I'm Still A Hooker at Heart

Just a quick post today....

I know I have been doing a lot of non crochet crafts lately, but that is just because I am trying to give my hands a rest. They have seem to be hurting more and more when I crochet. But with that said at least once a week I am still working on my small granny square scrap blanket. I really need to count how many squares I have now. I am sure, I still don't have nearly enough.

What I'm Working On Now

Nothing major these days. I had been thinking bout making a dish towel after I saw this post. I have one (store bought) that I use all the time, literally wash an reuse, and it shows....this is well over due.

I originally was going to use a waffle stitch, but then I saw this,and really liked the way it looked. So I just aded a few more chains and went to work. Color choice...well again I already had two-ish balls of this orange yarn, so why not, right? It's Knitpicks Shine Sport in Cementine, and I think I will trim it with the yellow up in the corner of the above photo. It is also Knitpicks, Comfy in Crème Brulee. I think I might run out....bummer....I will have to order more yarn. LOL

I also pick out my yarn for my next amigurumi project. It was on sale for $1 each!

I basically got one o each color hey had left (except the creme, I already had that one) then I was back in the store for something else and added a couple of more colors.

I think I can name them all: Soft Ecru, Hot Green, Light Blue, Hot Orange, Hot Blue, Mod Green, Lavender (Scents), Yellow, and Hot Pink. Dang, that was some work, I don't have the yarn with me while I'm doing this post. Anyway....kind of excited to get started o his one.

Yarn Covered Containers

I ran across this project over on Craftpassion.com and figured, easy enough. Not only easy, but pretty fun too. I found a huge bag of toilet paper rolls (industrial sized) at work. I'm not sure why they had so many of them, but I certainly helped myself to a few...well maybe more than a few :)

I made one:



I covered the inside and the bottom of the container differently than the ones on craft passion



It was cute, it needed a friend, so I made another one:

Then I became sort of addicted... and I made more:



I needed one for every thing that I could possibly put inside a container.

If anyone is interested in how I covered the insides...let me know I have a couple of tubes leftover and would be happy to do a how to. :)

New Yarn

I got this yarn as a Chistmas Gift from my boss/friend who is a knitter. She always has the best yarn. I am now totally in love with it. I just need to figure out what I want to make with it. I am thinking Cowl! I have been looking at this pattern Chi-Town Cowl.

Isn't it pretty?
