  • I've been testing out a new crochet pattern (soon to be released) called the Challenge Mitts.  The challenge is to do them in an hour for the short version (which both of these are).  The white ones are done in a baby weight yarn that is evil and splitty.  It was hard to work with, but they came out fairly nice.  The red ones are in Red Heart Super Saver.

  • Well.  I've spent quite a bit of time this moth with a crochet hook in my hand. First was the pair of slippers reverse engineered from a pattern that the hubby's grandmother used to make.  This is what they look like on the sock blockers. 

     

    And off of them.  

     

    And the crocheted bag holder.

     

    And the niece's first birthday present--an apple green sun dress, with a ladybug on the front.

     

    All that said, I don't know what's up with the funky photo formatting.  They upgraded the system, and things just don't work the way they used to.  Maybe more practice will get me used to the new system.  Or perhaps they just want all the photos in a jumble, and you get to figure out what's what.  Good luck.

  • bo-color beret 2 Here's my favorite 5 year old model.  He's showing off the latest finished object, the bi-color beret.  It's a little big on him.  It was knit in Brown Sheep Lamb's Pride Worsted in black, and some multicolored handspun.  And here's the back.bi-color beret 1

  • fairy farts batts Hello again!  I've been busy washing stinky fleece, dying it, and using the drum carder on it.  Here we have the results--fairy farts bats.  It even has some angelina sparkles.  This was all done for a small troop of Brownies in Louisville, for the niece and SIL.  This was the leftovers.  I've been told it was a success, as there were no attempts to escape to the bathroom or drinking fountain, no one saying they were bored or wanting to wash their hands, and a few asking if they could take the supplies home with them.  I also passed around samples of various fibers, from llama to cotton to silk cocoons.peasandcarrots

    I also actually did some fun spinning--some superwash BFL that I call peas and carrots, since it's in greens and orange.space socks

    And finally, we have the socks you can see from space--pink, red, green, white, and purple.  It was my first attempt at an afterthought heel, and I think I should have decreased at a faster rate.  At least I'll know for next time.

About Me

  • I'm currently a SAHM of an adorable little boy, the short person. I also have the hubby driving me crazy, and 3 cats that think it's fun to sit on my head while I'm trying to sleep. I play with all things fibery, so who knows what you might find on here?
