A word to my fellow crafty crochet friends~
It isn't just good for the soul; it's also good for the body and mind.
  According to research done at the University of Florida's center for Arts in Medicine.  Through their nurse observations, they found that patients who participated in hospital "arts and crafts" programs; drawing, painting, and others required a lot less pain medications and were more relaxed.
It may be a good idea to share your love of crochet with other people.  It is good to pass the time, if you are lonely, or bored.  It is a way to help others by donating what you create to a good cause.

There are so many great reasons to "crochet!"

Yarn from the past; "Woolworth" store.  Notice the "price." 

 

 

 

I am using this along with another thin yarn, tied together.

ORANGE AND WHITE SCARF AND MATCHING BAG
 

 

See October 6, 2012 for instructions on the scarf.  The bag is a half dbl. crochet large square, folded in half.  Sew it up on the sides with yarn needle.  Let a section at the top to make a fold down "flap."  Attach a button or pin for a "closure," if desired.
