Hobby: crocheters

I've got about 4 lap quilts going on, and a peach shawl. What are you working on this week? Miss visiting with the Senior Center ladies who knit and crochet. We still don't have a time we can return yet. So, still at home doing my stuff.

I knit and I have 3 lap robes and/or baby blankets going. Just got some more yarn from Joann. I belong to 2 church knitting groups and neither has scheduled any meetings. But knitting is one of the things that has kept me sane this past year--LOL!!!

I'm working on a prayer shawl and some crocheted succulents for my Doctor who is moving on to bigger things.

Knitting a baby blanket just to stay busy. Easy pattern so mindless knitting, almost. No babies expected so I will donate it somewhere. I have yarn for a few more.

Also started a jigsaw puzzle yesterday.

I crochet in spurts--a few months on, a few months off. So I almost always have multiple things going on. My sister made me a lovely quilt, and I'm creating a throw that "matches" it--as much as crocheted squares can match fabric ones. I'm about 2/3 done, and it sits in a basket on my bed in pieces, day after day. I'm making a shawl for a friend that's mostly done. I've got a lot of experiments going with, I guess you'd call it crocheted jewelry. And do I have yarn? Heaven save me from buying more!

It has been about 25 years since I crocheted or knitted. This was the last piece of work I did...an afghan that covers a queen-size bed.

I then started working on counted cross stitch/needlepoint for awhile and then stopped that about 10 years ago.

My main hobbies now are gardening/birding & reading...

Enjoy all your projects ladies

I took up simple knitting as a stress reliever during COVID. I have only made scarves and cowls so far but I plan on trying my hand at a hat.

There are such good YouTube videos on knitting and probably crocheting.

I can't knit. I can crochet, but not real well. I just taught myself and can follow patterns that aren't too hard.

My thing is counted X stitch. Have soooooo many scenes done. Been doing it for about 30 years. I do landscapes mostly. Working on a victorian home scene right now. I did a huge Italian (my heritage) outdoor street scene that my kids had framed for me. Just love it.

It's been a long year!! Sure hope this virus is coming to an end, but not holding my breath. I have both my shots.

Haven't been crocheting for years now, but the last things I did was crocheting around the pillow case edges. Since I didn't know too much about it, I just did the few stitches I could come up with. I still have them. No Internet available, that's how long ago it was :-)
