New hooks

Exciting day! I received two hooks plus a bunch of extra goodies from Hooks by Laurie Anne.

Gnome is celebrating 250 year anniversary of the Declaration of Independence. It's a semiquincentennial. 

Happy crocheting!

Teal scarf

Here's the first of the teal scarves. I was given several skeins of this yarn so I will be adding to this post as I finish them. There are no labels but the yarn looks to be the same color. I'm slow so it may take a while.

Himalayan Salt scarf

Yarn: Yarnspirations Caron Simply Soft Speckle in color Himalayan Salt, 100% acrylic.Skeins are 5 oz, 235 yards.

Hook: #7/4.5mm

Size: 5 1/2" x 64"

My thought was that the smaller hook would make close knit stitches for better warmth. It may have made a slight difference but of course made it smaller as well. I should have made my starting chain longer to make up the difference. People come in all sizes though so hopefully it will keep someone warm. 

Here's another scarf with this yarn. 6" x 63 1/2". This one was finished July 27. I just added the picture here since it's the same yarn. I'm actually making yet another one with this yarn that I may add when it's finished.

Here's the last scarf with this yarn. Size is approximately the same About 5 1/2" x 64". I had one skein and a leftover ball so I wasn't sure how far they'd go. I think I could have gone a little wider but it's done and hopefully will keep someone a bit warmer.

Thanks to my daughter for donating this yarn.

Happy crocheting!

Speckled scarves

Hook: H Santa hat in Bates style by Laurie Whitaker

Size: 6" x 64"

Pattern: 22 dc across. I think it's 120 rows. I finished this one tonight while watching Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. That's a long movie but I didn't fall asleep. :-)

Here's another with the same yarn finished 7-27-2026. I used a different hook (pictured).

Happy crocheting!

I liked the speckles! The yarn was fine. I think I only cut out one knot.
