Lost My Crochet Hook and My Mind...

 

I added to the sleeves on the dress, because the doll's arms are half cloth and it looks weird. This is how I did it:

Round 1: Join yarn w/ a sl st in the ch space in the underarm area. Ch2, dc in same space. *DC in next 2 dc, skip dc before Ch 1 space, dc 2 together over ch 1 space and next dc, Repeat from * around. Join w/ sl st in top of first dc.

Round 2: Ch 2, dc first 2 dc together. *Dc in next dc. Dc next 2 together. Repeat from * around. (17 dc)

Round 3: Ch 2, Dc first 2 together. Dc in next 5, dc next 2 together. Dc next 6, dc next 2 together. (14 dc)

Round 4: Ch 2, dc around.

Round 5: Ch 1, sc in same space. Ch 1, sl st in top of the sc just made (picot made). *Sc in next two spaces. Ch 1, sl st in top of sc just made. Rep from * around. Join w/ sl st to first sc. Fasten off. 

I finished crocheting all the clothes last night. I was weaving ends in on the booties with my hook, in the computer room. I came in here this morning and I couldn't find the hook or the last bootie, anywhere. Sigh.....  I have more of the yarn. I could make another bootie. But, I need the hook too. They're both gone.    Uggghhhhhh... I jinxed myself because I posted a reel yesterday about losing your crochet hook. The Universe said, "Oh you want to lose a crochet hook? How about your crochet hook, and the bootie you're working on?" 😡  Thanks, Universe...

This is the last photo taken of my beloved hook...  😭  It's the only F hook I own, too. If I go buy a new one, the Universe will play more games with me and I will find it as soon as I get home from buying a new F hook.  😂   Sigh.........  I should take a picture of the finished dress, though. 

I was looking for more dolls at stores yesterday. (Why???.... I have 15 dolls at least...) I was looking for a 15 inch doll that is bigger than the one in this outfit, to put in that outfit (the unicorn outfit)...   Anyway, I could not find ANY at Hobby Lobby, well except in the toy aisle. But they were all barbies or not the right size. They used to have just "craft dolls" in bags, in the craft section... You would think Hobby Lobby would have some. The ONLY doll they had was a big cloth doll with no face. Then I looked at Walmart... That was sad.  I looked later last night at Meijers..  They had some dolls, but no 15 inch dolls. I looked online, too.  They used to sell dolls through Annie's Attic and Mary Maxim, too; didn't they? I couldn't find ANY on those sites. What happened????.... 

And I kept thinking today is Friday. Our son is up in his room playing his game and I thought "Is he not working today?"... I texted him that and he said "It's Saturday".   Ughhhh I need more coffee. Or more sleep...  I definitely don't need more coffee.  Well I am off to go look for something else and maybe I will find my missing crochet hook and the bootie... Wish me luck.
