It always seem that the days where I feel pretty lousy are the days when I suddenly feel really pressured to achieve things. I mean, really turn things around and sort out the big picture. While at the same time feeling completely incapable of doing so. I generally end up wasting the day fretting.
So my solution was to pick a very small job and finish it in order to give myself a sense of accomplishment (however fleeting). So I picked a bowl I started to crochet with beautiful handspun yarn from Kristyn of Pleasurecraft a mere year ago. I had about 2 inches left on this bowl, yet I set it aside at some point and didn't finish it. I wasn't sure if it was going to work out as it was turning out to be very floppy.
Here's the bowl before felting:

Wow! That's really, really pretty!
Thank you Chloe!
Very nice and such sunshine-y colours. Did you have a pattern for it?
I could try to make an exact pattern for the next time to share with you. I just made it up as I went along. But it's quite simple if you've crocheted before so I can tell you how I did it. I've added the instructions to my post, thanks for asking!
love it! very sunny indeed. :)
