It turns out that the Christmas lights crochet project is a great take-along project. It may be the only thing I'm working on for a while. At least until I get some other projects started.
I've made a couple other colors.
I now have ideas for other projects. It's just a matter of starting them.
Starting consists of finding the yarn (which consists of me digging through boxes and bins of yarn) and/or finding patterns (which consists of me searching online for what I want to make).
I mean, I could try designing, but that's for when I want to make something specific that I have in mind and I don't figure it'll exist as a pattern somewhere (like when I knit a new purse).
Decisions, decision, decisions. I have to figure those out first, then I can jump to the starting stuff. And that's where I've been stuck. But my long-term is over, so I might have some more head space in which to consider the problem.
Until then, I can plug away at the Christmas lights. I've got plenty of time to do them before the holiday.
In case you're wondering, the pattern for these lights is here.
They do look colourful. By the time Christmas arrives, there will be a lot more colours, I'm sure.
ReplyDeleteUnless something else comes along to take my attention.
DeleteThose are adorable! They look like something people would buy as a strand or bunch like you show. Very cute.
ReplyDeleteThey'll eventually be attached to a "cord". But I'm going to make a bunch more first.
DeleteI think I've mentioned that whatever is left of the temperature afghan yarn (assuming I finish this year!) may work well with these Christmas lights.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely would.
DeleteThose are super cute.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteAdorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteOh I love these!
ReplyDeleteThey came out really nice, though the red ones still remind me of strawberries (in a good way).
ReplyDeleteTime can move pretty fast.
ReplyDeleteI really, really like these. By the way, I'm wearing the fingerless gloves you created. Even in warmer temperatures they pad my palms to decrease wrist stress. And Peppylady's comment made me laugh as a reminder to "Ferris Buehler's Day Off". Be well!
ReplyDeleteYou have really gotten a lot of wear out of those gloves. Are you in need of a second pair?
DeleteThese are just delightful, Liz.
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteThey indeed look quite colourful. There is plenty of time!
ReplyDeleteI really like them. I think they'd make a great gift.
ReplyDeleteNice ......great Christmas decor.
ReplyDeleteIt will be. Eventually.
DeleteThose are adorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteNice variety of bulbs, I love the mustard one. I'm glad you have found an exciting project to do, and between now and Christmas you'll have time to do a few ;)
