[Nfb-krafters-korner] What Crafts Are You Doing Now?

[Zimmer, Cindy]

I am working on a pair of crochet baby booties.  I have finished one so far.  I just finished my wicker basket that I learned from Joyce's class.  I think it turned out very nice.  It was a fun skill to learn.  I learned how to make small flowers out of wire and fingernail polish.  

I am in a couple of e-mail classes too.

Thanks,
Cindy

Hi all,

Just because ... I thought it would be nice to share what current projects people are working on.

I've recently signed up for emails from All Free Crochet. They send a ton of emails, but some of them are really fun, and fast, stuff you can make.

recently, I learned how to make a 5-minute crocheted heart. I've made a handful of them and have been giving them to my son to play with. I also slipped one into my hubby's jacket pocket the other day. My son took one of his hearts to school and played with it like a yo yo since I kept a long string attached to it. He asked me for a big blue heart so I made one from the Bernat Baby Blanket yarn.

I've been looking for patterns for baby sleep sacks or cocoons. I've thought of designing my own on the loom, but I think I found a crochet pattern I will try via crochet and then adapt on the loom (or the other way around). So, this is not a current project, but a future one I hope to do.

I also just bought yarn for a Puerto Rican flag lap blanket I want to make for my grandma who is the crocheter in the family. I have to make two because my great grandma is turning 100 in June and we're going to the party. I can't make my grandma a blanket and nothing for my great grandma.

So, I've got two future projects, but am currently working on two as well...no three...

I had to rip out about 9 rows of the heart afghan Debbie taught in January. I just started looming it again.

I am two fifths of the way done with a star-shaped blanket I'm making for my son or the family. It's in preparation of making the white star on the Puerto Rico flag.

And finally, I found an easy scarf pattern on All Free Crochet that is called a Classic Strap scarf. I'm making it 1 in a half times wider since I felt 8 chanin stitches across using a K hook was too narrow. I started it last night instead of going to bed. I'm using Denim Mist, which is from Lion Bran, I think it is Jiffy? Anyways, it uses a unique pattern of single crochet and then double crochet repeated across the row. I've done about two inches and will keep working on that as my BART ride craft project.

Okay, what are all of you doing?

LM
