Hello everyone, I hope you are all well. I am feeling so much better--my voice is back!! I went back to work last week and was afraid my voice would give out again, but I did just fine. Hurray!
My crafting mojo has been reinvigorated as well. I am love, love, loving crochet just now. I guess it is probably like this will all new crafts, the thrill of learning something new is just so much fun. So while my Gemini is a bit longer:

| Hexagon Market Bag by Lion Brand |
It is called Hexagon Market Bag, and it is on the Lion Brand Web Site. I thought it was cute, and once you figure out the first one, it should be cake after that. Well, it is---so much fun! I had trouble picking my colours but I'm really pleased with what I've got so far. And if you stop by here regularly you might be wondering if I have a thing about bags. Yes. Yes, I really do.
I'd type more, but instead I will go and hook for a while. I have to make the most of the sunshine, the time off work, and being with my girls. Cheers everyone!
I like the colors you picked out for your market bag! Those hexagons are so much to work up, I did a hexagon table runner and it was a lot of fun to work on and watch come together. :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun when you are reinspired to make something again? I love that feeling. Your knitting will be there when you are ready to return.
ReplyDeleteHeehee, great photos as always.
ReplyDeletehooking is a much better use of time than blogging imo :D
ReplyDeleteLove comparing your scarf to the kidlets to show progress <3
You're making me want to take up crocheting as well! That bag looks simply fantastic :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes a change is as good as a rest! But careful, grannys are addictive. Love those charming measuring girls you have. They seem to be very obliging models!

ReplyDeletei want to talk about your knitting and crochet, but your girls are just too cute, darling post!
ReplyDeleteI love how Gemini is going and the colour is gorgeous! The drop stitch scarf looks like it's going well - I don't have the patience for scarves, I've been knitting one for well over six months!
ReplyDeleteI'm itching to crochet again. Haven't crocheted anything in a while.
