One the Hard way or my random arm warmer


Size J Hook and half a skein of Vanna's Choice

This started out as the wrist warmer from Crochet that fits, but by the time I modified it to fit my forearm it definitely didn't look like Mary Jane's pattern. The problem arose when it came time to sew it closed, the wrist area is actually a bit loose, but the forearm wouldn't even close so I whipped out my hook and added four rows of varying lengths. This made it look a bit like the back of a skirt but it also allowed for a larger forearm. I did this because every since my surgery, cold makes my wrist hurt.

Rheatheylia's Cable Hat better known as Copper Cables

So, I've finished another item, yay me. It is Rheatheylia's now infamous crochet cables hat. I made mine from a coppery (looks straight up orange), 100% Peruvian wool, once again from the LYS. I took me about a week to finish and this is with random on and off working mostly on the bus. On Sunday, some random ass dude came up and asked if I was making a kufi.... I just gave him the stink eye and kept it moving. Now without further ado, Copper Cables

House Slippers


Ok so what the slippers are two different shades of blue lol I like them that way. I'm also like super ashy in this picture (I'm sick and it's cold lemme lone) I followed (loosely) a pattern from a forum on craftster. These suckers are warm and toasty, I used one strand of Lion Brand Homespun and a strand of worsted weight wool from my LYS (it's like multiple shades of blue same yarn as the wrist warmers). The pattern was supper easy and the only problem is I crocheted the darker slipper with an N hook (started ) and finished with a K so it's not as stiff as the light blue one which I worked completely with the K. Oh well Newbie-ness strikes again. What do ya think?

El Fin de Purple Passion

There it is the fruit of my labour lol. I actually finished it at about 3am Friday morning. I couldn't sleep so I decided to finish. My mother loved it. Now I'm off to work on some mittens, a hat, and a neck warmer (in the same purple). It's getting cold and I'm determined not to buy any knitwear accessories this fall/winter. The hat will be last as I need to figure out something big enough to hold may growing hair... any suggestions.
