Black and Neon Hats

I recently made three black and neon crocheted children's hats.  Here they are for you to see:

Re-entering the bloggest phare

I know it has been quite awhile since I last posted on this blog. I have been busy, but I was also breaking from using the Internet to its full extent. Alas, I am back!
Here is a picture of a square which I crocheted for a quilt (if you can call it that), which my hand weaving and spinning guild is making for our 60th anniversary. It is made out of hand spun merino and tencle yarn.

Back with a baby's hat!

You might have thought I had given up with this blog, but I have not. After a thesis paper, five exams, one graduation (and another coming up), moving and starting a new job I am back! About the same time I was finished up my thesis one of my friends had a baby girl. I had the cutest baby hat patterns, so I decided to make one for my friend's baby. Here is a picture of the hat:

Isn't it adorable with the little bow at the front?

Crocheting with plastic

Once again I am continuing with the recycling theme. In response to the website I found about crocheting plastic bags, today I decided to try it. I cut the bag into strips. After trying to join the strips to my work in the usual fashion and being unsuccessful I committed at crocheting no-no. I tied the strips together. Here is a picture of the granny square I produced.



Overall the experience was interesting, but would I try it again I am unsure.

Interesting . . .

This is just an interesting picture of a scarf I crocheted.

The Square

Here is a picture of the first granny square for the blanket with my roommate is making:

Pictures of Crocheting

A few weekends ago I was teaching my roomie to crochet. She wanted to make a baby's blanket for a friend who is having a baby. We started out by going to Wal*Mart to buy some yarn. We came back with some soft pink yarn in two tones.
She did quite well at her crocheting since I had already taught her the basic stitches. The first picture on the left is her starting to make a double crochet. The picture below is after the double crochet was completed.




When the square was completed it looked quite nice. Hopefully I can show I picture when the whole blanket is completed.

Part Two

Another Day

Well another day has come and gone. It seems as though all creativity has left me, so I think I will just show several pictures of my work:

Hanging around 2

This is my first post with words! In my last post I featured a picture of a scarf I made handing off the wall. I feel the picture is an excellent example of what I intend this blog to be - a place where I show off pictures of needle crafts I have constructed while 'hanging around.' In turn my readers can enjoy these pictures while they are hanging around. I hope that what you find here creatively inspiring.
