We got hit with snow this afternoon which added to the covering we already had on the ground from 2 days before. Children were out with their sleds, dogs had their little jackets on, and we headed to the Knitting and Stitching show here in Harrogate. It was just wonderful. I love this show more so than the Great British Quilting show. The work presented was just amazing. I have nothing to prove this to you as they do not allow pictures. My DH and I had a great time and we didn't break the bank buying any unnecessary items. I found 2 books on crocheting and a spool of invisible thread.
When I was a teen, I learned how to crochet on my own and made several useful items like afghans, slippers, scarves and such. My sister was in college and I wanted to make her something for her graduation, so I made a ripple crocheted afghan in her school's colors. I believe she still has the afghan. Now, I would like to learn more beautiful stitches for hats, scarves and even try making gloves.
With the winter months ahead, I will have plenty of time indoors to try my skills and with the new books to help me it should be a breeze, at least I hope.
