My step-Mom taught me to crochet as a teenager but I haven't done much since then. But what a wonderful array of fibers and color-changing yarns they have in the stores now.
And, I'm experimenting making necklaces with these beautiful yarns.
My husband suggested making place mats for the table, and I'm loving the results.
There is something soothing and calming about crocheting. I love the tactile qualities of handling the yarns. I've only used a few simple patterns for the scarves, both regular and infinity types. For the necklaces and place mats, I'm experimenting by just single crocheting until I get a length and width I need.
The upcoming move of our whole department from our work area, going from a main floor space with windows and relocating to the basement with only perimeter skylights, has been stressful. For several months, I have pondered how to bring light and color to the new area. I thought about crocheting a small tapestry--either circular or rectangular--and draping it over some of my furniture. Right now, I am working on something smaller, making coasters in gorgeous colors.
