I too like crocheting. I usually have a lace project and a larger piece of work on the go at any time.
Currently it is a black lace jacket (in no 20 cotton), some filet lace and an eco-bag made from strips of recycled plastic bags.
(I also do needle-lace, embroidery, and have made a small rag rug.)

If you like antique crochet patterns there are a lot here:

Recycled plastic bags, crocheted cassete tape and other recycling ideas are here:

And here's a set of links to a lot of free crochet patterns.
