Crochet scarf

Start your work with 7 chain stitches and follow the chart. Please use 2 strands of yarn to work this pattern

. 

Symbols on the chart: black dots show chain stitches, big ‘O’ represent puff stitch and crossed “nails” show dc stitches. Repeat from row 5 to row 8 as many times as you need to reach the widest part of the scarf.

Start decreasing according to the chart 2 until you will have 7 dc left.

The scarf is finished.

For the edging,  make 2 rows of sc around the scarf or 1 row of sc and 1 row of crab stitch.

Crochet

Many years ago I started crocheting At that time I crocheted without goal and when I finally knew what it should be I pottered further without a plan. That was a lot of fun, I have crocheted for hours and it relaxed me immensely. 

Today I crochet new things but I have a goal and pen and paper beside me to take notes. Thus many patterns have been created. The creative process to design something new and to document the whole, transfer it to the computer is always exciting. 

Working with sewing thread was strenuous to eyes but the results were worth it

Crochet carpet

Just a quick catch up, halfway through June already: after taking a pause from blogging I was ironically forced to stand back from most of my creative endeavors

A positive is that this enforced ‘time out’ has made me recognize how important creative activity is to me and I think in time it will renew my enthusiasm. right now working on the crochet carpet as gift for my sister-in-law who am visiting in July. am posting as i know she’s one who is not on social media so my surprise for her won’t be ruined

 

Emptiness is necessary.

The yin to the yang.

Thirty spokes share the wheel’s hub;
It is the centre hole that makes it useful.
Shape clay into a vessel;
It is the space within that makes it useful.
Cut doors and windows for a room;
It is the holes which make it useful.
Therefore profit comes from what is there;
Usefulness from what is not there..”Tao te Ching, chp11
