Plastic canvas crosses

I changed it up this weekend and worked on plastic canvas crosses.

I bought the crosses a long time ago so I don't remember where I got them. I see them at Amazon  though so if you want to make them you can possibly get them there. 

These are so easy to make and take just a minute or so to do. I cut strips of yarn. 

Happy crocheting!

Batik Swirl Meadow

I had a few skeins of Stylecraft Batik Swirl in shade 3736 Meadow and decided to continue with scarves using these. I used my Bella Coco Athena G hook which came all the way from the UK (Thanks, Sarah Jayne). 

This yarn is 80% acrylic and 20% wool so I put a tag on it noting the wool content as some might have allergies.

I chained 25 and used straight dc for 140 rows.

I worked on these while quite sick with a respiratory virus hubby brought home from a recent trip. It took no concentration but gave a nice finished look with pretty colors.

I'm still working on getting rid of this illness but doing a bit better.

Happy crocheting!

Scrap scarves

Here is the next batch of scrap scarves. One is a little shorter in length but the rest are 60" or longer.

As noted in the previous post, most of the scarves I've made so far have been made using Bev's WC scarf pattern. I chained 20 or 22 and worked 120 rows on most, more on some. (The shorter one has 114 rows as I ran out of yarn.)

I still have a bin of leftovers in #4 worsted and one in #3 weight. I also have some #1 weight. I'm working through it all since May 2023. 

Happy crocheting!

More scrap scarves

More scrap scarves! 

Most of the scarves I've made so far have been made using Bev's WC scarf pattern. I chained 20 or 22 and worked 120 rows on most, more on some. One of these I did with the griddle stitch just to do something different. These are all #4 worsted yarns though as you know not all worsted yarns are the same. 

All of the scarves I've made so far have been washed and put aside for when it gets cold.

Happy crocheting!

Scrap scarves

I thought I'd share a picture of my latest hook. It is by Laurie Whitaker. We all like owls. :-)

I took some "better" pictures of the scrap scarves I've been making. Hopefully, you can see the variety of colors in them. There are 11 in total so far. 

I still have plenty of leftover balls to work with and some whole and partial skeins still in my stash.

I started making items from my stash about May 2023 and have bought very little new yarn since then. I am amazed at how this has worked out. Lots of warm items made. 

Happy crocheting!
