I am back... and retired from my day job

It's been a long time since I have checked in.  Today is my first day of retirement.  It is very nice.  i love the freedom to plan my day around activities I enjoy.
I have been doing quite a bit of crocheting lately, sooooo have decided to call this Rovena's Knit and Crochet News

I have been challenging myself to design under different circumstances... Like left over yarn, working in colors, beautiful projects that don't take a lifetime to finish. Here is one example I just finished. Pattern will be out soon. Feel free to let me know what you think.

I have been working on adding new patterns.  I decided to keep a notebook in which i note the projects i am working on / designing and make sure to take notes on what i am doing... memory doesn't always work too well.  I will be posting new cowl patterns soon.

Coming soon...

Berocco Ultra Alpaca Tonal - 1 Skein

I am also working on a sweatshirt pattern in a chunky weight... that will be out soon.  I am working on three sizes... M/L and L/XL are complete, just need to work on S now.

New Snood for your enjoyment.  For lack of a better name I am calling it Snood 1.
I'm publishing Snood 2 later...
