Fetching Fetish

I have recently fallen in love... with the Fetching pattern by Cheryl Niamath I found on Knitty. I am still new to working in the round with double pointed needles and new to cables, so I thought these would be hard to do. But they turned out to be so easy that I have made three pair now! My 12 year old granddaughter wanted a pair in hot pink... those were my first. Then my youngest daughter wanted a red pair-- then my oldest daughter wanted a pair! I chose a sage green wool for hers, since she left the choice up to me. I think they all turned out great and they loved them, too. Now to cast on a pair for myself to keep my hands warm in my chilly office this winter!

FO to Share

I finally remembered to take a photo before gifting one of my creations! This is a Rasta inspired shoulder bag I created for my youngest daughter. No pattern-- I just winged it! It measures aproximately 9"x12" and is made with Caron Simply Soft in single crochet. (It was an easy, mindless crochet project for watching TV!) I used a G hook so it made a nice tight fabric that I didn't need to line. I did hand sew a zipper in the opening to keep the contents safely inside. DD loved it and carries it all the time, which is the best compliment I could get from her!

A New Beginning

This blog is a new beginning for me. When I started my blog a couple of years ago, it had no direction. After reading tons of blogs written by other people, I have decided to dedicate my blog to my longest lasting hobby... the way I manage to keep my sanity in this crazy world: crochet.
