2009 :: Crochet Review

Hello my lovelies, it's good to see you! Hoping you all had a wonderful Christmas time?

We certainly did, it was fun and happy and relaxed, just as I had hoped it would be. A little too dominated by the arrival of this for my liking but hey, I am only one quarter of the family and for the other three-quarters it's providing huge excitement and many happy hours of entertainment. So who am I to judge? Thank heavens for crochet is all I can say :: thank heavens I can sit with my family while they are in full-on Gaming Mode and immerse myself in my own little colourful hooky world. I am very adept at zoning out.

So Christmas is over for another year...don't know about you but I always breathe a little private, gentle sigh of relief once we come out the other side. I love the activity and festivity and full-on family time very much, but do somewhat find myself craving a bit of normality to return.

I was pottering around the house earlier, tidying up a little of the humongous mess that has been invading our living space since the 25th, thinking little reflective thoughts to myself, pondering the fact that we have only a few more days left of this year. Its been a good year for me this one, a happy year, and a creative one. There's much I'd like to say with regards to my little Bloglett and the way it's grown and evolved during 2009, but I'll leave that for another time I think....in the meantime, I thought I might spend the next few days here at Attic24 having a little look back over this year, a little Review if you like.

And where better to begin than with some crochet?? Yes, today's post is going to be full of hooky-goodness. Yaaayyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So without further ado, let the Happy Hookyness begin...................

Thanks for reminding us of all the FAB inspirational items you made this year. I always love seeing what you have accomplished in the cheery, wonderful colors you choose.

Here's to another wonderful, colorful, hooky year! Keep on inspiring dear!

Thanks for showing us all of the lovely things you made this year. I only found you in summer, so I missed out on a 1/2 years worth of hookiness.

Happy New Year to you and yours, I'll see you in 2010.

This is so much more interesting than a "pop song of 2009 review" or a "news review" or worse of all "sporting moment review". Looking forward to some flower power x

[Tami]

All of it is AMAZING!! :) did I miss a tutorial for the bunting? I went back to look and I can't find it :(

[Jane]

Hi there Lucy,
What a very clever girl you are - I'm loving all the annual hookie projects.

what a gorgeous year of hookieness. xxx

our house was invaded by a Wii this Christmas, I have the same feelings you have... xx

[Louise]

What a colourful year you had! It all makes for a wonderful display. Glad your Christmas went well - but I know what you mean re. the PS3...one invaded our house this month and I'm not keen but sometimes you have to give a little...!

[Kelly]

A great hooking year indeed. Thank you for your inspiration and creative encouragement. I will read on for more in the coming year. ~Kelly

Dear Lucy great to look back over your crochet projects for the year especially as
I only came across your blog in October!!
I bought a copy of the book about knitting and crocheting flowers and found that I am beginning to understand more of the instructions after all your wonderful tutorials. Dark and bleak here today but have been up to our local woods and to gardening shop to purchase fat balls for the birds.
Later this evening (as mine will be watching football) I shall return to your blog and look at all the projects in detail.
Looking forward to a creative 2010.
Love sarah west mids

All very beautiful and I think it's the blue that makes it so gorgeous. You are a fantastic colorist, Lucy.
