Let's talk about hooking

I have been hooking aka crocheting a lot lately.
Finishing up mostly from my basket of shamefulness, the UFO basket, picked randomly to finish.

A cape or caplet in pineapple motifs. I thought this would be fast, but it took me many hours of hooking and unravelling. Seriously, I don't have the pattern for this.  It's a good alternative to a jacket or a shawl, 6 balls of  I think less than 50gm Coral colored yarns. I actually can't recalled what yarn this is, it's been so long. All I remembered was I bought these during one of my travels. My first with this brand too , don't quite fancy working with this yarn.

The brick colored crocheted blouse/ tunic was done and put together some weeks back yet I left out  the hemming finishing.  I was running out of yarns and had to  rummage my basket for any yarns left but apparently not. With that,  I had to be thrifty with what's left and somehow managed . Whew! that was a close call.

The sleeveless lilac pineapple tunic it was.   I didn't like it's length now. Couldn't figured out why I made that length then when I have already stop growing. LOL.  In a way,  it's possible to  reconstruct it's length; only tedious, lots of patient and took 3 hours of unraveling time.  Currently I am adding the sleeve, sleeveless sounds unappealing now.

And because these crocheted projects was done ages ago, I no longer could find a similar color match for my old projects even thou it's from the same manufacturer. Variations in product colors is not unusual and may and can occur from batches to batches with every production .  To make matters worst, my projects had been hibernating for some 5 to 10 years and even more.

This weekend, I'll be heading to an ancient city.

Sunglass, hat, scarf , a mini fan are among the things I have packed.
I hope the weather is kind and favorable during my visit. We are experiencing some extraordinary continuous heavy rainfalls lately with some devastating flash flood disasters earlier in the weeks effecting our Northern States terribly. Hopefully the weather is clear and good where I am heading since we are only about 2hours flight time away.

Before I end my post, here are some wedding photos I attended last weekend,  hosted by a dear friend from college for her son  at the Shangri-La Grand Ballroom .

Extravagant  and elaborate wedding dresses to lavish deco is all I can say about the wedding

Fairytale is the theme
