Still stuck inside…more snow

Posted in Crochet, tagged , , , on February 10, 2010| Leave a Comment »

It is snowing again.  We got another several inches last night.  Just what we needed seeing how the roads haven’t been cleared from the first snow. 😦

I’m still crocheting.  Here is a scarf/wrap and hat that I made out of some beautiful green yarn.  And I am working on a couple of other hats.  I’m having such fun with this.

For those of you who emailed me, no I haven’t stopped painting.  I’m still painting but with all the time inside I have to do other things as well.  So this week I just thought I’d change it up a little.  Thanks for asking and for the encouragement.  I really appreciate it.

Stay warm and safe.

More snow and more crochet…

Here is a better view of the variegated yarn basket that was in the background of the photo yesterday.  This is the second one I made from that same pattern.

And I just kept crocheting.  There is something addictive about it.  I don’t really understand it but I can’t stop.

I made hats!  I’ve never made hats before.  But I found this terrific website where they have gobs of beautiful patterns that you can download and I found so many great things to try.

If you like crochet check out www.crochetpatternscentral.com and from there you find many links to other places where there are great patterns available including the website for the yarn makers. 

I did paint a little yesterday too but this is such a refreshing change that I am planning more for today and with the call for another 8-12 inches of snow tonight I just hope I have enough yarn laid in the carry me through to the thaw.  🙂

A Different Creative Side

Posted in Crochet, Small Town Life, tagged , , , on February 8, 2010| 1 Comment »

Sometimes when I’m feeling creative I want to do something other than paint.  With all the snow around and not being able to go out much I picked up some yarn and a crochet hook and went to it.

These are yarn baskets with handles that I made this weekend.  They happen to be stuffed with yarn just so you could get an idea of how they look and their size.

I love to crochet.  And I forget how much I enjoy it until I pick up a crochet hook and go to work.  My granny taught me how.  When I was very young she would be working on something and I would beg to help.  So she taught me how.  I was way to young to grasp the total concept but I could chain, which is the foundation stitch for all crochet.  And I could chain from here to the moon.

But it took me awhile before I could put it together and actually make something.  I think I must have been around 11 or 12 when I really started making things. 

I love trying something new.  So this weekend with all the snow I had my opportunity.  And here are the bags.  And thanks Granny for helping me not be bored to death this weekend.  I wish you were still here to see what I made.  🙂

Tomorrow, who knows???!!!
