Crochet Frenzy - Day 3

The last of the photos of the donation scarves and hats.




If you are curious, most of the yarn was acquired at BIG LOTS for $1 t0 $3 a skein. A steal for the Lion Brand yarn, as well as some of the other yarn. Some items were made from yarn I purchased for another project. I counted 19 scarves, 1 hat, and 12 hat/scarf combination's.

Now all I have to figure out is how to get them to Paula in Devon by the end of October!

QUESTION OF THE DAY: Yesterday I asked about your WORST memory of a handmade itemfrom childhood. How about telling me about your BEST today? I think mine were the smocked dressed my aunt Emily made for me when I was six to nine years old. How about you??

Crochet Frenzy - Day 2

MORE examples of hats and scarves made for donation. More to come tomorrow before we get back to sewing!

More hat and scarf sets for donation.

Hard to tell on the one below, but there is a hat on the left.

QUESTION OF THE DAY - I remember a wool knit hat when I was a kid that itched and scratched and was terrible - even worse, it tied under the chin and scratched there. That was the worst hand-crafted item I've ever owned. What is your WORST MEMORY of a handcrafted item from childhood?

Crochet Frenzy - Day 1

I've spent a lot of the summer in a crochet frenzy! My friend Paula in Devon is part of a group that prepares holiday boxes for children in eastern Europe. A local charity actually travels there and presents the boxes. They usually include a scarf and hat in the box.

SOOOOOO I decided making hats and scarfs would be a great way to practice my crochet again. I've gone a bit nuts, so this is going to take a few days to show. First up, the sets of hats and scarfs I've made.
