Inspirational Colorwork in Crochet

Striped Crochet Bag from Attic 24

If this bag doesn’t inspire you to get crocheting, I don’t know what will! Lucy at Attic 24 has done a beautiful job selecting the colors for this bag and she has written up the instructions and posted them on her website. I started to make one of my own, but I didn’t do nearly as good a job choosing the colors. I think I am going to rip it out and start over. I won’t even post the picture. It’s embarrassing.

Jar Jackets

Pot Cover

After I abandoned the bag (for now), I started working on a cozy inspired by Lucy’s Jar Jackets. This cozy is for the plant the church sent us after David’s mom died. The colors aren’t exactly true in the picture. Most of them are fairly accurate, but the ball of yarn is actually a deep purple, not blue. When I’m done with it, I’ll try taking a picture during the day when we have better lighting.

I won my first giveaway today! I entered this month’s EART (Eclectic ARtisans Team) giveaway. The EART giveaway is actually a collection of giveaways by various members of the EART team. You can learn more about EART on the EART blog.

I won the giveaway held by Wee Woobies, and the prize was my choice of any item from the Wee Woobies Etsy shop. I chose the Island Girl Blockhead. I think she is just beautiful! Wee Woobies has some really neat items in her Etsy store. Here are a few I especially like:
