Needlework Tuesday - Crochet at the Cottage

This past weekend was spent with family and friends at a cottage in the Kawartha Lakes Region of Ontario.  Needless to say, my focus was not on needlework.   I did take my crochet along and completed about half of a strip for my sister's afghan. I only had one mistake to correct, not bad at all.

I did answer some questions about crochet from other vacationers.  They were curious , not about why I was crocheting at a cottage, but rather about the process involved and how I remembered  the pattern, which looked complex to them.  I could only explain that it makes sense to me.  I can visualise the pattern in my mind and then make it happen.  I suppose, that is why I can look at another person's knitting and then figure out what they did wrong and then correct it for them without having to rip it all back.  I don't think I turned anyone to the 'needlework side' but perhaps, cleared up a misconception or two and increased their appreciation of "those blankets that grandma makes".
