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 :)

Yarn Haul!!

So, I have come to the realization that I have a serious yarn problem!  My bedroom floor is now covered in yarn, as well as my closet and a duffle bag.  At least they all were on sale when I bought them.  

Michaels was having a door buster sale last week and had their Loops and Threads Impeccable on sale for $1.88 a skin! And today they had them 2 for $6 as well as Red Heart Soft.  So I treated myself.  I also got some Lily's Sugar and Cream yarn at Jo-Ann Fabric for $2.36 a skin ( it was the super size ), normally $2.99 plus I got 20% off the entire purchase...SCORE!

Now that I have all this yarn, I MUST get to work on my projects.  I am going to start the baby blanket today ( I have to start over, the one I started got lost in my move into my new house ) Hopefully it goes by fast.  And while I am working on that I need to whip up two owl's for my daughter's first birthday party.  And I need both projects done at the same time! Look's like I am going to be busy :)
