Crocheting and a little Stitching

Hi Blogger Friends.  I would like to thank all of you for visiting my blog and leaving such awesome comments.  I really enjoy reading them and they are truly appreciated.  (I did want to mention that I am still leaving comments on your blogs but your not getting an email from me.)  As the title says, I have been doing a lot of crocheting and very little stitching.  It seems like every summer I get in a stitching slump.

Australia by Clouds Factory

Pretty Little London by Satsuma Street.  I did the blue on the ferris wheel.

Cinderella's Castle - I did make some good progress on this one in 3 days.
7-31-15

6-30-15

Tama had asked to see some of my variegated yarn.  This is 30 different colors.  I have about 80 more.  (I have been collecting yarn since 1972 when I taught myself to crochet.)

These are squares for 2 afghans.  I only need to make 219 more.

These will become squares for 2 more afghans.  I only need 170 more.  (Circle 1, 2 and 4 on the bottom row are from yarn bought in the 70's.)

These are squares for 4 more afghans.  I need 24 more top squares, 7 more of the one on the left and 109 of the one on the right.  See those little tiny squares on the bottom - I only need 394 more of those.
I only have 2 afghans left to start.

Thanks for looking.  Back to crocheting.   Linda

Great collection!! I was born in 1976 and you have been collecting before that. Considering your stitching and crochet stash, I guess you might be having a huge room full of it. How easily you can blend the 3 digit numbers with the word 'only' :)
What yarn and hook size do you use frequently ? Do you like thread crochet as well?

Enjoy your crocheting :o)

We are working on the same part of London! The Ferris wheel is actually the London Eye, it's a newish landmark and a bit bigger than your average Ferris wheel.

Ooooooh my goodness, those make me DROOL!!!

I love those variegated colors SO much...!
I love your cross stitch projects, too - you choose the cutest things to stitch :D
I've got one afghan somewhere with about half the motifs done - a flower garden style, maybe? You make me want to get it out!!!

That is quite a long time collecting yarn! LOL.

Lots of pretty colors I see. Your stitching progress is great for being in a slump. I can't wait to see more of Cinderella's castle.

Brigitte said...

Very nice stitching progress. And look at all that lovely crocheting yarn. These afghans will be gorgeous, so colourful. I hope you will show a picture.

Variegated yarn really is awesome and your collection is impressive! One of those circles totally looks like Banana Berry! Even with all the pink, circle #2 on the bottom row makes a beautiful stitch.
