Black Beanie - Just Started.

Again with the Lion Brand Hometown USA yarn. I took apart the Tetris Blanket and that's the yarn I've been using for these quick pieces.

Orange Scarf.

Practice piece for learning the arcade stitch. It came out pretty well but my rule is that first pieces are gifts, so this time...it's a giveaway!

First person to comment wins the scarf.


Made with Lion Brand Hometown USA yarn.

Olive Ruffle Scarf - Finished!

Yeah, that's me. I got my husband to take the pictures.

Pardon the mess, please. It was a long day.

Ruffled Scarf in Shades of Green.

This is similar to the olive-colored scarf, except instead of the double-treble three times for a big ruffle, I went for a more subtle ruffle by going around the rectangle with 2 dc in each dc, even along the small sides, and what I'm working on now for the third "round" is going over with just 1 dc in each dc so it's a big but subtle ruffle.

The jumble of the whole thing on my desk:

At first I was like...

...but then someone on (LJ)geekcrafts linked me to a binary translator and all those hours went to waste in seconds.

Oh yeah, I'm working on a fillet crochet blanket where the pattern is a poem by my best friend put into binary. Said friend will also be the recipient. (Said friend is, of course. Fizzy. <3)

Green and Yellow Drawstring Bag

Another drawstring bag along the basic lines of the other drawstring bags (Ya, I'm on a bit of a easy cute things kick), except this one has rows of fillet crochet and it alternates between green and blue Lion Brand Hometown USA yarn (seriously, I want a commission :P), and the bottom is a square. It was originally going to be a macrame-type container for an origami box made from not-quite-cardstock scrapbooking paper.

I love projects that can be made using the gray hook, the kind that sometimes comes with a bigger blue hook. I'm not sure what letter it is.






What do you think, should I add a gauzy (white, probably) fabric to line the inside so it's better able to hold small things like coins that fall to the bottom of one's bag?

Warm Colors Drawstring Bag

This one was really quick to make so I didn't take pictures mid-project. I used the same basic pattern as with my other drawstring bags, except this one was done with three yearns--red, orange, and yellow Red Heart Super Saver yarn--at once.
