Crochet Oranges for a Cold

"When life gives you lemons...crochet an orange?" That makes sense to me!

This week passed me by in a blur of sniffles, congestion, and sneezing. Don't you love when a cold just comes out of nowhere and gets in the way of a week's worth of to-dos? Ugh. I am finally feeling a little better today even though my head is so stuffy I get dizzy when I walk. Not too fun. So, of course, I thought a little crochet Vitamin C might help keep the sniffly blues at bay.

For me it is easier to create random objects like an orange slice with a crochet hook instead of knitting needles. It is like doodling with yarn! Haha. Does that make sense at all? Instead of drawing the design on paper first I just pick up a hook, some yarn, and see what happens.

I've come to the conclusion that crafting is medicinal. Even when I'm sick it brings a smile to my face. :)

If you are suffering from sinuses too I feel your pain! I hope you get to rest and recharge this weekend.

  3. I feel your pain (and sniffles too). I've been battling a terrible cold this week also. I didn't have the genius remedy of crocheting Vitamin C in the form of orange slices though. My next cold better look out... I'll have a crochet hook in hand and whip up a remedy stat! ;)

  13. Oh you poor thing. Hope you feel better soon! Love, love the orange slice. What a wonderful creation! I totally understand about drawing with yarn - I find the same with embroidery. It's on my list of things to do - learn crochet, so hearing it's like drawing (which I agree, knitting less so), is encouraging me to give it a go.

    If it's any consolation, I've come down with full on flu, bleurgh :-( I've tried picking up my latest knitting project (burnt orange coloured autumnal jumper) but haven't even had the energy for that! Hoping to give it a go this weekend. That, watch films, and drinks lots tea.

    Hope you feel better soon me dear!

  14. I hope you feel better soon hun! I spent the week with a cold as well :/ but I think my most therapeutic night was spent sitting in front of my laptop watching Mad Men and balling up some new skeins. I completely agree that crafting is medicinal (:

  16. I'm sorry that youre sick, and along with everyone else I hope you get better soon :) Whenever I'm coming down with or getting floored by a cold, I always grab some golden seal/echinecea from walmart. it's an herbal blend that boosts immune health to kick that cold's butt.
