FO: Scrappy Hackysacks

I don’t feel like crafting right now.  But I did make these in the morning for some kiddos who keep losing my hackysacks.  (Okay, it’s not just kiddos losing them.  A certain person and I may have lost one while trying to hit one another…  Maybe, maybe not.  Haha.)

I tripled up some fingering yarn to make these.  Nice way to use up scraps…  If I had known I only had enough to make about half, then I would have made the original spiral hackysack, but I got half-way before realizing I wouldn’t have enough.

FO: Graduation Owls

I made 12 owls total, but one was given away last week because she was leaving early.  Oh well.

I went to work early to get the kiddos to hold my owls so I could take pictures.  They didn’t quite turn out the way I envisioned, but you get the idea.

The last picture was their suggestion.  They wanted to form a heart with the owls, so that’s what happened.

They loved it.  I mean… LOVED it.  They wanted to play with them right away, take a nap with them.  Their teacher said no, they could only play with them when they got home.  Hah.  At least they will be well-loved.

I will probably make more with my scraps.  They’re fun, and don’t require too much sewing!  Hurray!

Pattern: Baby Owl Ornaments (Rav link)

WIP Wednesday

I’ve been crocheting!  I tried to knit and it seems I have lost my knitting mojo for the moment.  Crocheting all the way!!!

I worked like crazy on these motifs over the weekend.  I want to get back to them, but I have something I want to finish first, so taking a break.

Rarity from My Little Pony.  I’m testing the pattern and it’s been… interesting.  She is a great designer, with a strong background in shaping crochet, so her pieces are awesome and well thought-out.  Unfortunately, I have a big, fat BUT as well.  C’est la vie.

Yarny Goodness!

This is a splurge for me.

30 skeins of Palette!  (There’s 2 more in the center bag.)

I’ve already started using the WOTA.  One skein down!

I can’t wait for these balls of yarn to become something beautiful.

WIP Wednesday

I’ve been crocheting lately.

Almost done with these two.  I’m going to make 10 more for my kids’ graduation gift.

I just got some yarn and I started on a test project.  One part down, many to go.

Close!

I’m so close to finishing…  Perhaps today will be the day!

WIP Wednesday

The goal is to finish the left sock by Saturday.  I started on Sunday.

I think I’m doing pretty well on that schedule, don’t you?
