Lets Get Crocheting...

I know most of you are wondering what happened to my update on the chalkboards... shesh

Well I got a tad bit distracted...

Last Last weekend (so in other words two weekends ago) while cleaning up the basement I found this lovely bag of goodies...


I used to crochet years ago... it began as a way for me to stop munching in the evenings while watching TV.

I also made little toques for my babies before their arrivals (which they never wore other than during the occasional photo... I always estimated the size of their heads incorrectly).

I also used crocheting as a way to get me through recovery time after all my surgeries...being creative totally lifted my spirits

I also liked that it reminded me of my grandma who taught me how to knit & crochet as a young child (she gave me my first red spool at age 5). There is just something so generational & traditional about working with the yarn (plus it comes in so many pretty colors)

So I decided to start again...

I made this...

and this....


and this....


and have plans to turn these into a couple scarves as well

  
I wish I remembered how to knit, maybe someday I can get back into that too

The sun is shining & I hope everyone is having a great day
