OK, try again. The Masters of the Blogiverse saw fit to eat my previous post...let's hope I can remember all that witty reparte...
So, it was something, something about-- OH, yeah, the dangling knitting project. It was this cool idea I had about crocheting with garland!!
But, I've decided to punt it to next year. I just bought some thinnish garland and some beaded rope from Target and chained the garland until it looked like it would make a wide enough circle to be an evening bag, then crocheted around and around until it was big enough. You would then sew up the bottom and attach the strap (as short or as long as you like!) Just make sure that you keep your stitches very, very loose otherwise, it gets choked up and you could break the garland and need to re-join. But even that ain't no thang but a chicken wang...the garland is very forgiving of mistakes....
Still, I feel like I'm in the knitting doldrums, but somehow there are two and a half FO's in my house...a sock...
this hat I made for my Hubby...
and this hat for me...
These are my cheat sheets...
Since I'm a teacher, I love to laminate (or maybe it's my love of laminating that brought me to teaching, hard to tell)--- ask anyone, it's my weakness. If there's something that can be laminated I won't be afraid to do it=) I laminated each step of this, the Unoriginal Hat (in pdf format) from the Yarn Harlot, that way, I can just flip to the next step and always know where I am. An added bonus is the gift tags I found on sale at Target's post Chrismas sale, I can attach a bit of the yarn I used to it and write down the name and date too.
*As soon as Blogger will let me up load pictures you can see some of these lovely images (tbhthththt!!! neener neener neener!!!)
