Purple Haze Crochet Craze


It has been a while since I have shared a crochet post, so I thought it is time to show what I have been up to.  I love starting new projects and have great difficulty completing them!  I may adopt the 'One a Day' method which appears to be getting very popular.  I can manage one 'Mini Granny Square' a Day and still dabble with the numerous other projects I have on the go.  I was inspired by the scarf I spotted in a shop window in Glastonbury High Street.
Part of me wishes I had bought this scarf, but if I had of bought it I would be thinking I should have made my own....can you see what type of person I am?  I dread to think who made the scarf because whoever it was, wherever they are, they were not paid enough if it can be sold at that price!  I don't know if machines can make Granny squares, if they can I want one!!!  I have to admit with all my crafting projects there is something comforting, therapeutic and gratifying about the good old Granny.  I love the Granny look.  I didn't have the colours to replicate the 'Shop Window Scarf' but somehow in my stash I have collected several shades of purple, it wasn't deliberate and I don't know how it happened.  Somehow purples have infiltrated my stash more than any other colour.  Good job I like 'The Colour Purple'.  I am hoping to be wearing my Granny Scarf with pride some time over the next couple of months.  Yin and Yang, I love Granny Squares but Oh sewing in all those ends....

    I like it! Pretty purples in fun little shapes :) What's not to like here? True, sewing in ends is a bit of a pain, but just think of how nice and satisfying it'll be when you have that pretty scarf wrapped around your neck!Best of luck!

    Oooh what a really inspiring post. I love your crochet tales :D

    The Window Scarf is brill - like you I immediately jump to "well if I did such and such I could make one of those myself" whenever I see anything knit or crochet. I love the purples you're using, I think it'll make an awesome scarf - looking forward to seeing your ta-dah post for it! :)

    Much love,
    Kim

    Love the colors and I know the feeling about the debate between buying and making!

I appreciate and enjoy reading all of the feedback from your comments. Thank you for taking the time to stop by and sharing your thoughts. Sadly I have found it necessary to enable word verification, something I was trying to avoid...but I am receiving an unmanageable deluge of Spam! We don't want that do we? xxx :)
