Gone Too Long!

I've been away from blogging for a while...
sometimes life, work, and unfortunately even death takes it's toll.

All is much better now and I'm excited to be back!
Please don't mistake my absence as 
time away from crocheting,
as that is simply not the case. ;-).
You see, for me, crocheting is very therapeutic and carries
me through the good times and the not so good times.
Crochet is my place for love, joy, and peace.

So lets get back into this with that which is essential to crochet:

YARN!!!

And here's some fun with Stylecraft Special DK yarn:

During the holidays, I asked Little Bug to put together some color combos she likes.
Her color choices are always different than mine 
and I like the change of perspective.
I hope you can see the color names.
If not, just ask, and will let you know what they are.

I think I like this one best:
How about you?

Oh and if you think this is fun...just you wait until the next post.
It's fun x 10!

More organized yarn fun to come!!!

  1. Astri! How nice to see you again! You have made me feel guilty about finishing off that Granny Rose blanket that is just waiting patiently to be joined! Oh my, things keep getting in the way! As for the colour combos above, my favourites are: the second one with storm blue and petrol and the fifth with pale rose, petrol and parchment!

    Looking forward to seeing your yarn fun x 10!

    1. Hi Irene - thank you for the comment! I like those color combos too, I suppose I like all sorts of combinations now. It's funny how others can open you up to see something you did not see before. I am so happy that you are reading the posts. I'm hoping to hear from you again. :-)

  6. Welcome back. I know what you mean about life taking us away from our blogging world. Sometimes that simply must take a back seat. I have been incredibly busy as well. Lucky to get a post a week up!
    Hugs,
