Crafty Goodness Completed!

Well, I'm able to cross a thing or two off my crafty to do list, but, of course, I've found more projects that I need to add.  I'm hoping that the kids will entertain themselves a bit today so that I can get in some crafty time, when in reality, I should be cleaning!

The first is the hook case for my all my crochet tools.  I used some fabric I bought last year from an online shop (I think it was superbuzzy)  that specializes in Japanese fabrics.  I only bought a small bit, so this was the perfect project for it.  I teamed it with some tan linen and a pink ribbon closure.  I'm not crazy about the ribbon I chose, but it works!

The next project I finished wasn't on my list, but I love it so much!  I crocheted a cape for Mallory over New Years out of pink Cotton Tots yarn - I won't even show it to you now it looks so awful!  The yarn is so soft and pretty when you start, but before you are even done with a project it looks dirty and worn.  Also, I used a pattern I found on Ravelry, but it was done in the treble stitch, which I am not in love with.  

After searching for a new pattern and not finding exactly what I wanted, I decided to make my own pattern and the results are exactly what I was looking for!  Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures yet of her wearing it, but I will get some soon!

 

And last, but not least, my in progress scarf that I am attempting to knit!  It only has one dropped stitch (so far), but is curling terribly on the ends.  I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, as I am following the pattern, but I think I will just go with it for now.  I'm hoping to finish and wear it at least once before it gets hot again here in Florida!

 

I linked up my cape to Made By You Mondays on Skip to my Lou!  Check it out Here!

  2. Thank you for stopping by my blog and for your sweet comment.
    I am a bit jealous of all your crocheting. I am useless with yarn and just adore the toys and hair accessories you've made.
    Nice to "meet" you!
