Free Crochet Patterns for Easter Home Decorating

Crocheting, needlework and reading are 3 things I've missed since becoming "hooked" on the computer more than the crochet hook. These are things I used to do with my hands and eyes that were replaced with tapping out letters and words on the keyboard. I still do a lot of that, as you can see, but needed to balance things out a bit better.

My solution was to combine pleasures. First, I put aside the computer in the evening when my husband gets home, he is only awake until around 10 pm, an early riser, and I am a night owl, so I like to spend the time that he is awake focusing on him, and I can't do that sincerely while working on the computer. Now during our time together, I sit and talk or watch television with him, and crochet at the same time. This is especially good for easier projects where you don't have to constantly be looking at the crochet pattern for the next step.

How does reading fit into the picture? I've missed reading and have found a way to mix both crocheting and reading...I listen to audio books. When my husband goes to bed, if there isn't any pressing work to be done on the computer (I work from home), then I listen to my audio books while I crochet. So there are two ways to multi-task and give and receive pleasure at the same time.
