Its a little late… but I connected with a few crochet challengers. I love that they all do something with fuzzy little friends on sunny days!

1. I think my favorite crochet hook is the I/9 hook (5.50 mm.) I tend to crochet tightly, so I always use a hook that is one or two sizes bigger than what the pattern calls for. It usually ends up being the I hook!

2. I search Ravelry - there are so many awesome patterns on there that I want to try that it makes me excited to start crocheting again.

3. I LOVE feeding the ducks at a pond close to where I live! It sounds kind of cheesy but sometimes I’ll take a book or a friend with me and we’ll sit there and feed the ducks/hang out. The ducks aren’t scared of people, so when they’re done eating they’ll just kind of sit there around you!

Yay! 1) I have some pretty plain aluminum hooks, but I’d have to say that my I hook is probably my most used. So I guess that’s my favorite? 2) I just start another completely different project. Usually something crazy. 3) I love to take my dog to the park and let her run around.

1. My favorite crochet hook is a Boye H/8 5.0mm. I end up doing most of my projects with this hook, so I guess I use it all of the time.

2. Usually if I’m not feeling like crocheting or find myself stuck I try to look up crochet videos. Most times I’ll just pick up a book. (I’m usually reading more than one at a time).

3. My favorite thing to do on a sunny day is to go out, usually with my SLR and the mutt (aka my dog lol). I love photography and I live in a nice woodsy area so there’s always an abundance of phot subjects.

Hmmm… I dont usually have ‘failed’ projects. If its going the wrong way, I’ll rip it out and fix it until its right or go a different direction.

BUT… the very first hat I made was in spring 2010 and it was awful. While making it, I was so excited I didn’t even realize how bad it was. My lovely friends and family were very sweet and supportive and only told little white lies about it. (thank goodness for them)

Here’s a picture of it in progress. I still have it somewhere… Its a little reminder of the beginning.

I would make a warm cozy poncho with a cowl neck made out of super soft natural colored wool.

Why? because it would be the best thing ever.

My favorite project (recently) is probably this darling little Ewok balaclava. I made it for a friend who originally wanted just a hat, but then a big cowl that would pull up over her head. I mixed the two and made this knowing it would stay on a little head way better as a hat than a cowl.

The pattern is my own. It’s essentially a regular baby sized hat, then once the hat was long enough in the front I stopped working in rounds and made a little mullet. When that was long enough to leave a big hole for the face, I chained to make the front of the bottom part and continued stitching in the round. I added little ears and trim around the face to give it those sweet Ewok accents.

Hmm.. So far my biggest peeves have been mentioned by others.

-the world’s lack of crochet knowledge/interest. ‘you knit?!’ no….

-yarn stores only having one tiny little crochet hook section and a WHOLE wall of knitting supplies

-when my yarn splits mid stitch

My Favorite Spot

Its a link to a video on youtube. My futon! I sit and crochet and drink coffee and watch a movie or two. pretty perfect for the time being.

How do I reblog and add a video??

I’ve been thinking about this all day.

I asked the boy…”I don’t know. Really, what should I say. I don’t know anything about yarn. Also, I don’t really care.” Followed by, “It would be like if I asked you what kind of snow machine I would be.”

So I think I would be a soft, versatile, worsted weight wool blend. Mostly blue with some slight teal variations.

lovely.
