crochet weather

here in the Great Northwest, the weather has turned cold and drippy again. the bright-colored leaves are always a treat to see fluttering down and it's sad to know that soon all that will be left of the trees are brown sticks coming up out of the dirt. meanwhile, it's the perfect time of year to get cozy and crochet. i have been in a slipper-making mood and found a great pattern in the Crochet Today! magazine. they are quick to do and give me a real sense of accomplishment after the summer of creative inactivity. secondly, slippers are a great way to go thru some of my yarn stash from the past many winters. i also plan to be working on hats and scarves again, as well as  few more market bags. bring on the sleet and snow!
