GETTING BACK TO CROCHETING

CLEANING OUT THE HALL CLOSET I CAME ACROSS MY BAG OF CROCHET YARN. SO MANY COLORS, BUT MESSY.

I STARTED PUTTING MY YARN IN COLORS TO MAKE A THROW {WHICH I STARTED A WHILE AGO, AND NEVER CONTINUED.)





I LOVE THE OFF WHITE AND THE CHARCOAL GRAYS, BUT THEY SEEM THEY NEED A LITTLE BRIGHTNESS.
LAVENDER?

HARVEST YELLOW?

BURNT ORANGE?
THEN I REALIZED WHAT COLOR WOULD LOOK GREAT, IT'S THE IN COLOR THIS YEAR...I'VE BEEN TOLD.............
"TURQUOISE" I DON'T HAVE A SINGLE STRAND. SO!
I WILL WORK ON MY THROW, GO TO THE STORE AND BUY SOME TURQUOISE YARN, AND AS I WORK ON IT I WILL POST IT HERE AND THERE.

I ALSO FOUND MY DO YOUR OWN STITCH PATTERN THROW I AM MAKING. NO PATTERN, I MAKE UP EACH ROW OF STITCHES, AND COLOR AS I CROCHET, I LOVE DOING IT THAT WAY, BECAUSE IT IS MORE INTERESTING, AND NO ONE ELSE HAS A THROW LIKE THIS, IT'S ONE OF A KIND.


I LOVE CROCHETING VERY MUCH. I ONLY CROCHET WITH YARN, AND MAKE THROWS OR AFGHANS. YEARS AGO I MADE PONCHOS, PILLOWS, POT HOLDERS, ETC.
THANKS FOR STOPPING BY......RIZZI

  1. I love to crochet, too, although I haven't done it for a while. Love the colors you're using and turquoise will be the perfect pop of color.

  6. A sweet hello from Frog Hollow Farm! Yes, things seem to be working once again - I don't know what happened the other day. Your blog name had disappeared from the list of blogs that I follow and when I tried to find you I got another Gifts from the Sea site. But, things are good now - thanks for helping out. Love your crocheting - I love finding projects that I had put down and never finished. Completing them is very therapeutic. for me at least! Ciao,bella!
