Hi Diana. Happy New Year. I have a question to get the Yarn Ball rolling; Do you know of anyone who has created fiber art with Human Hair? I would imagine that would be a very expensive project, unless one was able to collect a few old wigs.
This thread
has me
in stitches.
I have finished both faux fur hats, a moss stitch wash cloth (quick knitting project), & now I'm working on a pair of arm warmers for a friend (birthday the 15th). I have a bunch of stuff to post (links I've been keeping for this thread), BUT we have a snow storm on the way & I'm trying to get some things around here straightened out .... like finding my snow shovel, getting vehicles pointed in the right direction (headed 'out'), etc. I'll be posting tomorrow while the sneux is flying :-) Thank you for the thread!
Check out the tabs on her website …. there are some good ideas!
Beginner Chunky Crochet [Jessie] Basket
HOW TO TURN ANY YARN INTO BULKY YARN (CROCHET) - Note: I have used this method to make several items – works like a charm!
Another reason is that she's got some interesting patterns on her “free pattern” tab ….. Half Moon Washcloth, Bias Granny Temperature Blanket, Fireside Basket (this is the big one!), Harper Bucket Bag, Merci Cloths (Tunisian – might have to try it!), numerous other blankets & some clothing items.
The "Clara" pattern is very good and I used the Novita pattern for the little booties.From website:
The Hexie Pot Holder is a Hexagon Shaped Pot Holder and Hot pad. It is a thick pot holder because it is stitched in Front Post Double Crochet Stitches. Perfect For setting Hot pots and dishes on to protect our kitchen and table surfaces.
The Hexie Pot Holder is also very pretty and will look lovely on your dinning room table. It has become one of my favorite style pot holders.
It also makes a nice washcloth because of the texture of the Front Post Double Crochet Stitches and it is the perfect size, at 11 X 11 inches, for cleaning your face, body, kitchen and bathroom.
