Sep. 29: "My morning reading over so I’ll get to work. Have some cutting to do, also crochet a sample. I find that to crochet is not as easy as two months ago. Don’t know if I will be able to do the afghan for Suzanne as I had planned. Too bad they lost the book with instructions. I would have had it half done by now. But maybe — we’ll see."
