Crochet & RSI

Why do we do it?? We know we should listen to our bodies....but no... we keep on going.


Yesterday I decided to crochet a dishcloth with some cotton I got at a very fine price at the Peachester quilt show.  Just wanted to finish it in one day!  Tonight I am paying the price.  Have rubbed some ointment into my arm and now sitting with a hot pack on it.  Looks like I will be taking a rest over the next little time with the crochet and hand quilting!!     
                       

 Here is the culprit - the funkiest dishcloth ever.  A little rough around the edges but my crochet is a little rusty. 


Here is our little granddaughter with her great Papa.

Crochet revisited

It is the first day of winter and the weather is indeed wintry today. The sun is out, but there is a wind chill factor happening! The current temperature in our fair city is 15 Deg C.

This past week I have dragged out my wool and crochet hooks to make a jacket for our little granddaughter. The last time I made this pattern was in about 1983 before the birth of our second daughter. I made a blue one as I was convinced we were having a boy! She still looked very cute in it anyway. These crochet jackets are so cuddly and quick and easy to make.
Just the buttons to sew on now.

This is what I keep my crochet hooks and bodkins in. A toothbrush/toothpaste holder. It is ideal for storage and I always know where my hooks are.

Next crochet project will be another rag rug like this.
