Fort Pickens

This morning we visited Fort Pickens.  It just recently re-opened to the public after suffering quite a bit of damage during the last few hurricanes.  Water and electricity have still not been re-established.  So if you go camping, it’s very BASIC.

Fort Pickens is one of four forts built to defend Pensacola Bay.  It was completed in 1834 and used until 1947.   It was also “home” to Apache prisoners in 1887 including Geronimo.

Popcorn Mile a Minute Afghan

Lately I’ve been working on a popcorn mile a minute afghan.  I have a basic mile a minute pattern but no pattern that included the popcorn stitch.  So I came up with my own.

When I complete a strip, I add chain 3 every other stitch around.  Then when I am on the last row (the chain 3 row) of the next strip, I crochet it to the first completed strip.  I prefer to crochet the strips together as I make them so I am not putting them together once they are all done.  It makes me feel as if I have accomplished something and I don’t tend to have another unfinished project lying around the house.

Here are a couple of pictures of my work in progress:
