Phew, that took forever. Part of the problem is that the stitches and yarn and hook were so small. (F Tunisian hook, sport weight yarn, Tunisian slip and purl stitches.) Part of the problem is that I mis-measured the sleeves and had to redo them as fast as I possibly could. I started last Friday afternoon, worked in the car and in the hotel during our weekend trip to Astoria, and grew roots on the couch where I sat all week, working all day long. I was hoping I could do them in a day each, which was a laughable wish but I wished it anyway.
So the week ticked by, and I have no recollection of it, except for waking up sore. (Did you know you could get sore from sitting on the couch and crocheting as fast as you can? Of course you did.) And yesterday evening I boxed it all up and emailed the pattern to be tech edited, and got to actually sit and do nothing for a little while! (And of course I felt weird and wanted to start another project.)
I'm awaiting yarn for two new projects now. They will go MUCH faster than the Waterloo, and my husband will be pleased with that. And so will my muscles. (They'd rather be sore after a more cardiovascular workout.)
