Quarantine Crochet
How are you doing? Is anyone else getting a little tired of that question? I mean... I'm not sure how I'm doing from one minute to the next. Which makes it difficult to say how I am doing just in general. But, I'm hanging in there. I hope you are too. It certainly helps to have something to keep me busy when I need to take my mind of things. And, as you can probably guess - for me, that thing is crochet.
I've been using up some of my yarn stash to work on various ready to ship items for the shop. As well as a couple of personal projects.
The first thing I decided to do was a little afghan for my grandson. The kid is always asking for a blanket when he watches tv, reads or plays video games. Even in the heat of summer. He is also a recent newcomer to the Harry Potter fandom. When he took an online quiz about which Hogwarts house you belong to, it said he is a Hufflepuff. So what could be better than a blanket in black and gold - the official Hufflepuff colors!
I was so happy with how quickly it worked up and the beautiful results that I decided to make a baby blanket which will probably be available soon in the shop. I selected one of my favorite color combos - navy blue and mint green - for this blanket.
Both blankets are based off the granny square baby blanket pattern by Daisy Cottage Designs. I have already selected some yarn to create a navy blue/light blue/white blanket and I'm thinking I would also like to create one in black/gray/white/
I've also been working on several spa bath sets and washcloth sets, which I hope to have listed later this week.
I have wanted to make up some cotton rounds in different colors for a while, and now I'm finally finding the time to do it. I've done a couple of mini sets of three rounds in blush pink which are already listed in the shop - including a new larger size! I have also created a few sets in shades of purple, as well as a set in dusty rose and I'm working on a dark teal set and a mint green set also.
I've also been working on some non-crochet projects. Such as coloring a pair of coffee prints to frame and hang over my coffee station. I've shared my progress over on my Instagram , if you'd like to take a peek.
What have you found to keep you busy during the stay at home orders?
