After this, you can officially call yourself a “hooker”. The Budding into Spring Square is a great project for beginners, especially for the spring season.
Budding into Spring Square
The beautiful circle is crocheted first and, should you not want to make a blanket, you can use this simple portion as a doily or coaster. Continue the rest of the pattern and create a square which can be used in a granny square afghan. You can find the full pattern on our site. We would love to see your finished project!

At the Library Used Book Store where I volunteer some evenings. Evenings are not very busy so I work on my crochet while waiting for customers. Otherwise, just the usual places where you have to sit and wait.
Sitting in the front sit of my RV bus as my husband drives us off on vacation. It can be a little bumpy but the view is great.
in the bus station
I have crocheted at church choir practice for the Christmas concert. I was trying to finish a Christmas present.
That would have to be in the car. I draw, crochet, embroidery etc.
In my office on Christmas Eve trying to finish a present.
Camping in Canada!
The oddest place I have crafted . . . LOL I bring a craft with me everywhere I go! I suppose the oddest would be at the beach crocheting squares for a blanket. I do alot of other crafting but usually it takes place in not soooo odd places. My favorite is to paint outside.
The weirdest place I ever crocheted was in a graveyard. sitting in a car out of gas.
Crocheted a King size one piece granny square blanket at the beach in 90 degree heat… it was a wedding gift and had to be done.
I have, and will continue to, crochet anywhere I have a chance. I have worked on a baby afghan in the doctor’s office, ball games, at recess when I taught 1st grade, and many, many other places.
the weirdest place crochted is while swinging outside on my swing and hanging upside on my swings play bars
Oddest place would be Archon, at St. Louis, IL. I taught a beading class to a bunch of people in cosplay costumes. Next oddest would have to be crocheting at a car dealership while waiting to find out whether or not I was getting a new car.
While I was driving myself to work. Had to finish in time for Christmas!
Probably the oddest place was out in the middle of the lake while camping. I love being out in the wilderness, but was never much on fishing, so I always bring my crafts and work on them there!

I guess camping would be my oddest place.
my doctors office
Love squares and motifs.
On a cruise. I scrapbooked, but it wasn’t a scrapbooking cruise.
I also crochet everywhere I go, taking at least two projects in case I get tired of working on one, a change of yarns and hook can give me a break from it. I hope to try your new pattern for a carry along!
The oddest place to craft was in a car
looks as though the strangest place is at home these days! I don’t like to carry my crafts around-mostly because ii am the type of person who wouldd forget it after it was 99.9% complete! so I am pretty boring & craft at home:)
Wow, these are beautiful! I am going to have to make these.
When the button hole scarves came out made with the fun fur, I discovered there were 15 traffic lights on the way to work… it’s amazing how many rows you can do while sitting at a red light!
When my son was in high school and showing hogs, he had to wash the hogs before the show. He got ready to wash his hog and didn’t have the right scrub brush. So, I got my crochet hook out and my netting and made a scrubber while I sat on the panel of the hog pen. It only took a few minutes, and he was ready to go to the wash room!
When I was young I used to drive a “caleche” (horse & carriage) for the tourist trade in downtown Montreal. There would be long stretches of time (whole days even) when I got little to no passengers. So I always brought something with me to pass the time. Sometimes it was little projects I was working on, and other times I’d bring a good book I was in middle of reading, but in any case I always had something to do to keep me occupied in the event that it turned out to be a long boring day of doing nothing and going nowhere.
I don’t think it’s odd to craft ANYwhere! I crochet everywhere… it’s the one craft that I take wherever I go. I can’t imagine what waiting in a doctor’s office is like anymore without my needle and yarn!
at a bar and grill, had to finish an afghan, hat and booties set, so brought it along, got so many comments! It was a big football game we couldnt get at home, and the bar/grill had NFL ticket!
The oddest place I’ve crafted is when I chaperoned my daughters on the band performances. The school buses for rides and 30 or more high school students. There was something about me crocheting and staring at a noisy student that usually got quiet results. The supplies I always carried came in very handy. Safety pins, Alway! yarn to hold us a torn sign. Great times with my daughters.
I have crocheted on the bus, at the bus stop waiting, and get lots of comments and questions. At work, on lunch break, at the park just relaxes me.
One would be while substitute teaching the 6th grade. I was told to bring something to do as the students would be taking a test & doing required reading. They became very interested in what I was doing & had to know all about it. OOPs! The other 2 would be in the closet as a child & in the cellar during a tornado.
