It’s already past the half way point and I hadn’t done any crochet projects. That is now fixed. The yarn is more of a blue-green than the photo is showing. This worked up very quickly, and it fits over a

Day 9: A Start
Continuing the yarn stash busting without the proper tools trend, today I tried crocheting with my fingers instead of hooks, using three strands of “Homespun” yarn. It’s not going quite as fast as the arm knitting, but after a day

Moxie keeps trying to eat my monsters that I make, so I made her her own toy out of some cheap yarn. It’s stuffed with pollyfill and catnip. She seems to like it well enough, although I doubt it’ll stop

Day 21 – Crocheted Fractal
I started a turtle, but didn’t feel like following directions, so I did this instead. It’s the same yarn as the blue eyed octopus. I may stick something in the middle and attach it to a hair clip or something.

TAD 21: Hair scrunchies
Two versions, one loopy and one simple. Useful little scrap yarn project if you are like me and still use these even though I’ve been told they are far, far out of style. They just make pulling the hair out
