the moment the air turns crisp and the leaves start to change colour
i make a beeline for my nearest craft store
why you ask?
because i imagine myself sitting on my couch, sipping tea,
happily crocheting away
(it's just such a fall thing... you know?)
it doesn't matter what
a scarf, a hat, another scarf, another hat
( i am a newbie crocheter, so scarfs and hats are mainly where it's at for me)
and to crochet i need pretty yarn
much to my husband's dismay, since i have a yarn collection
that is already a teeny tiny bit on the large side
luckily though, i am no means a yarn snob
so i tend to gravitate towards the acrylics or wool blends more
(much, much nicer on my bank account!)
plus the colours are much prettier!
these pretty candy colored ones joined my collection today
when i get a spare moment, i think they will be crocheted into...
yup, you guessed it a scarf!
a few days ago, i spotted this pretty yarn creation
and happily brought it home with me
it may have just ignited another form of yarn obsession

Wow, is that a blanket you found? Such gorgeous colours! I too am a novice crocheter, but I learnt how to make a granny square and i just kept going until I made a blanket! A perfect autumn project, if you ask me! Do show us what you make :)
I use to be obssessed with knitting, i should really get back into it. It's so relaxing and nice :)
