We've just been on holiday to the south coast. This gave my hubby a chance to windsurf and me and Lil Taf to catch up with my beloved auntie who lives there. She is the one who taught me to crochet lace. I'd forgotten just how much fun she is. She has also given up crochet as she is too busy, so she has given me heaps of crochet cotton. About 150 balls of the stuff. So now I have to find somewhere to keep it all. My husband thinks I should put the craft I'm not working on at the moment in the loft. Should I remind him of the bead loom, the lacemaking pillow, the cross-stitch kits, the candlemaking equipment etc that already live there? No, I'll just make room under the bed. He doesn't understand that I'm always working on all my crafts, it's just that sometimes I'm working on them in my head!!
I did manage to crochet a pig and make a kumihimo braid whilst I was on holiday. Also started another doily. Is there anyone out there who would like a nice hand crocheted doily??
I only found out recently that doilies are basically softer, prettier coasters!
ReplyDeleteThey're also very old fashioned. Can I crochet you one? It's very unlikely that I'll be over to your house any time soon, so you can hide it in a drawer.
