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.

The animals in the trees

In continuation of the man in the tree here are some animals in trees:

Man in the Tree

I as walking one day with no one insight, I turned around and saw this man staring at me:

The lion and water

I am finished another scarf. This time it looks like a lion:



Who every wears this scarf will have a mane to roar around there neck.

As for the water I knit a möbius

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?

Question about crocheting with plastic

Do any of you have a suggestion on how I could use the granny square crocheted out of plastic?
These are the suggestions I have had so far:

• Coaster
• Shopping bag
  

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.
