This winter it has been crocheting. My friend Shelley got me a crochet book, needle, and yarn for Christmas. Thanks to to the wonder of You Tube, and the internet I was able to teach myself to crochet. I have tried knitting in the past, and gave it up because I was basically asked to by my friends....I looked in pain every time I tried to knit...and pretty much everything looked like crap when I was done.
Ahh, but crocheting rocks....
maybe it's because I don't have to control 2 needles....only 1.
So...that is basically this years craze......
cotton, and wool!
My most recent projects are bowls......I love these basically because they are useful, and they are not a scarf. Not that I am against scarfs, but I cant seem to crochet a normal one....I keep dropping stitches, so they come out looking "special"
However, I did find a pattern, and made these spiral scarfs.... I need a model....
this is made from soy and wool yarn...
this is 100% merino wool
then I taught myself how to make granny squares, here are a few of the ones I have finished....
I think I will make a blanket......100% wool
and a book on these....
haven't finished any animals yet...
I also love this....still needs a bit of love!
Most thing are close to being complete...I need to weave in some ends.
I also made about 50 flowers, a small bag(that was suppose to be a scarf), facecloths, and I am sure some other items that I am forgetting to mention......good goddess!
I also set to work on a craft area.....I use to have my own office, then an upstairs bedroom, but those now have other uses.....so, I emptied my clothes closet, and set up shop in there.
I think I am about 70% finished.....
so much STUFF so little space. I will post more photos when I am done....
I really wanted it to look like these.....
but that would be way to hard!
