Here I am!

Here I am, my own crochet blog! Such fun. At any rate, I’m Melissa, a stay-at-home mom with too many hooks. Not enough yarn, of course, but can you ever have enough yarn? I’m also easily distracted by new projects, and at the moment I have at least four unfinished projects aside from the one I’m actually working on lying around in buckets and baskets and bags. And yet, for some reason, I keep scouring the internet for interesting new patterns – which I’m sure you’ll agree there is no lack of when you have something else you should be working on…it’s only when you’re really between projects that you can’t find something to start.

So come say hi, and welcome to my own little corner of the web!

The project that never ends

-
I went shopping for new yarn about a week ago, and I decided to try something new, so I bought some worsted weight cotton yarn and this – some DMC Traditions mercerized cotton thread. I like lace, especially soft handmade lace. My mom used to tat, but I never learned how, so I decided to try crocheting some lace. Unfortunately patterns for it seem to be in short supply, and this was one of the few that I could find that I liked. (If anyone has links to nice lace patterns, be sure to let me know!)

At any rate, this is what I have finished so far. Click the picture for a better view.

Oh, and here’s the address of the pattern I’m using.
