Crochet Strips

I brought my crochet I started awhile ago to Minneapolis and finished the first strip on the airplane!   By now, I’m on my way back from Germany and I brought it along again.  After 11 hours on a plane both coming and going,  I should have a bit more finished.  I’m not crazy about how it’s looking, but it keeps me occupied and the actual process of crocheting is so much fun!

If you remember, I made a mistake in the second color.  So many of you were kind enough to help me through it so I ripped out the rows, went back and corrected it.  I’m not sure if I’m following the directions correctly.  I feel like such a newbie at this but I’m continuing on!   Mooch seems to like laying on the little strip I finished, so maybe that’s a good sign!

I’m using Rowan cotton yarn for my crochet and it’s delightful.  I found out at market that Amy Butler has a new line of her own yarn with Rowan!  Just look at these colors!

And look at this display she had in her booth!

Color after beautiful color!

What colors would you pick?   I’d actually be happy with almost any of them.

I should be home soon.  As soon as I recover from the jet lag I’ll be back with more posts!

    I would probably go after the greens–I have warm coloring and at this point if I were to knit or crochet, it might be fun to do something for me this time such as hat, scarf, gloves–too fun to think about.

    Anne, I love this so far! Haven’t crocheted in years, but this may inspire me to begin again. My mom and I each have a box full of leftover yarns, beautiful colors perfect for granny squares. I hope you recover from your jet lag quicker than I did after our recent trip to Spain, took me two weeks to get my days and nights back in order :-)
