Crochet Day

Today was a crochet day! It began with a visit to the Dr. while waiting in the exam room I started on a new doily. When the Dr. came in, she complimented the doily & the scarf I was wearing and asked a lot of questions.
After that I browsed at Joann's Fabric while getting a prescription filled. I was immediately drawn to a ball of soft yarn that was the color of a creamsicle. It was Bellezza Dolcetto, and is a wool/nylon/cotton blend. It's unbelievably soft! I am allergic to wool, and can't wear wool/nylon blends especially, but I'm thinking of trying a small project in this yarn. But I'm thinking that with approximately 130 yards per ball, it would take a lot to make anything substantial, like a baby afghan. It would make some comfy booties! "Bellezza Dolcetto"
After lunch I went to the library for the weekly crochet lesson. My stuents are a co-worker and her pre-teen daughter. Today they thought they'd like to learn some Tunisian, as my friend wants to make a Prayer Shawl like the one I'm currently working. I'm using Homespun in the Barrington color, which is purple with some jade/teal specks. Check out the beautiful Homespun colors at the Lion Brand website "Lion Brand Homespun"
A little girl came over and asked us what we were making, and a gentleman asked if we were learning anything.
After that I went out to Border's to get together with a fellow crocheter I met through the Crochet Partners list. She was working on a gorgeous Valentine's Day doily from a Leisure Arts booklet Holiday Table Toppers. Check it out at Purple Kitty "Holiday Table Toppers"
I worked on the doily I started in the morning. We drank coffee and talked for 3 hours.
A full day of crocheting in public!
