make a lovely belt too. I hope you have an easier week at work.

I love Irish Roses. I’m just considering crocheting up some Irish Rose blanket squares from Patricia Hewitt’s pattern! Lovely yarn colours!

How neat how those roses are connected to one another. It’ll be interesting to see how you wear them.

Busy weeks appear to be the trend. This past week for me was dreadful.
Love love love those irish roses!

Welcome, and thanks Christine! Sorry to hear your week was dreadful!

Thanks Kepanie! I was planning a choker, but now goodpurlgonebad has me thinking of making a belt instead…
00:33 on January 30th, 2012
Oooh, thanks for telling me about Priscilla Hewitt’s pattern, Minding My Own Stitches. I may need to make something like that myself when I start working up my charity squares.

I will give it a try Kathryn/CrochetBlogger, but I’m not promising any 365 project

Doesn’t it make you feel a little bad when out miss one, I’ve done it once I think, but I felt out of sorts!
Love your new project, the yarn is perfect for it, I reckon a belt is a great idea!

Oh how work gets in the way of things! Lovely yarn and lovely roses. I hope this week is better…

Thanks Faith – you are the second person recommending a belt. Hmmm, decisions, decisions!

So true Kim. Yet we need it to buy the yarn

Looking good, it’s worth going to be a really pretty choker.

Thanks Emma!
