Deb’s Beautiful Blanket
Now you have a good excuse for all the crocheting you are doing! It’s good for your health. 🙂
Take a look at this interesting article from Red Heart that describes some of the many benefits of crocheting and knitting. Here is an excerpt: “Relaxed, repetitive motions such as the ones used in crochet and knitting can help calm down the body and the brain. Have you ever come home and sat down to work on your current project after a bad day? Not only does working on something you enjoy help, but the actual motions involved assist in creating a better mood.”
And here is Deb with the blanket she made after taking last month’s crochet class at The Studio. (See info on that here and here.) I told you this pattern worked up fast. Doesn’t it look GREAT?! She came by last night to learn about weaving in the ends which she’ll get done right away but I couldn’t resist getting this great shot of her with her blanket. Beautiful work Deb. Keep it up! Now on to “Popcorn and Bobbles”.
Our next Crochet Class at The Studio is going to feature this 2-in-1 wrap. You can wear it as a Mobius Wrap or as a bulky Cowl. Either way it’s very pretty and useful….and easy to make.
Here are some ideas. What do you think?
The reason my posts have been a little sporadic this past week is that a week ago I had knee surgery. And because I am “recovering” I have not been able to create the way I normally do. I am hoping to be back at The Studio later this week to do a little catching up. It’s hard to sit still….at least for me!
Yesterday afternoon we had our final Paint Party of the year – Pet Portraits! We have had a terrific year at The Studio helping so many people paint wonderful paintings to enjoy. Thanks everyone.
More snowmen at a really fun Birthday Party last night at The Studio. Happy Birthday Connie!
Just worked up this “Winter Tree” to go with the Fall ones that we painted last month. Some of us are doing the whole “Four Seasons” set of these over the next few months. We will do this one at a Paint Party in February.
