black fleck scarf

I didn't realize how long it had been since I posted but really I haven't had anything new finished in a while. I did work on a few scarves but ran out of yarn before getting to a reasonable size so I put those aside. Here is one I did finish. I added a bit of black to each end to get it to size.


The hook is a size I by Laurie Whitaker. The black yarn is from my stash. The main color is Red Heart Super Saver in color Black Fleck. It was okay to work with. There weren't any bad spots or knots to cut out. It was a little stiff but that is all RHSS. It will soften when washed. The pattern is straight dc, ch 22 for 20 stitches on a row. Finished size is 7" x 65".

Due to my wrist pain I haven't been crocheting as much and I haven't bought new yarn so I'm using what I have on hand. I'll update when I have something to show you. 

Happy crocheting!

mint tea scarf

Hubby happened to be at Hobby Lobby and he picked up three skeins of I Love This Yarn print in Mint Tea for me. I think I can get two scarves out of it. Here is the first one.

Size: 6 1/4" x 62" 

Hook: Peppermint I hook by Laurie Whitaker

Pattern is straight dc. I chained 22.


Here's the second one. Same details except it's 63" long.



Happy crocheting!

Laurie hooks

    I was asked about my hooks and I'm always happy to show them so here are my Laurie hooks. There are 14 of them. I retook the picture to put all the Boye and Bates together by size.


Left to right:


    Olaf (snowman), Boye, Size 4.5mm
    Gnome, Boye, Size G
    Family hook, Boye, Size H
    Grinch, Boye, Size H
    Owl, Boye, Size H
    Peppermint, Boye, Size I
    Candy Corn, Boye, Size I
    Peeps, Boye, Size I
    Snoopy w/Christmas lights, Boye, Size I
    Road Runner, Boye, Size J
    Snoopy and Charlie Brown, Boye, Size J
    Snoopy in Santa hat, Bates, Size H
    Sands, Bates, Size H
    Porky Pig, Bates, Size J

    It's nice to have them all listed like this. I can tell exactly what I have -- in these hooks anyway.

So to summarize I have

1 Boye 4.5mm
1 Boye G
3 Boye H
4 Boye I
2 Boye J

2 Bates H
1 Bates J

I clearly need more Bates hooks!

Happy crocheting!
