Abit of a barnical break

This week (23^rd till 27^th of April) I shall be in Sheffield for the NUS National Conference 2012. This is where students from around the country come together and decide (place garble in here) . I feel privileged to be part of the Arts University College at Bournemouth's delegation team. Even though I shall be doing this all week I have also set myself a target which I must reach every day. I have concluded that I shall make 10 barnicals a day in both button hole stitch with a frame and in crochet form which may be used later on in the project. I feel this is a reasonable target and may work with the crochet hook during conference. I am getting more confident in my abilities with the crochet hook so if possible I may also try a variety of different stitches such as the chain which may be woven into the beards. There is also a possibility that once Ive mastered some of these stitches I could use scraps of material and even string to form parts of garments.

Today i have been able to make:

2 x Green (Double Knit) Wool using a 5mm Crochet Hook. 

3 x Green (Double Knit) Wool using a 3.5mm Crochet Hook

1 x Blue (Double Knit) Wool using a 3.5mm Crochet Hook

2 x Blue (Double Knit) Wool using a 5mm Crochet Hook

All lovely wools to work with, minimal fraying and when pulled taunt didn't tease apart like other wools, maybe using double knit wool would be a good idea throughout making these so they look professional.
