Just because its
summa time doesn't mean one should neglect wool. I love wool so much and with me being so fidgety, crocheting is my vice. Its a pretty well known fact around my town that I'm the girl to go to if you want something made. My hats are super popular and its not uncommon to see one on the head of a townie during the winter months. So being that its not exactly hat making season, I try and come up with alternative projects to keep my crocheting itch satisfied. I've previously explained about my golf club covers and how I have this one friend that every year asks me to make him one. So I made him a Grateful Dead steal your face cover and guess what? The assistant golf pro at our towns golf course requested one. And I have been asked to make another one for a friend who recently moved down to Florida. Wow I'm so stoked that the steal your face covers are such a hit. And I have to say that there might be one in the future for
yours truly.
Here is a side view of the cover
Sorry folks but
theres no pattern for this here beauty. As with almost all of my crocheted creations, I
free handed this. No patterns, no counting, just going with what I think works. And somehow it works. So this brings me to my next project. Granny Squares. This is probably the first time I've followed any sort of pattern. I found a video on
youtube which was extremely helpful so if you've got yourself 30 minutes to kill then I suggest you check out Diva Dan because he was extremely helpful
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Se5wWKRiWBY. So I've been crocheting my little squares away into what will eventually become a blanket. This is my first attempt at a blanket so its exciting and by doing the blanket granny square style I am able to work on it at Rick's bike races or down at the bike shop. My goal is to have the blanket done by Thanksgiving when the heat will go on in our new house. Stackin' em up!
Anyway I've got granny squares to crochet.
