A Crochet-A-Long… You decide the project!!!!

.

Happy November!  I have been tossing around the idea of having a Crochet-A-Long starting in January 2014…  Since I am like all of you yarnies… I can’t decide what it will be… I always have tons of work in progress projects!  So what better than leave it up to Viewer Choice!!!!  You all were so supportive during the voting for the final Amazing Grace Pattern poll… I thought…hmmmm… Lets do another poll!!!!

.

So here are my thoughts… Start crocheting in January…I will make a fabulous design for us…  You choose what it will be!!!!  The winning vote will determine not only the project… but also the length of time!  A blanket may take a couple of months… A hat maybe a week…  Let’s have some FUN!!!!.

Voting closes December 15th, 2013

A Crocheter’s Dozen…

..

Last night I worked on just a few more items for the Artwalk… I tried to think of something I could make several of in just a couple of hours… Hmmm,,, Bracelets…  So, after I finished up my latest rug that I started the day before,,, I got to work on the bracelets!  I was inspired by a pattern I found at feltedbutton.com and decided to whip up a Crocheter’s Dozen of my modified version… You may wonder why I am calling it a Crocheter’s Dozen… Well, I couldn’t stop at just 12, so I made 14…  I wanted a good variety of colors and that’s what I ended up with!!  Baker’s add one to their dozen,,, So why not add two for us crocheter’s!

These bracelet’s are made from Cotton Yarn and a Size I Hook…   I used single crochet in the same pattern stitch as the one from Felted Button.  I added the button instead of a clasp and the loop at the end to go over the button.  Her pattern is easy to follow and I like the idea of the clasp,,, I just didn’t have any… So I winged it!  Each bracelet only took a few minutes and on a scale of 1-10,,  1 Easy-10 Very Hard,,, These are definitely a 1!

.

I also wanted to share the other project I finished up last night.  I have been making Rag Rugs for years and I love them so much… They are fairly simple to make and hold up great!  This Rug is 32″ across and is easy care…  Just wash and dry in your machine!   This rug took just a few hours and I was happy with the results!
