While 2014 may have been The Lost Year, there was a new found love... crochet. I'd been acquainted with crochet as a child though only briefly. These two projects, particularly the afghan, delved me into a headlong romance with the old art.
Though it will never replace knitting for me, crochet is somehow simpler... more soothing... faster than knitting. And, it allows a slightly different approach to color. I've needed simpler... and more soothing. {smile}
More info on the afghan here and the pillow here.
Karen (from Pumpkin Sunrise), thank you for your comment about 2015 being the FOUND year. I love that! As a matter of fact, I am choosing my "word" for 2015 to be FOUND... even as I type the letters, there is a deep stirring in my soul. I think that is a good sign we're on to something!! Thank you again.
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015!! May it be a year for each of us to seek and find... to live intentionally and not just by the seat of our pants... Oh, that sounds good!!

Tanna, I love the colors in that. Happy New Year!!
Great word for the year. I have been thinking about mine and now I just might change my mind. By the way I love crochet, it will never be knitting but it doesn't have to be.
Hugs and Happy 2015.

I love the idea of the found year!! That is great isn't it. I am glad that you found crochet and that it found you and that I found you too! xx
Yes, may we all find ourselves in this new year and not get lost in all the stuff of daily life. I absolutely love both your crochet projects. You are truly amazing when it comes to any type of yarn work. Wishing you and yours a wonderful year ahead. Blessings and hugs, Tammy

Your "simpler and more soothing" is a stunner with its vast array of gorgeous colors! I love your word for this year.
Ahhh you've discovered the secret of crochet...soothing and simple...it warms the heart! I so love the afghan and pillow. Your work is always so lovely, no matter what medium you use. :)
As always, beautiful work, Tanna. I will join in with the others and say I love these gorgeous colors. Happy and blessed new year!
Your crochet projects make me smile! I've made a couple of those pillows and have been wanting to try that afghan.
I love your word and your beautiful crocheting. Wishes for a great 2015 where you find blessings great and small.
Wow! The colours are fantastic. The word "found" made me think! FIND for me might be better as I am looking forward to finding more adventures in life. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU.
you are welcome!! I love your happiness and your crafts and as long as you are busy living life well then that is a true blessing :)
I'm going to try a few crochet projects this year, too. Yours have been wonderful! I hope 2015 doesn't whirl past also as 2014 was pretty much of a blur here also. And we didn't even move!
