Crochet starts and finishes.

 Hello All, 

       I hope this finds you doing well and staying cool, The temps here have been up to the 90's with heat indexes of above 100, humidity is outrageous.


I'm working all I can and this is busy season , people are starting to travel more....

I'm doing my best to keep a normal routine going and I seem to be doing ok with it. I need normal under the circumstances. Normal keeps me grounded some what. 

I have a few starts and finishes in crochet and I actually pulled out a diamond painting which I haven't done in about a year, it was relaxing and time flew by....

I'm going to do my best to link where I found the patterns and/or stitches I've used in these some are youtube and some are blog post.

I believe most I have shown so I won't show those only the newest/recent ones I've done.




This is a super scarf using the block stitch that I recently learned to do.
Pattern - Super Scarf from Simply Collectable Crochet
Block Stitch - Block Stitch Tutorial


 I used a Fashion Bag 1lb.from Premier Yarns - Fashion Plus Bag

Next up I made my own Yarn Bobbins using dowel rods 3/8 inch
I had some yarns there were a tangled mess and decided to try and find a better way to manage them. I wound them on the hand made yarn bobbins using my old drill. crafty and frugal lol

Next is a few starts


This is going to be a Crochet Kerchief from The Crochet Crowd - Crochet Kerchief from The Crochet Crowd, I haven't learned the decrease yet but I'll be trying to finish this one soon. Most yarns I use I get on sale or on Clearance.

next photo is of 3 more starts....
This one will be a blanket/scarf possibly vest ^ on the left with the Caron O'Go yarn under it in Chocolate Ice- on clearance $3 at Michaels. The Middle blue/grey is a tweed type yarn Barcelona Big! from Loops & Threads(Michaels Brand) also on clearance in the colorway Mist. and Last one on the right is Mainstays Grey from Walmart 1lb it's going to be a Kimono Shawl from Fiber Spider over on Youtube - Kimono Shawl Tutorial

That's all I have for now to show, These 3 projects are probably going to be long term projects, little at a time, I'll do my best to show updates .....

Until Next Time.....
Happy Stitching and May you have smokin' needles...xxxx
