Week 29 (09-17-14): Celebrate the First Day of Fall (Sept 22) crocheting some leaves, or by using Fall colors in a project..
The pansy pattern is Pretty Pansies
by Terry Kimbrough
from Leisure Arts #100318, Afghans for All Seasons, Book 1.
The pansy leaf pattern is free and can be found here: Pansy Leaf - Crocheted Leaf Pattern. I modified it just a bit so the tips would come to a slight point. (Click the pic for my notes on what I did).
As for the music part of the challenge:
I don't listen to audio books when I crochet. I'd be too distracted with audio books, following the story, so I watch old movies on TV instead. The only time I crochet to music is when riding in the car.
In trying to decide what music to listen to, I saw a post by Kathryn from Crochet Concupiscence discussing "crochet music" on her blog. You could knock me over with a feather - oh my gosh, who knew there were songs that had crochet in them!
So instead of just listening to music as I crocheted, I listened to music about crochet while I crocheted!
Please go and listen and watch the music videos! Absolutely fascinating. Warning: put your "music judgement" on the back burner and understand that while you may not like punk or some of the other genres, that this is a modern history lesson on crochet in songs!
Listen to the music and watch the music videos: Songs About Crochet and Other Music for Crafting
Be sure to stop and watch the music videos. I'll never look at a thrift shop the same again!
Until next time!
