Last night while driving home, the sun was shining, New Order was on the radio (Alt Nation on Sirius is like my college soundtrack relived) and even though the temp was in the low-eighties I could feel Fall approaching. Then my mind flicked to crochet. Something about Fall and Winter make me think of yarn crafts again. Not sure why, maybe it is the cozy factor. So when I got home and checked the mail I was quite happy to find the September/October issue of Crochet Today. I know it is really a big advertisement for Red Heart, but sometimes there are some good patterns. The cute alarm clock on the cover drew me in.
As I kept turning pages I kept saying to myself "that is so cute," "I should make that" and "I need to save that pattern for later." So what did I find?
An upcycled tee with a very cute crochet neckline. On my crafty to do list for sure.
I could really use some new cotton dish clothes to replenish my stock.
An earth-friendly grocery tote. This could make a great holiday gift.
For the person who has everything - a lacy river rock. I have seen some amazing crocheted rocks on Flickr here. This pattern is by Resurrection Fern.
A cute beret... not sure I would make it in raspberry : )
There are a few more patterns I have bookmarked, but I will end with this one for Halloween crafty disguises. I like the superhero mask.
So, does the coming of Fall change your crafty to do list? What are you working on?
Fall always inspires me to start a quilt. And by "start a quilt", I mean, "buy a bunch of fabric and a pattern, take it home and realize I will never use it because I can't sew no matter how hard I try."
Ha! I do tend to do a lot more crafting in the fall though. :)
I totally love that alarm clock. I don't understand the rocks ...
