WIPs

My scrap yarn blanket. It's similar to a granny square. Done in all dc around the box with 3 dc ch2 3dc in the corners. I have no restrictions on yarn as far as weight. If I use something in smaller weight in 1 row I use a bulkier weight in the next to even it out its working pretty well.. I'm also currently collecting small amounts of scraps on all my x-mas projects and I'm joining them to make hippy style hats for myself.

This isn't really a work in progress but its more of I plan to make one of these again after x-mas. I really loves how my plastic bag purse came out & I have started collecting the extra thick bags for another. Grocery bags worked fine but I really like how smooth the finished product was with the thicker bags.

Halloween Hats

some hats I made & sold over halloween with my knify knitter. The pumpkin has a crocheted stem, leaf & vine. The grapes hat has crocheted balls, leaf & vine. On the candy corn had I removed it from the loom using the square toe method you use when making socks.

Craft Swaps

Oh how I missed craft swaps.....I think I stopped for too long & now I'm over compensating for lost time.
Here are some things I made lately.
Dollar store swap:
I made a scrapbooking tote & wallet out of 4 dishtowels
and some knitted slippers using this loom pattern.

Which you can use the small blue knifty knitter to make.

For my tiny little dog swap I made a cute little treat jar with my swap partner's dogs name on it. The doggie bones on top were sealed with Modge Podge which actually makes a pretty good lacquer after a couple coats. Then I made a retractable leash saddle bag. I think I may make another one of these for next summer. It came out a little wonky because I was working without a pattern & had only seen one in a catalogue once but it works. Next time I think I will just make 1 big elastic loop then attach the pockets. Anyways what this is for is to carry treats, poop bags, your keys, or even to have a little water bowl for the dog. I also made some little puppy size squeekers out of felt. And the doggie shirt was made from 1 fleece scarf. I cant believe I got that much fabric from 1 scarf I may have to make another one for chiquita.



I'm currently in a Hat/Glove swap. I hope my partner likes the stuff I made I thought it was a pretty cool idea, I'm just worried if the color stitch combo may be too much. I swear I'm becoming more conservative as I get older its so weird.
I'm also in a World of Warcraft swap for chuckles. Can I just say GRRRRRRRRRR at trying to come up with ideas for something you have no clue about. But honestly I think the stuff I have made is pretty creative since I have no clue about anything on that stupid game.
