Spring is coming! The warm weather still hasn\u2019t taken a strong footing in Northern Illinois.\u00a0 What is constant, is that I\u2019m 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\u2019t 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\u2019t say.<\/p>\n

As we\u2019re nearing Memorial Day 2025, I have been trying to make a better count of what I\u2019ve made, I have completed 4 red scarves, 27 hat and scarf sets and 1 hat from leftover yarn. For the main goals I\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\n

It still perturbs me that I didn\u2019t 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.<\/p>\n

As for moving forward, I\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\n

Here are some of my favorite creations from the past few months:<\/p>\n
