Over the years I have admired, but not truly appreciated work put into beautifully crocheted items. My great-grandmother's countless items, grandma's, mom's, and my sister's blankets and now pillow. Most recently A's sister gave me two scarfs she made. I received compliments on them all winter long. A couple of weeks ago I was in a craft/fabric store looking for something completely different when the yarn below caught my eye. The pretty colors have a summer feel to it. Although it was a 90 degree day, all I could think of was how this yarn would look if made into a scarf.
Aside from the running, cycling, reading, and other interests, I have never created a handmade item I could actually wear. Both my mom and sister spent a few nights showing me how to crochet more times than I would like to admit. I think I have the hang of it now and I am rather excited to see the progress I'm making. I think I found something I can do while watching television or chatting with friends. I think this will look great on the first cool evening this fall. - P
