The colors are great but they aren't very warm..... I wanted to make something fun to wear for Mardi Gras on those chilly outings.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">I couldn't find any yarn I liked so I decided to make my own magic ball of yarn and crochet a scarf like the ones I've done before....including this one.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><br /></span></b>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtt9mnL7mLonb-H3kr-Wutq51tTABejxR-5ETe8bX28jcNgDDB9nf8KBwfEyYljFcJFGhlYMkP_hk5b0nYONbQP2u8KSMmskFsXbl_PS-0MQM1F-iIkshL6BgNe6Hxn3_hp7Gm6chvvvM/s1600/IMG_0991.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtt9mnL7mLonb-H3kr-Wutq51tTABejxR-5ETe8bX28jcNgDDB9nf8KBwfEyYljFcJFGhlYMkP_hk5b0nYONbQP2u8KSMmskFsXbl_PS-0MQM1F-iIkshL6BgNe6Hxn3_hp7Gm6chvvvM/s320/IMG_0991.JPG" width="240" /></span></b></a><br />
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">I started collecting yarn and then my friend said she wanted to play too. She is knitting her's using the Lady Godiva pattern. I won't have a photo for a long time as she isn't making it until right before next Mardi Gras. I went ahead though and just crocheted mine. It is FAB!</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">Now for details. If you want to make your own, you need to do some research. I wanted a nice warm scarf with a little heft to it. So, I made my ball a bit like the Alp Oriental with some heavy yarns mixed in with lighter yarns. I also bought a couple spools of skinny soft ribbon and one spool of beaded thread. If I could do it again, I'd buy more of the beaded thread...it gives an amazing sheen to the area it is in. Having a person to share the cost and yarn with is a good idea. We went through our stash and saved a lot of money but I spent $40 bucks after it was all said and done. Jeannine had great yarns so she didn't spend a penny. I keep my "leftover" stash low on purpose....you might be able to make an entire magic ball without spending a cent.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">Here is what I did:</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">*Go out and OVERBUY lots of yarn, ribbon, beaded thread, etc. Save receipts you will be returning some. You want thick and thin, basic and fantasy (eyelash is fantasy in my view), threadlike will offset super thick but make sure it won't get lost. I used gold threads mixed with softer but heavier greens, etc. You'll be in the yarn section a long time so plan on it! I was approached 2 times by ladies who wanted me to teach them what I was doing. One actually took notes!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">*Take the supplies home and figure out which ones really work well together and put the rest back for returns.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">*Weigh each ball or make note of what it says on the label. Since you are mixing and matching, this matters. Include ribbon, etc.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">*Determine weight: I made a ball of 10 ounces.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">*I held FOUR strands of yarn together. All types. The green eyelash was TOO much for me so after making the scarf, I went in and gave it a hair cut. The purple and gold eyelash was perfect.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">*CUT YOUR FRINGE before tying all your yarns together. You want a good representation of all yarns and ribbons used. I used a dvd case and went around it 20 times for each end. Set aside in a baggie or safe place.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">I decided to make each "cut" 4 arm lengths long. Then I just went through picking which yarns I wanted to hold together. Ribbons and beaded thread were just added as I went along, to make it interesting. I rolled as I went. (NOTE, if you go along and don't like something, you can always snip that length out and swap it. )</span></b><br />
<div>
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><br /></span></b></div>
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">***Once everything was done, I re rolled it starting from the end because I used my favorite yarns first. (I hadn't noticed I did that.) I wasn't really sure how thick I wanted to make it. I'm glad I did it that way because I didn't make it as wide as planned. Mine is about 7 inches wide.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">To make, I used a P hook and chained until I felt it was long enough, (I'm short) keeping in mind I was adding fringe. Then I worked a double half crochet throughout until it was wide enough. When I finished, I added the fringe.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #8e7cc3;">It was a very fun project and I'll be doing it again. The prep work is easy to do. Just pull stuff out, tie it together and go. It is time consuming but I did it while watching a movie.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #45818e;">I made another arm knit cowl. I found this lovely yarn "Encore Mega" for a steal in a fancy yarn shop in Destin. The store tends to be incredibly expensive so when I found this for only 6 bucks a skein, I snatched up two. It is so soft, like baby alpaca but does NOT shed like baby alpaca.

I was sick for the first time in YEARS.....and that combined with college tours....yada yada....the list goes on. No one needs the gorey, boring details. The good news is that I feel better and so I thought I'd do a quick post. I'll do more this weekend....lots to catch up on!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">Last week we had Seafood day at work. I had NOTHING to wear so decided on an apron. Someone had given me an odd shaped cut of this lobster fabric. I'd been saving it for years! I used a portion for the pocket and put it on a new tea towel. I used double ribbons for the waistband and ties. I whipped it up just in time for work....</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">It is a clothespin apron....one of my favorite styles. I also backed it so I can reverse it if I want.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #cc0000;">I used every smidge of fabric I had left! In fact, I had to shave the size of the apron down by almost 2 inches....but that didn't hurt the look or functionality of the apron.</span></b>Yarni Gras!http://www.blogger.com/profile/03028237893356674106noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2781009593981331972.post-82738583825780800562016-02-06T04:30:00.000-08:002016-02-06T04:30:11.155-08:00The Walking Dead crochet coffee cozies<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Mojo and Ginger were old and although not lethargic by any means, I now realize, they weren't very active.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #45818e;">They had routines and with 4 people living in the house, they had 16 hands to pet them and lots of additional people coming in and out playing with them. It wasn't much work for me....</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #45818e;">Dean works later now, Matt is in college and Kaela seems to be out of the house more than in it! We no longer have loads of kids coming in and out at random times, creating excitement. So Osa falls to me, which I love, but I do feel guilty when she is full of energy and I'm exhausted.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #45818e;">This last week, the weather was so nice that I took her to the park after getting home from work. Three times.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #45818e;">It is a 25 minute drive but worth the effort as she gets so much more energy out than mere walking on a leash....</span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #45818e;">On Monday we met our first corgi at the particular park. She was a fluffy one and fairly tall.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #45818e;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="color: #45818e;">We have had too much going on to take down holiday decorations so instead of trying, I just relaxed a little and made a few more scarves using the arm knitting technique I learned.</span></b><br />

<b><span style="color: #45818e;">I made 3 of them while watching Tombstone....we love that movie!</span></b><br />
