Life of the Lintee Bean

I’m still crocheting… for the most part, it still serves as a relaxing hobby – except for those times I get super frustrated and want to throw the yarn and the work-in-progress and everything else out the window. Those are the times I need to take a deep breath, a big step back, and remember I took this up to RELAX. It doesn’t have to be perfect, or even GOOD. The finished object isn’t even particularly important – I needed something that allowed me to turn my brain off for a while and rather than try to save the world (or just one cat in it) do something selfish and “meditative” in a way.

Here are my finished objects for your viewing pleasure, or displeasure, or amusement:

Menstrual cup cozy

Towel ring for Jennys birthday gift

Towel topper, also for Jenny's birthday gift

Cat carrier cover, also for Jenny's birthday

My big fat wedding shower tote bag - gift for my niece's wedding shower

Dishcloths, also for my niece's wedding shower

Sparkly little evening bag, which I used at my niece's wedding

My first garment! A bit large... but hey, it's wearable!

Silly psychedelic slippers

Purse with two removable covers

Second cover

My second garment - a tank top

The shrugly shrugh - this did NOT turn out, but I wear it anyway

A fun little pouch for my tissues

Necktie scarf

Fluffy cascade scarf

Lavender lace scarf, for Merril's birthday (she got earrings & a bracelet too)

My mulberry bolero - I chickened out and stopped early - so cropped with short sleeves, but I like it!

My boucle bolero - not thrilled with it, but it's wearable!

Hooded scarf - for Jenny's Christmas gift

I’ve got two projects in the works at the moment… I’ll try to post pictures more regularly, so I can bore you more often for shorter spurts of time. As you can see, my crochet skills leave a LOT to be desired!

   I especially like the mulberry bolero and the psychedelic slippers. Wanna pair of psychedelic slippers! (Note to self: must learn to crochet. Note #2 to self: you tried, remember? You were useless). Very impressed with all these pieces! Ax

     Annette, the slippers were EASY!
     I modified the pattern a bit to add the strap, but it’s a free pattern here:

       Well they do *look* easy – but that’s probably to lull me into a false sense of security! Still, I do have the yarn and a crochet hook around somewhere, so maybe…

   […] second attempt at a shrug I’d made a year ago.  Not perfect, but better than the shrugly shrug I made the first time!  Progress! Second […]
