Yarn along

It's been a couple weeks since I have posted anything knitting or crocheting related. So I have a few things I want to share that I have completed the past couple weeks.

First is the crocheted market bag. I finish that up shortly after I had posted about it a couple weeks ago and just haven't got around to putting it on. It's a simple pattern that's fast and very practical. I ran out of variegated yarn I started with, so ended up adding some from my stash. It wasn't a variegated like I started with but I think it worked out pretty well. You can get the pattern here where I had posted it earlier.

Then I made a pot scrubber because 

I have been using this one for so long as you can tell it's falling apart. And I really needed a new one. 
So again I'll give you the instructions on how to make this pot scrubber. They're perfect for using on pots and pans that you do not want to scratch in anyway but clean very thoroughly.
Here are the instructions for 3 scrubbers
need  

1 1/2 yds of 72" netting, cut into 2" strips
J or K Crochet Hook


For each scrubber, join six strips in a long strip with a loosely tied double not to make one long strip.


Chain 4 and join. Crochet 2 sc in the backstitch of each chain, and without joining, continue with 2 sc in the back of each sc, and continue and around until you reach the second double knot.


Hold knots in back of work. 1 sc in each stitch (Backloop only) until you reach the last knot.


Sc 4 more stitches and turn work inside out. Sc in every other stitch to close. Stuff any left over netting inside scrubber


As for my shawl, I'm still working on it and I haven't completed it yet but I'm on the last section to complete. Hopefully I'll have it done in the next week or two.

And what I'm reading, is this months periodicals. Have a lot of catching up to do on them.

Want to thank you for coming by and see what I have been working on. I hope to enjoy seeing what you have been working on to

    Nice! I always thought cotton and acrylic scrubbers wouldn't work very well, but those work great!

    The market bag is stunning. Thanks for sharing the pattern for a pan scrubber, very useful.

Welcome friends to share a thought, I enjoy reading them and will try my best to reply back by email most of the time. But if you do not hear back it's because you are a no-reply blogger.

How to Make a Portable Design Wall

I had wanted to get a portable design wall to take to retreats but did not want to pay the price. Looked at various pins on pinterest and took ideas from more than one to come up with my verison. It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...

Yarn Along 2/20/13 Spoon Pin Doily

It's snowing here and I know some of you are tired of snow but here we will take the moisture any way we can get it. Plus it just gives me a reason to stay in and work on some of my projects. In this picture I'm not sure if you can make it out but in the background there are some wild turkeys that hang around the house sometime, just  chilling This project I'm working on is Spool Pin Doilies.   I had never heard of them before until Bonnie Hunter had mentioned it on her blog . She a had a viewer send her one for her sewing machine along with a pattern. I did not like the pattern but loved the idea so I decided to make up my own version. I wanted a more simple, smaller and fuller doily. So I tried different thread sizes to get one that I like. (From left to right) I tried sock yarn, which I'll redo because I think I like that look. Heavy weight crochet thread, nope too big Bamboo yarn, I like it. Looks good on my Kenmore. Pearl c...
