Blue Scrunchie
I don't even really remember where I got this pattern, but I did get it off of a list from the internet. At least, it started out as a pattern, but as most things that I work on, it deviated from that pattern somewhere along the way. It was my first project that I managed to complete without getting entirely disgusted and abandoning. I sat down at stitchguide and figured out the stitches needed, and just sort of went from there. I finished it in about an hour, and was thinking about another one, which was completed, and that I will get a picture of as soon as I find it. To do this, I used a Boye F-Hook, and Red Heart Windsor Blue yarn. I believe the stitch used mostly throughout is hdc. |

Blue & White Scarf
I started this scarf as an experiment. It's entirely freehand, and partially due to the problems I was having with making regular horizontally striped scarves. I posted to the crochet group on Livejournal, and a poster talked about her vertical-style scarves. So I tried it out. This was the result. I'm not sure about the length, but it does reach to my knees. It has no fringe, and it was made with the Red Heart Windsor Blue & Soft White yarns. The stitch I used throughout was hdc and was done entirely freehand. |

Blue & Orange Scarf
I was browsing through A. C. Moore's when they first opened, and I had been looking for yarn like this. When I saw some, I grabbed it up and took it home. This was originally supposed to be a Ravenclaw scarf, but now that I have figured out the colours properly, I'll just call this an Auburn University scarf. It's proper for this region as well as for me. In this, I was able to conquer the problem I mentioned about with the horizontally-striped scarves. There are 19 rows, and there will be some attached at the ends as soon as I figure out how to fringe. As I said on the main page, I'm a beginning crocheter, and there's so many styles I still need to figure it out This was done with a Boye F-hook, and TLC (by the makers of Red Heart and oh so soft) Navy and Copper yarns. The stitch used throughout is hdc. |

Faded Blues Afghan
As it's shown, I'd done a lot of work on scarves and the like, so I finally got tired of it all and wanted to do something different. This afghan is going to be bedspread-length for my twin bed, and is made of three strands, each a different shade of blue. I was wondering what I was going to do with the small skeins of yarn I picked up on sale at Michael's when I got an idea and started working on it. It's been going for a while now, so I don't know when it'll be finished, but hopefully it'll keep going so that sometime this century I'll be This will be done in varying shades of blue Caron and Red Heart yarns, using a Boye Q-hook, and done throughout in dc. |

Pale Blue and White Lapghan
So I had some yarn from a couple of projects that I actually got sick of working on and just frogged the hell out of. So I was left with this yarn that was in some cases just knotted together, and just in general not for use in something that I'd start anew. I had an idea of throwing a couple of lapghans in the car for use during travel, and mostly to be used by me rather than given away as gifts, so this seemed the perfect use of this yarn. These two yarns, they look well together, and look like something I'd use a great deal anyway. It's only a couple of rows in, but it's getting there. This will be done in Red Heart Country Blue yarn and Caron Off-White yarn from the one pound skein, and is being worked with a Boye P-hook. This will be done entirely in dc. |

Purple Bag
Bag pattern taken from here and adapted for my own use. I carry around a crocheted bag (that was a gift from a friend) to tote my medicine in, and it was suggested to me that I make one for presents. Only problem is that I wouldn't know where to begin with such a bag. I was still thinking about it when my father teased about it taking a rather large bag to hold all his medication. So I found that pattern and started to work on the bag. I probably have enough of the basics down so that I can fully adapt for other bags for the rest of the family. They will probably be more plain than that bag is, and I'm not actually using the varigated yarn suggested in that pattern, but to each their own. This is being worked in Red Heart Amethyst yarn, with a Boye I-hook, and with a pattern of dc and fpdc as mentioned in the pattern, only adapted. Right. |
