CALMING CROCHET

 

With the cooler weather , tiredness and lack of ability to focus on much lately I have not been stitching but I have enjoyed some relaxing crochet. Once I get going I find the rythmic motion of crocheting quite relaxing.  After crocheting a couple of ear warmers I used up the remainder of yarn to crochet a matching scarf. I prefer narrower scarves so I had just enough yarn.




I found a cushion cover pattern on the internet from Joy of Motion Crochet which is free or available to buy as a PDF . I opted to buy it instead of having to read it online. Once again, I had to convert the pattern to UK terms . Since buying my crochet bible I have found conversion easy. I started crocheting it last night with yarns I had in my stash. 



 

I plan to make the back reversing the colours ( mainly because I am low on the neutral colour ). However, I am not sure how one washes a complete cushion when it is made without being able to remove the cover. I may need to experiment to make it removable for washing.

                                Thanks for visiting.

  2. I think everyone has been a bit lacking in motivation after the year we have all had. Crochet is a lovely change of pace and is easy to pick up and put down when you feel like it! Hope you've had a lovely weekend! Christine xx

  3. Agree with the lacking motivation, it does help if you find a project to kick start it. Lovely scarf im with you on the narrow fit.

  4. I was blaming our recent move for my lack of motivation.....perhaps that is not the cause. That scarf looks very cosy and soft.
