Fall Festival


So recently I decided to host a small motivational activity with my local crochet and knit group. The idea of course is to help motivate individuals to create more handmade items and it will also spur creativity for all. I have 4 entries so far. (Including my own). Let me tell you, they are magnificent. I am so proud of all the ladies (we unfortunately don't have any men currently active in the group). They have really come far. So I wanted to share a picture of the first entry. I am also creating a calendar that will be copied for everyone with winning items featured. It will be a blast.


The first item was made by my friend Marilyn. It is a gorgeous shawl that she made for herself with what she calls "Tuesday Morning" yarn. She will probably wear it with Jeans and a blue shirt but it has already been a lovely accessory for some dressier pieces as well.


Kudos to Marilyn and all you other Chains and Purls, "Pick up your hooks and needles".
