Crocheting, Another Finish

                             




                           If you can hold a pencil 
                     you can learn how to 
                           CROCHET!!   


                     INTERESTING!!


I have been crocheting off and on for the last 25 years...

In the last 6 months I have crocheted more..........

I fell in love with gray throws (afghans) when they

started appearing in magazines...............

Pottery Barn, Anthropology........to name a few.......

Now I was not about to go out and spend hefty$$$$$$

so off to the big box store and gather some wool.

I found these super big balls in every colour......

So I picked up gray, veregated gray, red, blue, off white.....

for a low price of $14.99 a giant ball.   

This is where it all began...........


Crocheting a very easy,peasy pattern ..............

chain (ch) double crochet (dc)  even for a beginner...... 

First came this veregated gray one.........






Then this red one........

Then blue.....



next gray.......









then it was Granny Squares...........

I haven't made granny squares in years..........


so I started out small...............


making this pillow................


Couldn't stop there.....................


Finished this red and white one............





If you look closely you will see the middle looks like a flower.


Now I'm working on this one...........






Making not one but two pillows..............

Do you see a where I'm going with this???

A pillow for each daughter to match their AFGHANS!                                

The other day while I was in the big box store....

I saw these luscious colours and they came home with me..



Now the question is what am I going to create?????


I hope you will give crocheting a try!!!


                       Thanks for Visiting!

             As always I love hearing from you!
