Get Hooked
My daughter loves Tinkerbell and has been wanting some Tinkerbell slippers. I ran across a very simple crochet slipper pattern. I used some lime green yarn and made a couple of pom poms. The slippers turned out really cute – except they are too small. Here’s my foot displaying the slipper. It is way too…
Continue ReadingEvery once in a while, I like to crochet a themed Cthulhu. With Mardi Gras coming up later this month, I thought now would be the perfect time to make one and use up some stashed yarn. Think it turned out pretty cute. I did the tentacles each a different color. For the wings I…
Continue ReadingI was able to finish on scarf for our state’s Special Olympics. I did stripes and was pleased at how it turned out. It will be on its way later today. Not sure how many scarves my state has received but hope they reach their goal.

Continue ReadingI have found a great way to recycle yarn. Some projects start out really on track and then just fall off it somehow. So, I’m left with half-finished projects that I can’t bear to throw away and unraveling seems pointless since it is such a small amount of yarn. Since winter has arrived, I have…
Continue ReadingLook what my husband got me for Christmas. He decided to play it safe and went with items from my Amazon wish list. I love that they are all yarn related. I love the Clover crochet hooks and have been wanting more since I bought one a few months back. A Good Yarn has been…
Continue ReadingOne of my goals for 2011 is to sell crochet at at least one craft fair. The first fair in our area is in May. I have a list of what I want to sell. Now I just have to make it. I really don’t expect to sell much. I think it will be fun…
