It’s been to long!!!
But check out the lovely lace cardigan I’ve been working on!
And the Bavarian stitch Afghan below...
I’ve not been posting but I’ve been working!
Making tons of changes to our home, farm and life in general. Horses have taken over the farm and a good part of my heart.
I’ve decided to let go of ALL my hobbies but my number one favorite all time ... creating crochet fashion!! I want to be amazing at crochet. Which means more focus on it alone. I started this last year .. the focus to get better. And I did!! Much better!! Then spinning and sheep and other things got in the way so I had to stop and clear my space for good!
It’s all I care to do these days.. doing any other hobby only made me wish I was crocheting instead .. or with my horses!
I no longer want to spin yarn.. been there done that. My favorite yarns are made with plant fibers or silk anyways which is hard to find, hard to spin and often more expensive than just buying the yarn itself! But often so is wool based yarns too...but Im tired of wool... Wool has its place ,,I love it for felted crochet projects, just not in my sweaters or scarves. It’s to hot in the south and to itchy for my sensitive skin. For A nice handbag or gloves.. yes! A blanket sure! Just no wool on my neck or body! Even merino is itchy on my neck.. I honestly like high quality acrylic yarns for scarves ... there I said it!
My husband has still got pigs on his side of the farm and I’m hoping to get back into gardening on a larger scale again.
I miss it terribly.
All other livestock and farm ventures are gone. I loved my my sheep and waterfowl but horses need lots of time , attention and money. I feel like to give them the very best I needed to find homes for the livestock where they would be focused on like I want to focus on horses.
Change is good... the next chapter is exciting... God is great and my blessings are many ❤️
