Crochet Fever

Okay, I can’t help it.

I like to mindlessly crochet in the wintertime. I can’t do anything more than a double crochet and I usually just make big squares and crochet them together, or I just make big single color afghans. I like to buy yarn, but just one skein at a time because the color or texture appeals to the mynah bird in me. I just can’t help it. It’s in my genes. My mom is a crazed knitter and crochet-er and I guess some of that has oozed into my chromosomes and come winter, I must do something with yarn. I’m pretty sure as I get older, it will become more and more an addiction and I won’t be able to stop.

I actually brought some with me to the bluegrass festival last weekend!!!!!

Oh gosh, is there a 12 step program for this affliction?????

  1. No, ANYthing but toilet paper covers! haha! Thanks for sharing your crochet and your sense of humor with the rest of the world. :)

    God’s best,

  2. I tried a couple dish cloths and they looked pretty good but I had trouble getting them clean. They were pretty funky and took awhile to dry.
    Your yarn is beautiful. It looks sooo soft.
    Did you get my email about the recent down–to–earth posts?? I think you throw me into the junk mail since I have a new email address. LOL P~

  3. Hiyah! Yeah I’ve been writing back… do you think I might be in your spam filter? Go and take a look for me! I did! I wrote ya back!

  4. Ha! That’s really nifty. I can crochet okay but have trouble with making my rows even. With knitting I seem to be better at.

  5. okay, okay…everytime I check for an update (hint, hint), I keep admiring the yarn. What exact color is it? I MIGHT be able to make an afghan but it might take me awhile. ha! P~

  6. Okay, well, it’s this weird variegated stuff I got at a garage sale. It’s Lion Brand Yarn, color Sorbet… the type of yarn is called Lion Boucle. I will admit, it’s fun and colorful but it’s a real pain to crochet. The yarn is like a string with this fuzzy stuff embedded in it and it gets snagged all the time when you are working with it. I definitely would not buy the stuff again! HAHA…. It’s nice and soft though…. fuzzy! Bella will love it.
