Crochet Anyone?
Look at what I started! I’m so excited!!! I haven’t crocheted in years, and the amazing thing is that once I put that crochet hook in my hand it all came back! I can’t believe that a repetition of stitches can be so ingrained I can recall it years later.
This basket of beautiful pink, soft, pink, cotton, pink yarn is going to become a throw! I selected three shades of delicious pink!
Here’s what I’ve done so far…
It’s a pieced throw that will end up looking like patchwork. It’s worked in long strips, with half double crochet blocks of assorted colors. I’m ready to add the next color! Care to join me? You can find the pieced throw pattern in the book called “Simple Crochet” (you’ll find it on my book tab above) and you can find the yarn here. I’m using the softest European handknit cotton from Rowan. And the crochet hook? It’s one of the new ergonomic hooks from Clover. I love it!
Don’t crochet? You could easily knit this throw! I’m ready to add the next color and then I’ll be back with more pictures.
Do you have a craft that you love other quilting? I’m betting that most of us “crafty” types have many other talents! Applique is my passion, but working with yarn is fun too!
Next post I’m going to show you my $4000 pair of hand knit socks that Brigette made me. She thinks I’ll never wear them.
Hugs,
Anne

Hi Anne–I love to knit–easy things–right now I knit 4 baby hats for the newborns at my local hospital–I especially enjoy knitting while I am doing laundry!!!
I also forgot to tell you that I have my Tisket-Tasket blocks all made and they are on display on my workshop site–it was last week that I got them finished–so scroll down some–I made each one into a little wall hanging by itself for my front door!!! Thank you soo much!!
Hugs, Di

I started crocheting again about a year ago, after about a 10-year absence, and I love it again. I like to crochet in the car, or while I’m watching tv. Can’t wait to see your yummy throw when it’s finished!

Funny, I was just talking to my BFF last night about crocheting. I have an afghan I started years ago that I want to finish and she is going to help me. A little more portable than quilting! Love the pink!
