Crocheting...



Frogged all my knitting, I'm stuck for the moment on my weaving, so last night I picked up a crochet hook and a couple patterns I had printed off the net and made bookmarks. The two crosses are from a pattern my grandmother used to make.
The other two are net patterns. I had a couple ball so of thread plied with a metallic at hand, so they are the ones that got used.
I printed a free pattern from Annie's Attic for a vest with the pineapple pattern. I like pineapples. Hers is in thread, but also a small size. I think if I use yarn, I can make it fit me. Maybe. But I have to finish this weaving first. And the sweater I've been working on most of the winter as well. But I think I should be up in the loom shop this morning. ;0)

Home again


We're back from our trip around the North West. Got into Oregon, Idaho, and Washington. This country has some really beautiful country and we totally enjoyed the trip and want to go again. Here's Randy watching the train go by and studying the rock formations across the Colombia Gorge. We just watches a tug push two barges though the watergate at the John Day dam. That was pretty neat, too. Check my other blog for a picture of Crater Lake, that's a beauty worth the visit if you get the chance!

But we're home again for awhile. We stopped at the nursery in Medford on the way back so I guess I'd better be doing some yard work this week!

Happy Easter!
