Crochet Update

As far as therapy goes I find crochet cheap and effective and doesn't interfere with watching recorded episodes of Mad Men, The Good Wife or House.


I'm crocheting a knee rug with a recession theme - using whatever leftover yarn I have to hand. I was toying with this pink yarn next but now I see it in the photograph I'm thinking it is a bad idea. Perhaps I'll go with the cream yarn next.

Sooner or later the pink yarn, will however, need to be used.

Normally I crochet in regularly-sized rows. This time I've decided just to crochet up the remainder of each ball of yarn - whatever size it is.

Very subdued colours, and it will be very warm and snug.
Winter is coming, then, do you think?

I also like to crochet when the telly's on — unless we watch the Inspector Montalbano movies and then then I have to keep an eye on the subtitles!

It looks very nice despite it's humble recession origins!

I once crocheted from Edinburgh to Anglesey non-stop but that was the sheer boredom of a 10-yr-old in the back of a car for several hundred miles and the love of my then new-found activity of crochet!

I'd be really interested to hear what you think of "Wolf Hall".

How nice. Ready in time for winter I'm sure! Love the 'recession' theme. Must learn to crochet. Just the sight of all that lovely yarn makes me unwind a little.

You already know what I think about crochet.

Very nice. And I like the different sized rows, works really well with the zig-zag.
