Frozen Shoulder , bucket hats and lockdown.

7/3/2021

I thought I could keep myself busy by  happily sewing and quilting during this long lockdown but my shoulder thought differently . It froze up and with it so did all my sewing projects that required a sewing machine.  I had to resort to other methods of creation! 

I began by knitting the famous oversized  JW Anderson "Harry Styles sweater" but  I quicky understood ( by the pain in my arm) that any future projects had to be  smaller. So with some online help I started crocheting up a few bucket hats from my stash of left over yarn and gifted them to loved ones for Christmas.
​
All the recipients were very polite and did not comment on my beginner mistakes which made me very happy indeed!

My shoulder is now in the  defrosting stage  so I'll still be in crochet mode for a while longer.
I just finished  a basket / bag that is pictured above .  This was perfect project  since I seem to have amassed a lot of scrappy leftover yarn over the years  and I love that I am using it all up with this "yarn eating" project.  Admittedly I need to make several more projects like this  in order to make a dent  in my stash but  the process is so enjoyable and soothing that I may take up this challenge - Lets see...... 

                                                                                                                                       Nonie        P.S.   If you want to try making these - Click on  photos with links  for patterns
