Six Reasons to Love Amtrak
As maybe I already mentioned, I recently made a quick trip up to Yosemite to visit my dear friend Genny, who I met in Ecuador last year. She taught me how to crochet as we dodged water balloons and raw eggs on Carnaval! Anyway, I took Amtrak up there. Miles and miles of this!
It was actually quite gorgeous, if monotonous. So, I crocheted. Yippee!
1. Deliciously Soft Purple Wristwarmers
2. Small Black Wristwarmers with a Gray-Pink-Burgundy Flower
3. Pink Afghan Crochet Cuff, or Woolen Bracelet
I absolutely love the way this stitch looks. I can’t wait to get a proper Afghan crochet hook so that I can make more than just bracelets with it.
4. Black Arm Warmers with a Pink Flower
5. Black Wristwarmers with a Gray and Pink Flower
6. Smaller Black Wristwarmers with a Gray and Pink Flower
These are all on Etsy, too! Actually, you can reach their pages by just clicking on the pictures. I hope you like them!
Black Wristwarmers with Brown-Blue-Green Flower
The latest addition to my Etsy shop (I know, I’m really slow on the whole creating inventory thing), these are black wool wristwarmers with a cotton blue and brown flower stitched on with green cotton.
They’re four inches tall, and seven and a half inches in diameter.
And, just in case you were wondering, they cost $8 and there will be a couple more photos of them up on Etsy in a matter of minutes!
Scarf to Replace Naty’s

My friend Nathalie knitted me a beautiful scarf in these colors when I left Ecuador last year. Brilliant as I am, I left it in a bar earlier this year, so I’ve crocheted myself a new one so I can always remember her and her lovely gift. It was my first experience using shell stitch, which it turns out I really like.
You can see it in detail on my Flickr!

I made this for myself after a failed felting experiment! Turned out pretty well, I think. There’s a flower on the back, but you’ll just have to go to my Flickr to see that

Genny’s Bag
Genny was the one who taught me how to crochet in the first place, a year and a half ago, on a bus between Banos and Riobamba, Ecuador. Now I’m going to visit her in Yosemite where she lives, and she likes to cook, so I’ve made her this to take her vegetables home!
