i crochet. i also knit. to quite a few people, this = old lady. my friends and i have crocheting/knitting parties where we watch movies and drink tea while practicing our craft. sounds old lady, i know, but the objects we produce are beautiful. the time we spend with each other is lovely. the gifts we give are greatly appreciated.
i just finished crocheting my first bag. quite a feat, since i usually stick to blankets and scarves which are hard to mess up. this particular rust-colored bag went to my friend kate yesterday for her birthday. pretty sure i will be making more, due to requests.
old lady? maybe. but mostly just another way for me to express my creativity.

Good job on the bag. Just ran into someone else around your age who loves to crochet.
ReplyDeleteLOVE IT!!!
ReplyDeletewhat about me? i not only like it...i NEED another bag to carry my groceries up the hill (aka home) more easily. i suppose it should be made with some sort of not-too-stretchy yarn/string/???.... wouldn't want it to completely lose it's shape.

this totally rocks!!!! i want one. can i buy one from you?? are you going to/have you already opened an etsy shop??
ReplyDeletei'm kind of coveting your talent right now ... i'm definitely too afraid/too impatient to venture beyond knitting in scarf-land.
i received the bag and i love, love, love it!!!
