Wish I Could Skateboard and A Sugar and Cream Basket

It was so nice today that we went to the park with the grandkids late afternoon.   There is a really great skateboard area there...




...makes me wish I was twenty years...no make that forty years...younger and a lot more steady on my feet.   Think of the fun (broken bones?) I could have sailing around this park.   Ah, the joys of youth!!!

I have been working on making small baskets, as you know.   I tried making one with sugar and cream yarn and I found it very difficult to work with.   Probably because I was crocheting a dense pattern plus the fact that this yarn has no give.   I am not really happy with the results...

What do you think?   I think I am going to try a regular yarn next and see if I like that better.   Maybe in a dark brown.   I'll keep you posted.   Oh, and I am not using a pattern, just kind of playing around like I did with the Christmas Village.

I'll leave you with one of my texture pictures...
I absolutely love this pattern.

Thanks for stopping in...
See you tomorrow...
