Heading into Winter

Now that there's a bit of a bite to the air, doesn't this look cozy?  I love making useful things out of scrap yarn, and this looks like a perfect way to use it.

This one is for the crocheters (from Lion Brand Yarn).

A very fast one for knitters done on size 50 needles.

Personally, as a crocheter, I would use size 50 needles to make broomstick lace. 



This is easier than it looks.  You can find tutorials on various websites and blogs or on Youtube.  If you have an interest in learning to do this particular technique, please bring yarn, a J or K crochet hook, and a size 50 knitting needle - you only need one needle - to the Knit and Crochet Night meetings on the second and fourth Thursday of the month at 6:30.  I will be happy to show you.

Happy crafting.
