scarves

Here are my latest two scarves

7" x 64" Knit Picks Brava Worsted in color Mulberry. Pattern is 24 dc across.
The hook is an H/5.0mm by Hooked by Holtby

7" x 62" 

I don't have labels on the rest of this donated yarn but they all look to be the same yarn. If so, it is Stylecraft Special Aran Teal yarn. The hook is an I Laurie hook.

This one is made in half double crochet. It is 24 stitches across.

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!

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.

Furls J/6.0mm silver streamline metal hook

Stylecraft Special Aran Teal yarn

chain 25, dc across for 120 rows

Size: 7 1/2" x 67"

Happy crocheting!

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!
