Holland Downtown in Michigan

Shall we go to Holland!?

I really wanted to go to Netherlands! But I got some good news~

We could enjoy the atmosphere of Netherlands in Holland, Michigan(US).

  

The name ZEELAND also was derived from one of Netherlands areas, 

to which the sea is connected. According to my husband the word "Zee" means "Sea".  

On arriving, we could see a Windmill, one of the most famous dutch symbols.  

Finally we arrived to Holland Downtown!! 

We could find info for Holland Downtown and parking lot easily. 
Public parking lots were easy to find here and there. 

In Downtown across the country, we could likely run across an example of public art.   

The appearance of Holland Downtown looked like One of European villages.

There were many variety shops. 

we stopped in one of many shops.

The Rabbit looks easier. :)

So Many Crochet Projects . . .

. . . but so little time. Well, I guess it's not time I'm lacking--more like an extra set of hands so I can do a couple projects at once! Maybe I should learn to crochet with my feet, but I make enough mistakes with my hands that I think I'll just stick with those for now.  :)

I recently got a shipment from KnitPicks--these are just a few of the beautiful yarns I received (thanks to my dear hubby's generous gift certificate!):

 

 Aren't they pretty?!? I'm actually building up a stash of these yarns, mostly Shine and Comfy. The ones pictured above are all sport weights, but I've also been buying fingering weight and DK weight. I have great plans for some really amazing grannies, ranging from itty bitty to pretty darn big. I love, love the feel of these cotton-blend yarns, and they're very affordable (especially compared to similar yarns I've found locally), and the colors make me incredibly happy!

 

 

Until yesterday, this was the project I was working on (this is NOT made with the yarn pictured above--this is Vanna and Simply Soft). Yet another ripple blanket. Yes, I get stuck in crochet ruts. (I just realized how wrinkly and wonky the blanket looks in the picture--in real life, it lays very nice.) Anyway, I wanted to mix lots of colors in with gray, and I loved the way it looked in my mind. The reality of it, however, is a little disappointing--I'm not sure I'm fond of my color choices. It's about half done, so I've decided to put it aside for a while and see what I think of it in a few weeks.

 

This is my newest project--woo hoo!! While I wanted to break away from ripples temporarily, I still wanted something easy--I use crochet for relaxation, and don't want to be concentrating too much. I found a video for a larksfoot stitch blanket here, and I started playing with it yesterday--already it's addicting! I'm planning on sticking with the colors pictured by in a random order (the colors are actually brighter than they appear here--I really need to learn to use my camera!) 

But for the next few days, there will be a break in my crocheting as I get ready for my daughter's WEDDING (!!!) on Saturday! I can't wait to share pretty pictures from the event!
