Stash Increase

Took a trip to Columbia yesterday to True Blue Fiber Friends. With a Mother’s Day Gift Certificate that daughter Gloria gave me. And it was burning a whole in my pocket.

Yep, I’ve added to my Yarn Stash. It’s Fiesta yarn 100% Merino Wool.The blues to violets is named Australia, the browns to golds is Sedona and the pinks to golds is Tequila Sunrise.

Brought home enough of each to make a pair of sox and enough of the Sedona and Tequila Sunrise for a lovely scarf to match the sox.

Lucy-Style Crocheted Bag

Here it is ! ! ! !

It's a Lucy-Style Crocheted Bag ! ! ! ! !

It's been a very long time since I picked up a crochet hook and made anything. Have been too busy knitting one pair of sox after another.

It's been a very long time since I picked up a crochet hook and made anything.

I've been having so much fun knitting sox - one pair right after another.

However, after one look at Lucy's blog - ATTIC24 http://attic24.typepad.com

I could not resist the temptation. Had to go shopping for yarn.

So off I went. Came home with a dozen or so skeins of joyful-colored yarn.

My new stash has already made it's debut on an earlier post.

I dug out my hooks and went online to Lucy's Crocheted Bag tutorial.

In no time at all I had this wonderful Crocheted Bag.

Don't you love it??

Lucy even has instructions for those cute flowers and leaves.
