I am hoping that this blog will help you and me experience the craft of crochet as well as knitting. During times of silence or turmoil, crochet and knitting continuously help me quiet my mind at my own pace, enabling me to find my center. I am also sharing my SECRET persona, Lt. DAX, my life in code while living in Bajor. Maybe fiction maybe not is up to you to decide. Peldor Joi!!!

On my way to Bajor 08

I am on my way to Bajor for a most needed vacation. Working on Deep Space 9 is definitely a nice job,but once in a while you need to let go and swim with the Tepia. I had to take a Transport to The main Bajoran City and then a small local transport to the Guaynab Province. This is a picture from the top of the Tower of The Prophets, beautiful View isn't it?
In the meantime the war with the Dominion has ended and lots of traffic has been reported on the Bajoran Sector due to our neutrality with the Former Dominion Empire. I was lad to see the war end, but I do miss Constable Odo. There are times when I miss a lot of my friends from the old times as well. Well I pray to the prophets that we get nice weather while I am in Guaynab. I am hoping to sample the local cuisine and some of y old favorite eating establishments.
I will go and visit the old city and search for the old shoemaker, Ro Maran. This guy makes the best shoes in the province, handmade, but computer calibrated, go figure. You know sometimes we get to spend too much time being black and white and not enjoying the shades of grey that real life has to offer.
My sister, may the prophets bless her, and may her pah be always strong, she has a young daughter that she wants total control off, then she wants her to have her life. You either let go or you don't. Is like Sisko explained to us the other day. I told my sister that the Emissary compares life to a Baseball Game. She seems to want to control the game, and it just does not work, sometimes you strike out, sometimes is a hut and sometimes is a homerun. Nothing bad, nothing good, just play the game. You want to control the game of life and that is impossible, only the prophets exist in the present,thepast and the future at the same time. Ihope I can bring some balance to her life with my visit. May the prophets be with us.

Baby Set Afghan Border WIP 90%

Green Baby Set Afghan WIP 80%
So the Afghan from the Baby set is still a work in progress. Wouldn't you know that as I am working on the final section of the afghan's body I can see a slight change in color in the middle. lol! The dye lots are different and it is so slightly different that you don't know if the light is playing tricks on you. I did not know because this was a gift from my friend Scott who passed away and his father was kind enough to send me all Scott's yarn, some had no labels and this one was one of those. Nevertheless the dark dye lot is on the sides and the light dye lot in the middle, giving you the impression that it was done by design. The edge will be the thing that brings it together as you shall see. I love making baby sets, because it is a whole assemble. Sunday I am hoping to get a ribbon to finish this afghan for a gift. Thanks for stopping by!

This hat is not at all like the one in the set, it allows for the baby to grow and still use the same hat.
Honorable Griffindor Scarf
Here you have the Honorable Gryffindor House scarf. I am very proud of my work. This sarf took a very long time in the making, just because of personal reasons don't ask and I won't tell. lol! It is a hand made item and the experience has been wonderful, not as good as the oter ones, but nevertheless a very nice experience. I think that everytime that you finish a project you come out with lots of experience. I will be making a Gryffindor Hat and or a headband maybe during the San Francisco Summer which is like winter lol! It is very soft.
The Yarn is Andean Silk for the "Mustard" = Gold color and Wool of the Andes for the "Holly" = Burgundy from http://knitpicks.com the greatest yarn for a great price .Thanks for stopping by!
