Ok. So this is where my crochet-head is at:
1. The Beret. Ah yes. It is finished, but needs to be ripped back and re-done. But (said in a bold-child-voice:) I don’t want to! And, it is lost. Still. (An outer sign of my inner crochet-turmoil)
2. The Bunny. Also gone the way of the beret. i.e. lost. Well, more than likely in some elaborate doll-game in some little girls doll-house. When I have the time and energy, I will excavate and find it. It is finished though, and I have started another, which is going very slowly as I’m trying to work out how I made it initially, and to jot down the pattern so you can try them (very cute, very simple and very quick)
3. The crochet necklace. I have been thinking about these for a while. And when a friend and I decided to do a craft swop, I thought this would be perfect (and easy to post too)
It needs to be blocked and for a (beautiful, vintage) button to be sewn on the back as a closure. It is made with beautiful variegated yarn- looks like wool, but isn’t (and more importantly doesn’t feel like scratchy wool)
I am reading several books, two of them are: “The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari” (Robin Sharma) ~ It isn’t beautifully written, but I am hoping the message will be as “extraordinary” as the cover promises!!
“A Garlic Testament” (Stanley Crawford) ~ I’ve only started and it is really interesting so far, and satisfies the Spring-Garden energy in our house.
So what is everyone else crafting/reading? Hop along to Ginny and Yarn Along to check it out!
I often have projects that end up being lost causes, too. Sorry.
I love your necklace.
is something really lost if it is in the midst of make-believe land?
the necklace is beautiful. – I suppose you made that without a pattern too, huh? (yeah, that was said with a small bit of snark-envy creaping in!)
If you do have a pattern= would you share? That is stunning and I would love to be able to make one….

Love the crochet necklace Emily, would be lovely to see it on, too. Beautiful colours! x M
P.S. Delighted to get your message a while back, and to know that a fellow blogger is only over the mountain : )
oh my gosh emily! i love your necklace, will you show it blocked and with the button, maybe even wearing it? i’d love to see it, its so pretty!
Love that crochet necklace. I’m crocheting up necklaces a few for the Mothers Day stall at the girls school, but there aint none of them as pretty as that one! I’d love to see a pattern if you ever feel like writing it! I reckon it would go well on Ravelry.
I love the crochet necklace!
