My blog has had a temporary change of name today because this post is not about my creations but my twin sisters. All I do is talk about me me me so lets have a look at someone else's creativity for a change.
Something rather exciting for me, Ellen has just started getting into crocheting!! Yay! I have a crocheting buddy!
This box here is her first ever crocheting creation. So proud!
By her own admission it's a little wonky but that's what gives it charm I think. She worked really fast actually. Once she decided she was finishing it, there was no stopping her.
She finished it all off with some sewn on flowers in the corner. How lovely!
But that's not all. As soon as that was finished, she was straight onto her next ambition; making a granny square. After helping her at the start with technique and how to read the pattern, she was off. In fact, she got so engrossed that she has diagnosed herself with COCD. Crocheting Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
This is the finished result once she decided to cast off. She didn't know what she was going to do with it though.
Unfortunately, we did find a use for it. Her granny square became a shroud for my hamster, Woodstock who died on Saturday. It was rather odd the way she died really. One minute she was fine and I was cleaning her cage out. I turned away for a minute and when I look back, she was gone! There one minute gone the next. But she was fairly old so it was just a case of time.
I really hope that Ellen keeps up with the crocheting. It really is great to have someone to crochet with. There's something very sociable about sharing a hobby.
