Pastor Liao

Pastor Liao and his wife visited my mom on the first day after she received chemotherapy. Pastor Liao just retired this year. He still teaches and travels.

lacy scarve

This is the lacy scarve I've been working on and off.

The pattern is from a crochet book I purchased in Taiwan.

I've used 3 balls of wool blend yarn from Switzerland.

According to the label, the "Astra" yarn is 80% Schurwolle and 20% Polyamid.

Each ball weights 50g and is approximately 100 meters long.

The yarn can be handwashed and ironed.

I found about 10 balls of this pink yarn and a half-finished sweater at my mom's second floor workroom in Taichung. That workroom is primarily a sewing room with a lot of old fabric, threads, zippers, bottons etc. Further investigation reveals that the sweater was my sister's handwork. The sweater has a few small holes, possibly by some bugs. With my sister's permit, I start using the leftover yarns for this scarve. I want to crochet something quick and easy when I'm chatting with my mom at home or hospital. She sometimes laments how tedious to crochet fabric. Sometimes she suggests that I should crochet a vest. She said it's easy if you know how to make a pattern. She still thinks like a tailor.
