NeedleworkMonday Crochet at the Beach Yay or Nay?

Hello Needleworkers.

I am still waiting for the day someone starts showing off their tattoos for this community.

I recently took my Valentine's Day Project to the beach. I pictured a Metzli of days past who could take a towel, bowl of cherries and a good book and hang out at the beach all day long. I figured maybe my project would get a little sea smell woven into it.

I had my project out already when remembrance of who present day Metzli is, mom of a little boy who likes to kick dirt.

Still, if the kid wasn't into throwing sand... still seems like a bad idea. Any beach crocheters out there?

Here are some pictures of my Valentines Day project. It turns out the yarn might not be that magical, as the supply is dwindling fast. I already know the next few projects will be worked up in white, with my Valentines Day yarn to go on the edges, this way, I can extend the material to get me a full set of towels.

the pattern looks almost purposeful

check out those sharp corners, I can barely believe its my work

the other side is just as sharp too.

remember my son's washcloth? It didn't have a chord. So I made him a new one. Here I am bragging that I finally conquered the chorded stitch. No more braids or double crochet stitches when I make purses and such, now I make cords.

Thank you for visiting me.
