New suprises!

When a person states "I have craft projects I may NEVER finish" on a dating website profile, She shouldn't be surprised when she finds unfinished projects she forgot about.

While digging a sick cat out from under my bed I found a small plastic tote. Inside was the most GAWDAWFUL red heart variegated yarn. Rainbow colors...all of them. attached to that skein was a crochet hook and a mostly finished loopy scarf that was started 2 years ago. When goofy, brightly colored loopy scarves were trendy.


Best I can do for instructions are
Double crochet a Base that is 7 stitches wide and however long you want your scarf to be.
chain 10, sc around bar of DC chain 10... (continue ad nauseaum until the end of the scarf).

I guess you can make it loopier with more chains or tighter with less.

Here it is, I have about a foot left of a 5 ft long scarf.


Ok so variegated yarns and I seem to be attracted to each other like chocolate on a toddlers white t-shirt. Here is a standing dice bag made with Sugar and Cream cotton yarn. yes variegated but I like how the colors lined up on the bigger one lol. These were single crocheted in the round for friends of mine that had dice and gaming tokens and floppy bags that tipped over, i started by making a coaster and going straight up the sides with a DC row at the top and a chained string to hold it together. They look a bit like can coolies and i guess the pattern could be extended longer for a water bottle holder too.



That's it for now. Will post about the new ribbon yarn I found at Dollar Tree in another post (once I have a finished project to show it off).
