Last night, my Mum in Law, Chris, taught me how to crochet. I had intended to learn knitting before this winter was out, and while there is still time to learn that art, I am all about the hook at the moment!
Once she got me going, my cup of tea went cold, but my hands stayed warm. I could have sat on the big sofa all night, in front of the fire, Pippa, the little dog, curled beside me and my hands working away at this ever growing disc of cream coloured wool, materialising in my hand.
I got home and did some more, then I got on the train this morning and did more again! Then lunch time, I went and bought a cuppa at the cafe downstairs from work, and sat in the sun and crocheted some more! I am addicted! I love it! I am not quite sure what I am making, it is looking more like a beanie with every treble I do, althought I had hoped for more of a beret! But the world is my oyster!
I can't wait to be 70!
