Crazy Crochet

I haven't gotten as far on my crazy dream crochet project as I'd hoped for today.  The blue and red sections of this are plain old acrylic yarn, and the purple is wool.  I'm going to keep going with the red for about.....oh I don't know..... three or four more rounds or double crochet, then I'll add a loopy edging for the last round.  So what do you think will happen when I throw it in the hot washer?  I am prepared for it to come out really wonky.  That's ok.  It's all about dreaming and learning:)

Here is another project I'm working on, just to do something different from crocheting!  I got this idea the other day that I needed to knit pumpkins.  I'll be back next week with more on that.  I'm going to try to work out a pattern for you.

I have tomatoes processing in the canner, and am looking forward to unplugging for a little bit this weekend.  There is a lovely rain starting.  It feels so good right now.  Sometimes the rain feels like it's washing away stress and worries.  Today I'm struggling with issues of artists' egos and where ego fits in a community art project.  Maybe I'll go stand in the rain and let it wash all that away:)

Have a lovely weekend.  I'll see you Monday:)
