My husbands (yes, was married twice) would hate it when I crocheted and it was almost like they were jealous of the time I was spending away from them or that I was enjoying without them. On the other hand I have met men and one is one of my brothers who think it is an absolutely charming skill that is truly meaningful when given. I love the latter opinion.-https://www.blogger.com/profile/04964347857163044017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907318835461639396.post-85240876071590754782011-02-15T20:13:46.307+01:002011-02-15T20:13:46.307+01:00Crochet has always been a very relaxing activity f...Crochet has always been a very relaxing activity for me as well. I think you are right: it is the repetitive motions. It's like a form of meditation. :) <br /><br />This pattern is lovely, by the way! I look forward to seeing a finished product. I imagine it would be fantastic in shades of one color. Then again, I adore monochromatic color schemes, so I may be a bit biased.Nancy McGillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00832580951081174708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907318835461639396.post-18287248611551775832011-02-14T20:44:43.795+01:002011-02-14T20:44:43.795+01:00I agree!

And I love to watch other people knit or crochet, I find it almost hypnotic :-)The Gingerbread Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11060553716262145464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907318835461639396.post-27392464214584840352011-02-14T19:56:21.280+01:002011-02-14T19:56:21.280+01:00Gingy.

Honestly, I'm just not sure. I can see that these colors don't pop like you must want them to but I am not so good with analyzing why. If you can't get it to work for you you may have to start it all over again. I do think the pattern will be very compelling if you find the right colors!Paul & Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11410143838866914548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7907318835461639396.post-1851713190738263952011-02-11T23:02:32.094+01:002011-02-11T23:02:32.094+01:00Yes, I think you're right.
