The weather has been so cold and wet that attempting a walk on crutches outdoors seems unwise, so in between wearing a track in my carpet doing laps of the living room, I have been trying to fill the time with crafty stuff. I am trying not to buy more yarn just yet, as I have a fair bit left from other projects or random purchases, so I have made a couple of pairs of socks and am playing with a two-tone crochet pattern...
I don't usually go for just two colours but am quite enjoying the rhythm of this double/half treble pattern, which carries the colour not in use across as you crochet which seems to have two effects - it is making a nice squishy fabric and no ends to sew in - yay! I think this is heading to be a cushion but haven't quite decided yet.
Never one for just one thing on the go at a time (I get bored very quickly!), I have almost finished another pair of socks...
I love knitted socks - they last better and are warmer than any I have ever bought - but I have ended up with lots of left over bits...
...so I have been trying to decide what to do with them all. I could do more socks and mix and match but I'm a bit done with knitting for a bit I think, so have been playing with crochet ideas. Its much finer than I usually crochet with so it may try my patience but for now I'm going to make a few little squares and see how I feel.
I'm quite liking this little off centre square - can't quite decide how they will look together but will see how it looks when I've made a few!
Work in progress!
