Crochet quickie

This is a mauve hat that I made for my January Exchange partner. The large rose pin with fun fur is one that I've had for a long time and just threw it on there for the pic.

Below are 4 and 6 inch granny squares that I made just to see what the colors looked like together. The left one is teal and bright yellow.

I've been crocheting a multi-color scarf that I'm going to donate. Finished a Grey Heather one before that and also started making a tote bag for myself.

A couple days ago I received a very nice, non-generic letter of gratitude from the executive director of Norman C. Sleezer Youth Home regarding the donations I made last month. This morning I wrote to the Hanes company requesting donations of socks, panties, and bras for the residents of the facility. Hopefully my email will get a prompt response. I've continued to crochet more items to be donated to the foster home as well as finding things around the house that I no longer want or just don't use.

I need to finish two of the walker/wheelchair totes that I made last week or whenever.

I'm hungry and my feet are cold and I have to go watch The Waltons and crochet. Bye!

While I was gone

This is the scarf & hat set that I made for my male eating buddy while I was on my recent introvert vacation.



I chose Red Heart brand acrylic yarn in Coffee and Aran Fleck. The hat is double stranded for extra warmth. I used every stitch except for triple crochet.



That is the first set I'd made. Kinda strange that I'd never made a coordinating set unless I have and just can't remember.

Now I'm on a roll with crocheting matching sets. I've been making a yellow child's scarf to go with the hat I made because I felt like using the yellow yarn. After I make that I'm going to make a blanket and then another blanket after that.

Bunny's first crochet

Either this motivated bunny taught itself how to crochet or that's the project I started working on earlier today on the sun-warmed porch. With the intention of making a blanket in the same color as the bunny, I started using Paris a.k.a. Bushy Stitch. It's a beautiful stitch pattern with a lot going on in one chain. Think it burns calories.

Today I found out that my female pen pal who lives in South Korea received the package that I sent to her a couple weeks ago. I sent several handmade crafts as you can see below. A white rose black ink pen, a sparkly pink rose pin, a bookmark, a mini gift bag made with chenille yarn in Antique White, 3 face scrubbies, 3 hair scrunchies. Left click for a closer look.

I recently made this pretty pink & grey hat for someone using Caron Simply Soft yarns. I just need to weave in the ends and away it can go to its intended owner.



















A decorative scarf that I started several weeks ago using Simply Soft "Bone" and Bernat Matrix ribbon yarn in Natural Network. I'll pick it up and finish it when I get into a finishing zone. It's in a box in my bedroom with a few other items that need to be finished.












Slate Blue brushed acrylic yarn transformed into a hat. I just wanted to use up the yarn to see what it looked like. Going to donate the double-stranded hat somewhere, somewhere.

Today I'll probably finish the last few rows of the sweater I've been making and decide which sweater pattern I'll start on next.
