I’ve been a bit quiet but that doesn’t mean I haven’t been crocheting. I am feeling a serious addiction to crochet at the moment and I can’t sit in front of the TV without wanting to crochet something. That desire has lead to a couple things that didn’t develop into anything usable. I tried to make up my own pattern for 2 hats without success and attempted to make a crocheted gift box which looks quite sad. Some things that went well are the granny square slippers from The Purl Bee. I decided to make them in red for my niece and nephew. Those kids are getting a lot of crocheted things this Christmas, LOL. I even added a bell to the tips which makes them officially “Elf Slippers.” Now I just hope they fit! They are darned cute though.
I also made a hat and scarf set for my sister. I used the Divine pattern for the hat and Simply Soft yarn. It was a little more light weight yarn than I realized but it certainly is soft. Then I grabbed some fleece yarn I’ve had for years and made a scarf to match the hat. I bought the fleece yarn years ago with the intention of making a scarf for my sister and I’m happy that’s what it was used for eventually. I had a skein of white and one of variegated white/blue. The yarn was hard to work with because it’s fuzzy and the base of the yarn is a tiny string with the fuzz coming off it. The scarf is about 6ft long and I tried not to make it too wide since the current fashion is skinny scarves. The scarf is snuggly and I hope she likes it. I don’t have a photo yet and my camera battery died so it’s getting revived at this moment. I’ll add a photo later.
