The other day at the dog park, a retired person asked another retired person if they had hobbies. “No, not really” the latter answered, saying that they had worked so much, that adopting a hobby now felt like more work. A hobby-less life seems gloomy to me and I am forever grateful to my aunt who showed me how to crochet some 17 years ago. Like her, I usually crochet while watching tv, but lately, crochet has also come in handy during social Zoom calls.
This is a two-sided blanket made from wool. The puppy chewed a hole in it, and it required some repairing.
On the left is a circle-scarf, made using a free pattern from All About Ami. On the right is a scarf I made using a basket-weave type stitch.
These are blankets for the boys’ bedroom, made in their favourite colours, during Covid-19. It was something to do when school-at-home required availability and denied me concentration for anything else.
