    Since my brain is being "pandemized" not longer can think of something to create. I was planning to crochet a purse but I already made seven.
    I would appreciate yours suggestions. Thanks...I am boooored. :)

    I usually like making small projects, like knitted socks or slippers. Bobby has a couple pairs that I have made for him, and my kids have all had winter socks knitted for them as well.
    I am just in the process of making a pair of ankle length socks to wear around the house over my regular socks.

    Another thing that I like to do sometimes, is to make small throw rugs, using knitting yarn and cut up plastic bags (called “plarn”).
    I cut the bags into loops and connect the loops and roll it into a ball like you would do with yarn, and then use that along with different shades of yarn to make the throw rugs. They are totally washable and dryable, and last forever.

    A phone pouch/holder that can be looped on a belt, over the shoulder, on a neck lanyard, might be cool.

    I looked a long time before finding one that would conveniently hold a large cell phone ....

    just a thought -
    chlorophyll , a tablespoonful, may result in remarkable clear thinking in 15 minutes, lasting a couple hours - naturally, clean and refreshing for the blood stream and brain ! (I tried it a few times - it worked each time)

    Your scarf is absolutely GORGEOUS , @Silvia Benoit ! ! I especially love the fringes and I bet it is warm when you wear it on cold evenings, too.
    I finished my ankle socks tonight and am wearing them. They should keep my feet nice and cozy in the house.

    I never learned to knit socks...and yours are adorably red and cute.
    The fringes in the scarf are the result of "tying the knot(s)".

    Thanks

    Yes, that's you.

    BTW, somebody fixed the problem.

    Bored.........who gets bored during a virus pandemic? Only kidding:D

    My wife can get bored, but I don't. But, then again, doing laundry, filling/running/unloading the dishwasher, stripping the bed and putting on new linens..............always keeps me busy! Yes, I'm the old tv show, Hazel (the maid), Mel (cook in tv show Alice) and the driver. My wife loves it all.
