Hooking up

November 15, 2011 by Lynette

More crocheted creations completed since July:

A coworker saw the horrible Yoda and Princess Leia I made, and asked me to make a set of Star Wars softies. She gave them as a birthday gift:

Star Wars

Han Solo, Princess Leia, and Yoda

Clarice

Clarice by Kim Guzman, made with MeiMei bamboo in macaroon

I crocheted a pair of socks:

A pair of crocheted socks for me

I made a shawl – I called it “Finding Nemo in the Seaweed”. I landed up swapping it in the Ravelry “Karma Yarn swap” group.

I’ve played with making stitch markers, more tape measure covers, and even a shawl pin:

shawl pin and tape measure

shawl pin and tape measure for swap package

tape measure covers

Tape measure covers - replacements for defective ones

notions set

Halloween-themed notions set: "Nightmare Before Christmas" tape measure, "Nightmare on Elm Street" snips, and stitch markers

tape measure cover

I made a baby blanket – this will either be a gift for a friend or given to charity (haven’t decided which yet)

baby blankie

"Darling Duckies" baby blanket

potholder

"Skullholder" potholder - given in Halloween-themed swap

scrubbies

Two kitchen "scrubbies" (sponges) - one "spider" and one from hand-dyed cotton, for swap package

A coworker/friend “commissioned” ten hats for a group she’s in

hats

Ten "Tweflth Night" earflap hats

shawl

Shawl made for swap package

I tried my “hand” at dying again (and dyed my hands in the process).  I attempted to make “ecru” (natural) colored cotton into rainbow colors.  It didn’t turn out the way I hoped – but not half bad.  I made it into a kitchen set (scrubbies, dish towel, and potholder)

yarn

Hand-dyed yarn

kitchen set

Kitchen set - most likely will be my "prize entry" for a craft-along

I’ve always struggled with making mittens or fingerless mitts.  But I have them another try.  I had to modify the pattern as mine were turning out way too large – but they worked out okay

mitts

Fingerless mitts

neckwarmer

Matching neckwarmer/cowl

I’ve been planning on making the “Dragonfly Shawl” by Kristin Omdahl for ages – and even found yarn from Yarntopia Treasures in a colorway called “dragonfly” for it.  Finally got that done.

shawl

Dragonfly shawl (back)

baby blanket

Another baby blanket - for a gift or charity

Finally – just finished this little top that I made as part of a “Crochet-along” where we all used this pattern by Mary Jane Hall

top

Capped-sleeve top

      Thanks Kim! I ADORE your “Clarice” pattern. 🙂

    Nice completed projects!
    My daughter wants me to make her a blanket using a skull and cross bones theme. Did you chart yours out first or just roll with it?
    Making my own patterns isn’t something I do a lot of *because* I don’t have the patience for it. I’ve done it for my beadwork, and may be that is the problem. *LOL* Crochet should be easier!
    Love the tape measure covers. Those are cute! The Star Wars dolls are the bomb, too. That Dragon Fly shawl is gorgeous.
    Wow. 🙂

      Thanks Myra!
      I got the “skullholder” pattern from the book “The Happy Hooker” by Debbie Stoller. It also has a skull and crossbones sweater pattern, so you may want to check it out!

    […] to take off.  A coworker saw my sad attempt at Star Wars toys on Facebook and asked me to make some for her on commission.  I got a little better at it.  Meaning, these aren’t AS horrible as my first attempts. […]
