Hexagon Update & Scrap Ripple 2

Need 320 hexagons for double bed. Have 93 hexes complete,73-3rd round,15-2nd round,39-1st round. This keeps being set aside for other projects.

In working on the hexagon afghan I found I still have many larger scraps or single balls. I've decided to start a ripple with them. I'm up to 60 rows. I'll probably try to do 60 more before I call it done.

Sorry for the lack of posts. I hadn't been crafting for a while. I started crocheting again in June. There should be a few ta-daa posts coming up. I've been crocheting like crazy. lol


I've been wanting to make an afghan using this pattern. http://belladia.typepad.com/bella_dia/2006/11/vintage_vertica.html I finally did it. Using up a bunch of Bernat Baby Coordinates and Caron's Simply Soft scraps that I had left over from other projects. It's 90 stitches long & 55 rows wide. I held 2 strands together & used a N hook. I love how it turned out. It's so very soft & plushy.



The edging is a round of single crochet(us), then a round of reverse single crochet.(link in my sidebar under crochet 101)


I had a bunch of scraps left still so I started a giant granny to use some more up. Here's the start. 2 strands held together & a N hook. Have to wait for some more simply soft left overs to finish it.

Scarf for Hubby

Every once in awhile hubby whines "You never make me anything." LOL
I was making a scarf for my brother with this leftover yarn I had (no pics) & this is what I heard. It's not true, but you know. LOL So I had to make him one too. I ran low on yarn so he now complains that I didn't make his as long. (men ...sheesh)

Scrap Ripple

I have so many half skeins & balls of leftover yarn that I was running out of room in the yarn closet. So in addition to the scrap hexagon, I'm starting a ripple afghan too.

The pattern I'm using is here at Attic24.http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/neat-ripple-pattern.html

I love how easy it is once you get it started.

I wasn't sure I would like the "scrap" look, but I think it's quite pretty actually.

To my winners...I hope to get your packages sent out on Monday. ;)

Hexaghan update #3

I've gotten a bit more done on my scrapghan, so I thought I'd put up some pics.

This is such a fun pattern, & I'm really using up some scraps.

Here's the bag I'm keeping everything in.


Here's the ones that are done & joined.

2 & 3 rounds in.

And a pile of yo-yos.

Ruffles, Stripes & Hexes, Oh my!

Happy Halloween all!!! I thought tonight I'd get caught up on project pics.(i've fallen behind...bad shelley)

Here's all the ruffled girly scarfs I've done. Aren't the colors just delish.

And here's my stripey boy scarfs. Plain & simple, but oh so stylish. I'll put up a pattern soon.

And yummy scrap-granny-hexagon-afghan progress. I'm having way to much fun using up my scraps.

Scrapghan

Well my bits n' bobs of leftover yarn are threatening to take over, not just my craftroom, but the whole house.(next the world mmwhahaha) So I've decided a scrapghan is in order. I think this hexagon one by Attic24 will be just the trick. http://attic24.typepad.com/weblog/hexagon-howto.html

I'm not sure how big I'm gonna make it. I guess I'll just keep adding on till I run out of scraps or it gets to big to haul around. (heehee)

Here's my first hex. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
