Spring is coming! The warm weather still hasn’t taken a strong footing in Northern Illinois. What is constant, is that I’m still crocheting. I may not post often but crocheting is part of my daily routine. When I was looking at previous posts, I realized that I hadn’t made an accurate count of what I made last year. I know for certain that I made 12 red scarves. After that, things get fuzzy. I donated 72 hat and scarf sets, but 9 of those were from the previous year. I did make another 3 after those sets were donated. I made a few random hats – how many, I can’t say.
As we’re nearing Memorial Day 2025, I have been trying to make a better count of what I’ve made, I have completed 4 red scarves, 27 hat and scarf sets and 1 hat from leftover yarn. For the main goals I’ve surpassed a third of each. Now that summer is coming, there will be more time to crochet – Grant Park Music Fest and other outdoor events where I can sit and relax.
It still perturbs me that I didn’t make a note of what I made in 2024. For the past 15 years or more I have kept a record of what I completed and donated. Now, I need to do some sleuthing to figure out what I made. Not losing sleep over it, just curious as to what the final tally was for last year.
As for moving forward, I’ve found some new patterns that like and I’ve tried them out in yarns that I am familiar with… which is half the battle when you know how the yarn behaves.
Here are some of my favorite creations from the past few months:
