The drop in temperatures means it’s a perfect time to whip out the yarn and crochet hooks (or knitting needles) and get to making beautiful and useful things. Check out these cute two-color slipper socks I recently completed – perfect for pattering around the house for kids who don’t like bulky slippers. I’m really quite proud of them.
And while I’m on the roll, here’s the start of another project – a circular white round poncho. I haven’t crocheted in a while, and it’s a true joy to get back to it. All I need is to get started with a project and make sure I always have it in my bag for those quiet spells I’m out and about and have a few spare minutes waiting in line or sitting on a bench in the park while my kids play.
Patterns used: Bev’s Very Easy Booties, enlarged to a size that would fit older kids.
Bea Poncho – I love lacy patterns like this, and it’s really easy and fun to work.

Mmmm! I LOVE that poncho! I’ve been trying to learn to crochet – you and I have been down this road before! -but I’m not having much luck. Being both lefthanded and late to this game it’s pretty much a lost cause. I’m happy making shawls, baby caps, and dialysis sleeves. Useful projects, easy, and the latter two are fast.

My eldest daughter is lefthanded as well, and teaching her to crochet is a challenge because of this. I admire her tenacity.

At least she’s coming at it young. I’m in my mid-70s, and I can almost hear my muscles saying “You talkin’ to ME?” when I try to do something new.
