I hosted a little Crafternoon at my place this weekend. Two of the funnest and funniest guys I know…
…offered up their master crochet skills to the rest of us.
Seth walked in gave me one of the most gorgeous handmade gifts I've ever received.
And after trying out crochet for myself, I'm even more impressed with his mad crochet skills! The scarf is gorgeous and super long and I adore it! I can hardly wait for it to be cold enough to wear it!
We had a room divided at the Crafternoon. Crochet-ers on one side…
…and scrapbookers on the other side.
I believe Louise did ask if watermelon was archival, because it was wedged among all the scrapbook supplies and getting everything wet!
Of course we had plenty of Diet Coke to keep us fueled up:
And sweet Louise Nelson joined us all the way from Australia!!!
She is a master crochet-er! Very, very impressive!
And Kelly Purkey came from nearly as far…
…somewhere so far up in Manhattan I lose count of the numbers. 😉
Seth and Rodney were wonderful and patient teachers…
…but we were slow students. Or at least I was. Three of the following four objects were crocheted by Seth and one by me. Can you guess which one?
Let's just say that Seth looked at my finished piece and said, "What is this?" Ha. Ha. Ha.
But in all seriousness, it was such a joyful event. And I have a new skill! And a new book
Thanks for stopping by!
It looks like a great time was had by all! I sure wish I could have been there. Maybe someday!

a crafternoon looks like a lot of fun.
maybe you could get Seth and Rodney to do a guest post about crochet. I’d love to know how they got started, how long they’ve crocheting and how about some advice for beginners.
ps: love the scarf

I learnted to crochet when i was a kid and made all kinds of unwanted gifts. this lead to tatting, knitting and something like kumihumi(sp) that produced long tubes that were sewn in hats.

ooohhhh that looked like sooooo much fun. I’d have to divide my time between the two since I love to crochet too (although it doesn’t like my hands much – arthritis).
Sigh…. althought I don’t live in the middle of nowhere, it sure does feel like it at times 🙂

I love to crochet! Cracking up at Monica’s comment about making “unwanted gifts”. Lol! But that scarf is to die for! Gorgeous! I would love to know how to make Seth’s darling double flowers. I am working on a dishcloth now–it’s small, useful, and a great way to practice different patterns. I am perfecting my waffle-weave. Enjoy your new skill!

The double flowers are from the book I linked to on Amazon. 🙂

Looks like fun! I would have had a hard time choosing which side of the room to join! I love to crochet, but my skills are BASIC, so it would have been fun to learn some new “moves” from Seth and Rodney.
