My Creative Place

My creative space this week is on my tram. I asked my son to take the shot this morning and he did a brilliant job. The light flooding through the window looks beautiful and warm which is ironic because it was freeeeezing this morning in Melbourne. The coldest day in April in 10 years!

I had to laugh when I read Kootoyoo's creative space for this week. She said she's only doing granny squaring and I have to say, I know the feeling! I am still chipping away at my granny square-cum-blanket and are really starting to see some great improvements in my tension. Lessons that I have learnt about crochet are:

• pure wools and cottons makes it easier to maintain consistant tension. They grip better within the stitch. Acrylics/synthetic blends tend to be slippery.
• I enjoy it more than knitting. Mistakes are easier to fix (I still like knitting though!)
• It's very mobile. You can crochet pretty much anywhere which really helps a time strapped fulltime working mum.
• I can't count. I can't tell you how many times I cornered with 7 trebles instead of 6. It's a little embarrassing. = P
• It's addictive.
