I know exactly what you mean.

....NOW, I only do granny square type throws/blankets. Easy to pick up and put down, only a few stitches to remember and count too. You don't have to refer to a pattern to figure out where to go next...just a whole lot easier. Kind of boring sometimes, but I get the satisfaction from the actual crocheting part, just a relaxing rhythm and repetitive type motion.

I do have another pattern that I love for scarves. The first base row is just a chain stitch, I'll have to find my pattern to say how many to start with though. But the rest of the time you alternate double crochet, with single crochet. It forms a really interesting and pleasing pattern, and it has a nice flow and rhythm to it also.

Thanks for the well wishes!! I won't work too hard, I promise.

Well, I'm heading out. If I can muster a data signal out there, I'll try to pop in later, but I never know if I'll have one or not.

Have a wonderful rest of the day everyone.

I do love love love scarfs! Torey made me the prettiest purple one for Christmas!

My go to pattern is for broomstick lace. Chain to the length you want. Make a row of single crochet. Without turning, reach back through each crochet and draw up a loop that you put over a giant needle (or if it is for a king/queen or double a smooth broomstick). When you get to the end, remove 3 to 5 loops, twist gently and single crochet 3 to 5 across the top, repeating til you get them all off. Repeat until it is the size you want. I have made 2 king size, one for my mom and 1 for my MIL... always tell myself I will do one for me someday... yeah... someday...
