The color of red, whatever shade it is, comes from deep within…from deep within it allows one to express thoughts from that inner chamber called the soul…sincere warmth that matches no other! Whew! Inspiration this early in the morning is refreshing…now let me sit down and get started on my crochet project…mittens! And guess what? They will be red…merino!!!

Christmas ornaments (one of my most favourite things to crochet) I like to use them instead of bows on Christmas gifts and also try to ensure each recipient gets a set of 2 or 4 ornaments so they too can hang them up and remember the good times shared with family and close friends. Next up though will be a carry bag for my wee dog. She is only 4 1/2 lbs and doesn’t like cold.

I have just completed the Shamrock Lace sweater featured in Crochet!. It is so pretty and I am so proud of myself for sticking with it even when I was so stumped. I would put it aside, work on something else all the while thinking about it and then I would get that EUREKA MOMENT when I could see it and then pick it up and stitch away. It took me months to complete and well, it’s not perfect, the left front hanging shamrock trim is a bit longer than the right, but I don’t care I made it all by myself and am so proud of it.
I have all the “Red Books” I love the patterns and the recipes. I could see me using this yarn for several different patterns.
