I've done lots of little things this summer. Well, and some not so little things. LOL
This is a headscarf I crocheted this spring. I wear it all the time. No pattern, I just played with some stitches. I need to make another! I really like it!!!
Super soft organic washies for some friends who are busy making babies! I love this yarn.
The washie on the left is knitted and the one on the right is crocheted. Blue Sky Alpaca color grown organic cotton:
Rember Shannon's post about the knitted Tesselating Fish pattern?

I just *had* to try it! It was pretty easy. I used bulky yarn, so it's a bit bigger than the pattern intented.
However, the completed fish is cupped. I wonder if it's supposed to do this? I guess it would add dimension to a quilt.
I also crocheted some grocery bags for us. We really need them! Our old ones are about 12 years old and have holes as big as my head! LOL Our food keeps falling out when we're carrying it to the car.
The first bag I made was too small for our needs.
I was too lazy to do all the math to make the bag bigger using the same needle, so I just grabbed my vampire stake size hook and went for it! LOL I used a size N
and made this one. It's hard to get a good picture of it, as it's rather floppy and stetchy:
Here they are side by side:
The pattern I used was the free one on the Sugar 'N Cream label.
Finally, I made a needle felted scissor holder. The body is felted wool and the decoration is needle felted wool roving. I love making these! I also made a leather sheath (not in picture) to protect the bottom of the case so the sharp scissor points don't poke a hole in it.
Not sure about my next projects. I've finished a lot "in progress" things, so I need some new inspiration. Time to stalk Knitty for the new summer patterns!!!!
Thanks everyone.
so happy to be 8
