I make modest progress on several projects

The past couple of days instead of focusing on one thing, I have worked on a mish mash of pieces of several projects.

With three bags-to-be waiting to be completed:

These future granny square bags with their respective linings are three of several projects I am working on

I decided that I really should start working on the straps/handles, so that I could get them done.

I had a couple of ideas in my head of some “must have” elements, but I had been putting off starting work on them at all because I had not worked out all of the particulars. Yesterday, however, I realized that sometimes you just need to pick up your feet (or in this case, your hook), and start moving forward, and it was time for me to do just that.

Building on the Romanian point lace i cord skills I refreshed just last week I finished this length for the sangria colorway bag:

and got a start on a length for the Scooby Doo inspired bag:

With one element done for one of the bags, and a respectable start on an element for a second bag, I decided I probably should get back to the cookie scarf, and I was going to do exactly that, but then I got a little bit waylaid.

Sitting within arm’s reach of me was an assortment of tempting colors, and I thought it would be a good idea to solidify my newly perfect Lemonades™ inspired cookie in head and kinetic memory, so I made one more in Red Heart Super Saver rouge and Caron United fresh green:

With the fanciful crochet cookie done and 12 cookies ready to become a scarf:

I got out the six colors I needed started work on 13th crochet cookie inspired by M&M’s:

I have a few more ends to weave and stitches to crochet before this cookie is done, but with each stitch, I get closer to finishing my first cookie scarf.
