Sweater-wearing fruit

Do you love crochet?

Not your Nanna's crochet, I mean the hip modern kind of hooking?

I have to admit in the past I have brought the hook and wool to give it a try and then they get pushed to the back of the cupboard and forgotten about until next time I see something inspiring.

That day came again this week when I found some eye candy I just love.  Why? well this is what I mean...

This is a must have for my cold apples.

Can you imagine a whole bowl of sweater-wearing fruit?

So I thought that was the end of the crochet love until I found the bunting @Carina's

Now, that's eye candy for hooker's.

(eeek, I know I am going to get lot's of spam after that last sentence.)

You will find the tutorial to make these at Carina's Craftblog....I like that Carina says "pretty easy, huh?"  It's the kind of words I like to hear when trying something new.

So now my kitchen could be full of sweater-wearing fruit and decorated with eye candy bunting.

But, you know there is more to the crochet journey and there is.

This picture is what started it all.

One of my favorite places to visit is Amanda Brooke, I love her posts, the way Amanda writes and her gorgeous photos.  It's peaceful & I love that.

So when Amanda began to talk about her Woodland Granny Squares, I sat up and listened.  Her color choice is divine, the circle in a square is gorgeous.

Now I could see my kitchen full of sweater-wearing fruit, decorated with bunting with a granny square rug placed on the couch.  All made in Amanda's woodland colors.

That's when I caught the not your Nanna's crochet bug.

Till then,
