What are YOU working on to pass the time?

How can they be crocheted? I have made some knitted ones but an intrigued by the fact that I may be able to use my crochet hook instead, and with this tendonitis in my shoulder that may be an easier option!

I found the video on YouTube. Here's the link:

Friday I got the 3 balls of mesh I ordered from Jo-Ann Fabrics on-line...black and white, shades of red, shades of blue. I may try crocheting one of them.
Good luck!

Would love to hear you play!!! Imagine all that practice will keep your fingers nimble!!!

I've posted a few videos on YouTube of my playing.
Here's one I did with my keyboard for Christmas.

And here I am playing organ at my church during Holy Week a few years ago. Sound quality is bad on this one, because it was recorded with my old digital camera.

I agree about piano making fingers nimble. Same with typing.

Thanks for posting, very nice pieces, I just love listening to piano playing, one of my son has a talent for piano playing, but unfortunately he doesn't play enough between work and 2 kids it is understandable!

I have been crocheting for years but can only do the most basic of knitting. However I knit several of those great ruffled scarves for folks this winter and am actually working on another one right now. LOVE them!

Did you know they can be made by crocheting also?

I did try to crochet them at first but had a terrible time trying to see the top of the stitches to crochet into.

So, it seems most of us are breezing through this first clue. What are you working on until the next clue comes out? I cannot sit still at night, so I have to be working on something. These are my two WIPs:

an Entrelac blanket for my new niece due in April:

a granny square blanket for one of my extra daughters. Have 63 of these to piece together. I'm staring that process tonight:

How about everyone else?

Love Love Love the entrelac blanket! Is there a freebie pattern lurking somewhere online?

Patty,

I used the video CAL from Beth Ham (bethintx1) on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8F0061A863F4F4D1

She does an awesome job of showing step by step.

Finally got around to taking pictures. This is what I have been doing when I wasn't CAL-ing. I like having a project going that I call a 'no-brainer'. The afghan has two pattern rows and when you learn them you never have to look at the pattern again. It is a ripple/open fan design. It is done in Red Heart Buff Fleck and the contrast striping in Golden Brown, Black and regular Buff. The stripes will repeat three time. I feel like I am corcheting the desert whe I work on it.

So nice!!! It's colors will go with almost anything.

March 2, I started knitting & crocheting again after a 30 or so year absence.

The past week, I've been making toys, without patterns. So far, the maroon dog, the pink piggy, & girl doll with blond braids worked, but the frogs & puppet did not. I am combining crocheting & knitting. Before that, I made a sleeveless sweater using a circular knitting needle for the first time, and made a matching vest with a crocheted body & knitted hood, and a bunch of knitted scarves & 1 crocheted scarf with a fringe. (I bought 10 lbs of yarn.)

I checked 7 books out from the local library for ideas & am also watching you tube to see what people do.

Looking forward to seeing what all of you here are doing, & have enjoyed this thread.

Welcome back to the knit/crochet community!
Things sure have changed, haven't they?

I have finished several croched eggs for our great nephew for Easter. This is the pattern I found on the Michael's craft website--they are quick and easy to make.
