5 Reasons Why Crochet is Better than Knitting

I never, ever thought I would say this, but on my nice trek across town today, I did find 5 excellent reasons why crochet is/was better for me today.

1. It takes up less space on the bus, and people are not horrified to sit beside me.
2. The crochet hook cannot punch a hole in my purse like my knitting needles did last week.
3. I was able to finish an entire adult hat in single crochet in one journey across town.
4. When the needle falls out of the work you only have to pick up one stitch.
5. I can impress complete strangers with my speedy work like some kind of crafty super hero.

But if anyone asks, I never said any of this.

Island Recap

Fast and furious, but it went off without a hitch.....Breakfast on the pier in Nanaimo in the morning.



We drove to Comox on the Island Highway and it started to snow, a beautiful chunky wet snow, but it had completed stopped and evaporated by the time we hit our destination.

The Filberg Lodge in commox is a beautiful heritage site. The festival itself is one of the best attented in BC and attracts some of the best artists in Canada....Here are a few pics of the lodge, and surrounding grounds.



The ferry ride home was fairly uneventful, but I did manage to get one design finished on the way home.

This crocheted design was the finest needle size I will ever use (2.5mm), but for the Lorna's Lace which is a gorgeous silk-wool blend it seemed to work.

I was going for something hip and slick for spring and I love the colours.



Enough fun. Time to work on the next selection of jury pieces. I am looking at 10 pieces for my next show application.
