A few crochet projects in the works

 Hello All, I hope this finds you doing well. I've been crocheting on some of  a friend's late mother projects that she gave me a couple of weeks ago when I helped her clean up her craft room. I found a few fingerless gloves that she had started and I am trying to finish them up. They were put on hold for a week or 2 so that I could participate in a crochet a long ( CAL) over on youtube.


These 3 ladies are wonderful to watch and I am subscribed to them, they are hosting the CAL. 

Spring- The Fiber Enthusiast

Bailey Nuchter Cat on the prowl Creations

Life and Yarn Tangled 

Please go check them out, they have lots of tutorials and other things on their channel. I'm sure you'll enjoy them as much as I do. 

I found out about the CAL around Oct. 15th and started a rectangle wrap using a pattern that another lady that I am subscribed to talked about in her video, her channel is Bella Uncinetto

This lady also has lots of videos to check out. Please go over and give her channel a look as well. 


The pattern for the CAL I chose is the Omna Shawl, mine isn't as long as the one in the pattern, I used Caron Big Cakes in the colorway nightberry and it's 603 yards per cake. 

I finished this in about a week maybe going on 2 weeks, I worked on it every evening after work.
They will be showcasing everyone's finishes around the first part of Nov. CAL ends Oct. 31st.
I'm sure they will have others in the future.

Now onto the fingerless gloves. I finished a couple and actually crocheted my own pair in black
They are ribbed crochet fingerless gloves. 




I think that's all for now 
Until Next Time...
Happy Stitching and May you have smokin' needles...xxx

Stay Strong! You got this!

A few crochet projects in the works

 Hello All, I hope this finds you doing well. Work is still busy  so hanging in there and here the best I can. I've been finding new projects to work on as well as a few of the WIP(s)


Found a nice simple tote bag using the half double crochet stitch, I'm using  Red Heart Super Saver in Macaw.


Crocheting a smaller tote using CraftSmart Value yarn  in black as well




the strap/handle is single crochet 34 rows

Also learned how to do a spider web, made a small one in purple to see how well I liked it and I have to say, it's easier than it looks following this youtube channel Llama Mama Kayla

Using the same yarn Purple I'm going to make a large blanket size one

I also made 2 cowls

Using the pattern from 
Knit and Crochet Ever After
^ this one is using a hand dyed hank of yarn from Crochet in Agreement on Etsy  the yarn is called Be Nice ^ 


This one is using Caron Cupcake Yarn in Nouget. I don't think I will be using this brand of yarn anymore due to it scratchiness. 100% acrylic. one of the worse ones I have used in a very long time. I'm use to acrylic and most brands are soft and easy to work with. I suffer from dry hands in the fall and winter and this one just did not feel good to work with at all. Thankfully it was the only skein I had. I can find different brands most likely in this colorway but much softer especially for a cowl. 

Would you consider buying me a coffee?
