I don’t know what it is about starting a new knitting project that just makes me feel good. Maybe I should add, “anticipating a new knitting” project as well. Somehow new yarn and a new pattern makes me want to immediately get it on the needles. So, as I finished making all of my knitted gifts, I intentionally held off on starting a new project until January. I knew I would feel a bit of the after holidays let down and would crave some comfort and joy heading into the New Year.
For 2023 my 1st new project is actually a crocheting project. I'm a knitter at heart but decided to take a beginner crochet class with Teresa to broaden my horizons and, truth be told, I found this beautiful crocheted market bag and I had to make it.
I happened to be with the rest of the “A Little Knitty” staff on our retreat and I spotted the “Dunya Market Bag” at Bazaar Girls Yarn Shop in Port Townsend and fell in love.
I confess that at first I was disappointed that it was a crochet pattern and not a knit one but Jen and Teresa assured me I could do it and so here we are (don't they look like they are up to no good??).
I found some beautiful yarn and have my Crochet hook US E at the ready and I’m going to jump in.
Do you have a new project lined up to begin the New Year or one you are thinking about trying?
Join me as we head into 2023 with needles or crochet hook in hand!
