Well what an exciting week this has been. After sending out my monthly newsletter last week, I received an email from Mary Beth Temple of www.gettingloopy.com asking if I would like to be on her radio show Monday night. I was thrilled. I wasn't sure if I could talk for 45 minutes about crocheting, but it turns out it was pretty easy. Coupled with the people chatting on-line during the broadcast, I found it quite fascinating. The broadcast, I hope is posted in the sidebar of this blog. If not it is available on my website.Barring that, it's also been a frustrating week. How many times have you been without a crochet project, started one with yarn you had on hand figuring you'll pick more up the next time your out - only to find out, you can't find the yarn anywhere? Well I normally make it a rule not to do this. Guess what? I did it. Now, I've got the bottom 12 inches of "my little black dress" crocheted and can't find more black yarn. I need that dress for the 24th of this month for a big event I'm attending. I have searched store after store. I can find the same yarn in every colour but black. My little black dress might just end up a little black and red dress. What do you think?
Above is one of my latest projects. A centrepiece that holds a plant. What can I say? I was between projects and just started crocheting with scrap yarn. The centrepiece is what it ended up. I had no idea what it would be when I started. I was just crocheting in circles and ruffles. It is unique, if I do say so myself.
In the meantime, while I'm searching for the black yarn. I've started yet another saddle blanket to be felted. It's done in shells and should be quite interesting once complete. Hopefully I find that black yarn soon. Time is running out until the 24th. I crochet fast, but not that fast, especially given all my other responsibilities here on the farm.
And with that, I'm off for another week to see what I can finish before next week's blog.
