AND it is 2020!

Well!!  I can't believe that it is already February 2020.  It does make sense because time flies and stands still for no one.  That includes me.  A lot went on personally for me in the last 18 months or so.  Some good.  Some not so good.  And through it all there was a bit of crochet.

Most of "the bit" were my yarn friends, network and colleagues that supported me.  Even when I showed up and just sat holding a bag of hooks and yarn in my hand.  Not doing much crocheting, or none at all.  Gotta love my yarn-buds!

18 months ago I started out actually doing socks!  LOL!  I was determined to fix some and complete a couple from a pattern.

I finished a blanket pattern, I'd been interested in for a while.  I still LOVE, LOVE, LOVE cables.  I'm so glad they became a "thing" a few years ago for crochet.



And I just winged-it for an idea that had been playing around in my head for awhile.  And now it is a warm wrap for a nice cold winter. 😏  [Maybe next year]

I ended a crochet club and still have a stack of blocks to sew together! LOL.  I will miss the friends I made.

I was able to WEAR all of the things that I've completed through the years.  The shawls in the summer air conditioning.  The ponchos, scarves, fingerless gloves, socks and sweaters through this incredibly warm winter.

I was able to make a shawl for a cousin that goes to dialysis.  And I was finally able to complete a tunisian crochet shawl pattern that eluded me for awhile.



And I finished out 2019, quickly making poinsettia pins and hats for my husband and son.

I feel like I didn't crochet much in the last 18 months.  I spent most of my time training and studying and driving and networking and conferencing and meeting and praying and praying.

However, I'm happy to report that crocheting is still in my heart and threaded through my DNA.  It is my comforting habit that got me through rough times.  And it is my satisfaction in uncertain times.  

Yarnie and Hooker for Life!  I'm looking forward to an awesome 2020!
