<\/a> <\/p>\nView from the high point on Cuttyhunk. The church steeple is a United Methodist church, but the list of multi-demoninational services available only mention RC and Episcopal!.. not even a Methodist service!<\/em><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n In the interim I have been spending some frustrating time fiddling with wifi on our boat with a cell booster a the top of the mast for connection. Nothing is ever as simple as advertised, and as I write I am not connected. I am just making a word document!<\/p>\n And<\/i> I am attempting to learn to crochet. Actually, I know several crochet stitches and have managed to make trim for my knitted items over the past few decades, but I have never made a crocheted piece. When I visited WEBS in May, I was smitten with the crocheted market bag<\/font><\/a> (made from 8\/2 linen), which is finished with a lovely leather handle from Homestead Heirlooms<\/font><\/a> (also now available at WEBS). I chose a dark aubergine leather handle. I am determined to learn this! Thank heaven for the internet because during the brief moments when I had access to it I managed to watch a video on how to do a \u201cHalf Double Crochet\u201d as well as how to do a \u201cBack Post Half Double Crochet.\u201d It sure is hard to recognize when I’ve come to the end of a round (would new knitters say this too?), so I’m trying to use a marker to keep me on track. I’m forging ahead\u2026.but slowly. I\u2019m not sure that crochet will ever feel natural\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" > I’ve been in some lovely places lately, not weaving! I missed opportunities to weave in the Mystic River, on Cuttyhunk in the chain of Elisabeth Islands, and in Tashmoo Lake on Martha’s Vineyard.
