Fabric is so sensory to me. I love the crisp smell of it, the colours entrance me, the feel just makes me imagine it in a completed quilt or garment.
When I purchase it, often-times it gets folded and kept in a drawer until I (eventually) get to using it in a project.
I like this idea from Torie Jayne of using hanging baskets to display the fabric to keep me inspired.
How do you store and get inspired by your fabric?
Elizabeth is a children's book author and designer of knit and crochet character hats under the brand The Ruthless Crafter. In her spare time she loves to read, watch movies, spend time with her family, and swim. She lives a full, happy life in Kitchener, Ontario with her husband and their two children.
I was wanting to play with adding different colours in my knitting. I also got interested in making hats on my circular needles. This is what I came up – an adult hat with gold and deep green acrylic yarn.
I am participating in The Crochet Crowd’s Stitch-cation Summer Crochet Challenge. Here are my first blocks using the “popcorn” stitch. In addition to learning new stitches for the blocks we are being challenged to use at least 8 different colours. I will make an afghan with all the blocks in this challenge.
Who says Thanksgiving has to be serious? This crochet roast turkey with vegetables crochet hat pattern is the perfect piece to don at the table.
