First Finished Set

I just finished my first set of dishcloth/scrubbie combo and I love love love the end result.  One ball of cotton yarn made 2 scurbbies and one dishcloth.  I am giving these to my boyfriend, he is my product tester lol.  He is actually very excited to start to use these and I can't wait to see if they actually hold up. 

I used an H hook for the dishcloth and an I hook for the scrubbies.
It took the whole ball of yarn for these 3 

So now I have used to 2 full balls of yarn and have about 5 to go!  I am about to try a new dishcloth pattern for a diagonal dish/wash cloth.  Soon, I will be able to post about something other than dishcloths! haha

I can't wait to do the set for my mom using the green, yellow and white yarn I have been saving for her, she will love them!

Okay, I'm off to finish up these dishcloths!

Dishcloths and Scrubbies!

So, I was able to finally get some time and start up my crocheting again.  I figured I would start with some small projects and use up some yarn too....so I made some dishcloths and scrubbies with my over abundance of cotton yarn lol 

I found a simple pattern for the washcloth on this blog and they turned out really nice.  I absolutely love the ribbed look.  Next, I made some scrubbies out of some ombre yarn I had from sugar and cream.  They turned out better than I thought I would be able to do lol. 

I got the pattern for the scrubbies off of raverly.

I still have many more dishcloths and scrubbies to make, I'm thinking Christmas presents? lol 

My next project when I get bored of making these is coin purses! 

I am so happy to be crocheting again :)

Update On Things...

WOW!

 I can't believe its been almost a year since my last post.  So much has happened in the past year that I hardly have time to crochet, let alone blog about it lol

I have managed to squeeze in a few projects here an there...I kinda went a little hat/beanie crazy for about a week or so and I just made one more a few days ago.  They are my go-to project.  I enjoy something fast and that I can get done within a few hours.  I just wish I could perfect it so they come out the right size every time!

I really wish I could find a mentor around my area to help my master the things I want.  I have a pretty good grasp, and I can read patters, but I MUST be doing something wrong, oh well lol

I am in the process of trying to use up all my yarn that I have stored away.  I would really love to buy more, but I have no room for it and seriously, whats the point in buying more if I never use it?

So, I am determined to get a lot of things finished before I buy more yarn.  And I am dying to try I Love This Yarn from Hobby Lobby.  They have so many colors to chose from which is so much more that the Impeccable Solids from Michaels that I have been using.

Pinterest has been my go to for finding patters and ideas for new stuff to create.  I have some pretty neat things on there.  Here is a link to my crochet bored of awesomeness! 

My Pinterest Crochet Board

If you know of or have any interesting boards from pinterest let me know in the comments, I would love to find lots of new projects to add!

Hopefully I can start adding more to my finished projects page soon :)
