Busy Hands...



                                  I have been crocheting up a storm..
                       It's been very cold here so I decided to crochet ..
                              kinda like hibernating...


                        Been using up my yarn scraps left over from the
                                    felted knitted slippers I made my girls
                                            for Christmas....


                        Would you like to see....


                                         
                                                     This is a worsted weight yarn and If
                                                                  I make another I would
                                                                      make it in a softer yarn.

                                       

                                           This pattern is a over the shoulder shawl in the
                                                           cool summer months

                                                            or it goes over your head in the
                                                                    winter months...

                       
These headbands and neck warmers were very popular with the girls.

Started another project for my youngest grand daughter..


Trying my hand at making a mermaid blanket....
I'll post the finish probably in a few months...lol


So with all this crocheting going on
I did a little shopping and picked up a few more supplies..




So you know I'll be busy for awhile....

Oh yes I have another project to share with you 
I have been arm knitting..

I'll share with you anther day.

Take care, Stay warm!
Thanks as always for stopping by!

    Oh I love that Linda. It is really cute in the second image and certainly it comes in handy in our climate.

    Love that cowl! This is the best time of year for crocheting. I was crocheting in the car yesterday while travelling with a friend. She kept turning off the heat and I was getting chilly, so I just pulled the baby afghan over me. I also enjoy snuggling under quilts while sewing down the bindings. :-)

    You certainly have been busy. The project for your grand daughter looks interesting. And it is always nice to buy some new things.

    Hi Linda!
    Great shot of you in the awesome shawl/cowl/hoodie!
    I know what you mean about the wool...I have chosen the wrong kinds myself...softer is cosier!!
    I really like that pattern...is it a free one?
    Cheers!
    Linda :o)

    That sounds like a wonderful way to pass the time indoors while it's ugly outside. I love the items you've made so far! I've seen pictures of arm knitting before. Looks like a real workout!
