What should I do?

I have been thinking a lot lately about what crochet item I should make next.  But I don't know what to do!  Maybe it is hard to choose because I don't have enough yarn to really begin another project...  I have a couple of projects that I have already started but have not finished yet and I kinda am not ready to tackle them either.  The yarn I have now is just scrap yarn and I can't even make a scrap yarn project because the yarns are so different from one another...  What should I do.  I don't really want to buy yarn but if I don't have yarn how can I crochet?  Maybe I should try another craft for a while until I get some yarn.  Maybe I will do that.

Long Red Curly Scarf.

This is a scarf that I just finished.  Please give me some feedback on whether or not it is nice enough to produce a pattern for.  I want to start selling patterns of mine that are completely original.  If you like it, below there are buttons on each of my posts.  Likable if you just think its ok, Loveable if you love it but wouldn't buy it and crochetable if you love it enough to buy the pattern and crochet it yourself.  Let me know if you would like to see any other photos of this scarf as well or would like to know what yarn I used.  I hope you love it as much as I do.

Brushed Crochet Bunny Slippers

First off I wanted to put a photo of the TV/computer screen that I hooked up that I posted about yesterday.  Here is a photo.  Notice how big it is compared to the keyboard and you will have some idea of how large the letters are when typing and/or reading messages!

Ok now I wanted to put a photo of some slippers on here that I made a while back for my Mother in law.  I made them out of Pattons Divine yarn in Chantilly Rose and Lion Brand Jiffy Solid yarn in Light Pink held together as one strand.  I used whatever hook was most comfortable.  I was inspired to make this slipper by a book that I have called Stitch N' Bitch Crochet, The Happy Hooker by Debbie Stoller.  She has a pattern for these type of slippers but I did not use her pattern I made my own type of slide on rather than a fitted slipper and used some buttons for eyes.  I used a pet slicker brush to apply the brushed crochet technique to the yarn.  There are some very good tutorials on Youtube that can show you exactly how to achieve this result.  The end result was super comfortable and uber cute!  Here are some pictures.  I hope these will inspire you to make some of your own.  You should they are worth it!

Happy Crafting!

New TV/Computer Screen!

So I'm super excited.  I just hooked my 37" LCD TV to my computer and am using it as a computer screen!  It's crazy huge and I have to sit like a mile away from it so I don't go blind!  I am going to get a wireless keayboard and mouse for it so its not all in my face I will put a picture on tomorrow because my camera isn't charged.  Everything I do now is an adventure.  It's great checking my Ravelry account!  Pretty soon I will figure out how to put a link on my blog to Ravelry so you can check all of the projects I have finished.  And I may or may not be selling things on Etsy pretty soon so keep reading to find out whats going on.  Thanks for stopping by!  Happy Crafting!

This is my Denim Blue Winter Hat and below is the matching scarf.  I crocheted this hat starting with the magic circle at the top.  I then used single crochet throughout the hat increasing as I saw fit.  This size was to fit a teen so I used my own head as a guide on whether or not it would fit or not.  I used a yarn of my choice for accent on the pom-pom and on the trim at the bottom.  The yarn I used for the body was Lion Brand Homespun Thick and Quick in Washington Denim.  It was such an easy and quick work... I think once I made time to sit down and do it, it only took 2 hours for the scarf and the hat.

As you can see I used double crochet for the rim of the hat and wove the accent color in and out of the holes.

Here is a close up of the pom pom as well.

Here is a picture of the matching scarf

I used the rib stitch on the whole thing and added the accent color to the end to make the tassles.

Hope you enjoyed this post... Happy Crafting!

Chocolate Sprinkle Scarf Finished!

I finished my scarf!  I made it a neck warmer/ scarf because I wanted to make it extra thick but only wanted to use one skein.  I love this yarn because it has no dye lot and I can get it anytime at Walmart.  It kinda reminds me of chocolate cake or brownies with sprinkles.  I used Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in Coffee Fleck.  I added some little faux crocheted buttons to the side and I am thinking about adding a little crocheted rose near the buttons but I'm not sure.  What do you guys think?  I love this thing it goes with every color, I am contemplating making a matching hat and gloves!  Here are the photos!

Finished Cat Sweater

I finished the cat sweater I was making!  I made it short on purpose like it was a shirt not long like a dress.  My cat Pepper likes it, but she's in heat right now and rolls a lot on the floor so it wont stay on her!  But here it is folks!  Happy Crafting!

She doesn't look very happy in this picture because she wanted to be playful and I wanted her to pose... I won.
