Updates, Updates, Updates

 Well, I call this an update and it is? But I don't feel like going into the heavy details as far as where I've been so I'll just say that I'm sorry for abandoning this blog and my three fans of it.

I will try to do better in the near future.

I might revamp this and separate my boring, every day posts from the crafty ones.

I've gone through so many projects, I have no idea where to begin. I'll try to have each blog entry focus on one project at a time unless I frogged it. 

The last entry that concerned crocheting was about two projects I was working on: a BFF crochet-a-long and a surprise for my husband's nephew. Both have long since been frogged. I've restarted that flag blanket so many times and each time, I stop and move to other things. It has nothing to do with my friend because I love her to death and I want nothing more than to crochet alongside her. I'm just a serious procrastinator and also, she has a term for what I do but I can't remember it. I love to start things, be it crocheting, cross-stitch, or even a story. But finishing? You can forget it! LOL

This is why I have so many WIPs, crocheting, and stories.

Alright, enough of my rambling. I guess I can go through my Ravelry projects and go from there.

The earliest project I posted on there was a shawl I made for a friend. It wasn't my first completed crochet project, that honor goes to these mittens. Those poor mittens; I will definitely remake them in the near future, now that I'm more experienced.


Also, this was before I knew how to take pictures apparently! 😂 Unfortunately, these were the only pictures I have of this shawl. I want to try out something a little different when I post about a project so here goes.


Pineapple Lace Shawl

Found In: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/pineapple-lace-shawl-3 (actually, I downloaded a free ebook from All Free Crochet called "16 Crochet Shawl Patterns". This site has a TON of free patterns and free ebooks to grab.

Hook Used: J/6mm/Possibly Boye

For: One of my best friends

Started: Sometime in 2014

Finished: Jan 24, 2015

Yarns Used: Caron Simply Soft Eco- Dark Sage


I don't remember much about this project except for the fact that I was excited to have finished it. She seemed happy to receive it but I've never seen her wear it since. I'm not one of those who need to physically see you wear what I make for you or even buy you but not gonna lie, it helps a bit because it shows that you really care about it.

Regardless, I will make this shawl again and this time, I will take better pictures! 

A reminder that I will always give credit where credit is due so if you don't see a link then the pattern is my own which... I only have one so there's that! 

Happy Hooking and Stay Safe!

  Easy Listening Ear Bud Covers Found In :  https://www.allfreecrochet.com/Organization/Easy-Listening-Ear-Bud-Covers Hook(s) Used : D/3/3.125 mm (Boye) For : Self Started : .... ?? Finished : March 19, 2015 Yarns Used: Caron Simply Soft Party- Purple Sparkle So, here's the thing. I was going through my Ravelry account and using that as a reference as far as these posts. The problem is that I have other projects that I've completed not on Ravelry, and the only pictures of said projects are on Deviant Art. This is one of them. I'm certain that this pattern didn't take me long at all and possibly started it the same day I finished. Also, I'm not so sure about the size of the hook that I used. Remember that horrible party yarn? Yeah, I had a lot left over and decided to try to use it up. This picture is trash so you can't really see the sparkle. Maybe a little. Regardless, this simple project gave me fits because of the yarn, alone. I provided a link but be warne...

Super Mario Mushroom

 (I'm only bombarding with posts because I know that it will be another three months before I remember I have a craft blog...) Mario Brothers Mushrooms Found In :  http://wolfdreamer-oth.blogspot.com/2009/05/mario-brothers-mushrooms.html Hook(s) Used : G/6/4 mm (Susan Bates) For : Whoever Started : April 15, 2015 Finished : April 15, 2015 Yarns Used: RHSS- White RHSS- Cherry Red RHSS- Black My first amigurumi and I didn't do too well on it. Nevertheless, there you have it: a Super Mario Bros mushroom! My next post will be a small tip about amigurumis so look out for that one. You don't need that much black, only enough for the eyes. And because I can't sew to save my life, my white "circles" came out horribly. When I posted this on Deviant Art, a buddy challenged me to make even more and have a little army of these guys! I should make that one of my New Year's resolutions... This mushroom was kidnapped by the youngest niece so there's no telling where ...

Memphis State Slouchy

 Not even gonna apologize for the bombardment... Diagonal Shell Slouch Beanie Found In :  https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/diagonal-shell-slouch-beanie Hook Used : K/6.5mm For : Self Started : Feb 12, 2015 Finished : Feb 12, 2015 Yarns Used : Red Heart Super Saver- Royal RHSS- White RHSS- Heather Gray Unfortunately, this pattern is no longer available digitally. I can't remember exactly where I found this pattern and I've gone through all of the patterns I've saved on my computer and crochet bookmarks. I can tell you that it was finished in an hour, maybe two so it was at the time, the easiest hat pattern I had worked. The problem is that back then, I had no idea how slouchy hats worked and stuffed all of my dreads inside of the hat. I complained that there wasn't much slouch and now: duh, Jay- you wore it absolutely the wrong way! To be fair, that makes me not a slouch hat fan and I prefer regular beanies. Anywho. Happy Hooking and Stay Safe!
