Now she's buying yarn, making cushions, even crocheting while sitting at the computer or in the car (not when she's driving, clearly!!). I know I'm not telling you anything you don't already know, but isn't it great how knitting, or crochet in this case, is a lovely relaxing experience (well, except for fair isle or steeking, but you get the drift I'm sure). And you don't need heaps of time, you can squeeze some knitting/crochet in at odd moments - who hasn't done it while uploading photos for their blog - and it is so satisfying - I guess it gives you a little sense of control over things when it seems all else is falling down around you.
And as we all know photos make posts more interesting, so here's a gratuitous shot of the custom-made tea cosy I made for Snoozen's teapot last year. Just simple double crochet in Cleckheaton 12ply (worsted) yarn.
Hope you all have a happy and safe Easter!

Hope Snoozen's days are looking up. I always go by Dave Barry's good advice :
You should never say anything to a woman that even remotely suggests that you think she's pregnant unless you can see an actual baby emerging from her at that moment.

Yes, totally agree about knitting / crochet being a soothing oasis of control and calm in an insane world :)
Great quote Jejune and so true.
I love that tea cozy. Beautiful.
I dont' think I realised you were a crocheter as well. I'm very happy for Snoozen (not, obviously, for the crappy stuff happening to her) but for the crochet. She needs a blog!
Aw, that's wonderful!
Your tea cosy is great. I have had someone ask me the same question after having my child so I know how Snoozen feels!
