just one more post about my crochet addiction (for the moment at least). but what else do you do, when going into an op-shop and finally finding a pile of crochet hooks*!
how could i possibly leave them there? lovely metal hooks, with such a nice feel! i never never never find crochet hooks in op-shops, and i got this whole bundle for 50 cents! love love love it
so the bit not about crochet: while we were on holiday, the little church around the corner from where we were staying had a garage sale. we poured over everything, and i got a pile of wool, and a pile of books. including this one. first of all i walked past it, i mean its nothing to look at from the outside:
but flipping it open:
what's not to love about it! patterns for 70's children's toys. sewing patterns, knitting patterns, clothing patterns. can't wait to get started on them all!
*i have asked it before - but can someone please explain to me why op-shops always have an abundance of knitting needles, but there is never a crochet hook to be seen!?
hello there! and welcome to 2011!
i've been holidaying, and i think i have a confession to make. well a further admission of my addiction:
you know you're addicted to crochet when...
you only take eight photos for the whole of your holiday, and SIX of them are this:
the crocheted tablecloth at one of the places we stayed. in my defense, i liked the pattern. and by taking photos, i can probably copy it, or make something similar, or make some granny-ish squares a bit like it.
ok, there really is no defense.
how 'bout you? was your holiday filled with crocheted tablecloth photos?
i'd just like to say that i really am back. my advice though - don't unpack while jet lagged. it seems that i have unpacked my camera cord and put it away somewhere very safe. and now that i am feeling better and more awake, i can't find it anywhere.
which makes sharing crafty goodness very difficult.
so instead i'll share a few more holiday snaps (downloaded before i put the camera cord away safely) and keep looking for that cord.
it has to be here somewhere...
