Yes. The woman crocheting dishcloths in the line waiting to see Santa is me. Who knew rows and rows of half double crochet could be so calming during the holiday rush. I think they’ll go nicely with the soaps.
What last minute projects are you finishing up?
I’m on a roll finishing scarves. This one turned out a little longer than I planned. I just kept joining motifs and forgot that each one is a little bit bigger after blocking.
I’ve been wanting to make this scarf since I learned how crochet. It worked up fast and I highly recommend it for your gift making/giving this season. This version is a little shorter than the pattern specs because it’s a gift for a little girl. I think she’s going to love it.
Halloween is in just a few days. Do you need a quick, fun and spooky crochet project? Here are some of my favorites.
I’ve been hooking up a storm lately. I finished this scarf and I’m using up the extra bits to make a bookmark. I’ve also started a new scarf that’s almost done. I’m not sure what’s gotten into me. Maybe it’s the cool Autumn weather?
I can’t wait to block the scarf [...]
This week I crocheted a little flower bookmark for a friend. I mailed it to her “just because.”
I am so excited this is finished because I’m really ready for a new project. It turned out just as beautiful as I had imagined the day I found the sweater.
In my creative space today I’m working on the border for the wagon wheel baby blanket. It’s been almost a year since I started this project. Yikes! I really lost momentum when it came to seaming the squares.
Today was World Wide Knit in Public Day. My daughter and I spent it with friends at the park. (I worked on a crochet project. I’m such a rebel.) The weather was beautiful, but kind of chilly. I wished I had brought a sweater.
My experiment in crocheting motifs with self-striping yarn just keeps growing. I’m joining as I go, and it’s now destined to be a scarf. I’m going to have to block as I go, too, so I don’t run out of pins.
Original motif blogged here.
