Help I'm a Ripple Addict

I've started another ripple. This one is for our living room. I'm using Red Heart super savers in gold, carrot, buff, claret,& med. thyme, with an I hook. I'm using Lucy's pattern. http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/neat-ripple-pattern.html & it's 11 chevrons across.

My First Lucy Bag

I've mentioned the lovely Lucy of Attic24 before, for her wristie, snowflake, hexagon & ripple patterns. She also has a great pattern for a crochet bag. I changed a few things but used hers as a starting place. Her bag is here. http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/crochet-bag.html

I used Suger & cream cotton, & a G hook. The whole bag is done in hdc, even the straps(3 rows each). I hope to line it soon. Here are my pics of the process.

Getting started.

Almost done with the bottom.

Almost there.

All done.

Here it is fulfilling it's purpose.

With just a little peak of my latest ripple. I'll try to post some progress pics of that soon.

Visit the Attic!

I found this lovely blog a few weeks ago. I've had so much fun stopping in to visit Lucy at Attic 24. I absolutely adore her whimsical style & cheery outlook. Every post is like a wonderful get together of friends. http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/
She is a very talented & inspiring crocheter. There is even a flickr account for people to post their projects inspired by her. http://www.flickr.com/groups/attic24inspired/ I'm gonna give her hexagon granny a try. http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/hexagon-howto.html

Reading through her blog is encouraging me to try to put a bit more of myself into my blog. So here are a few random things about me.

*My favorite drink is chai tea. I'm addicted.
*I'm claustaphobic.
*Fall is my favorite time of year. I love the smell of dry leaves.
*I've been married to my best friend for over 14yrs. He still makes me laugh harder than anyone else.
