Arts and Crafts

I've picked up a few new hobbies and that's leatherworking/tooling and making chainmaille. Look for links and such on my main page, coming up in the next few weeks.

There are other links that I've been posting for arts and crafts but it's on the main post. As the term progresses, I have less time to go through and post every link in it's own section (with pictures and detailed description, etc.) but as I find interesting crafts, I do reblog it onto my main page so if you can't find any updates in this tab, check out the main page.

Because I'm not content with just doing one project at a time, I've been looking for more. Here are a few projects that have caught my attention:

Pacific Rim Shawl




Short Lacy Poncho



Pocahontas slippers

Okay, so while watching "The FBI Files" on Netflix, I decided to crochet a baby gift for a girlfriend of mine. (What can I say, I love true crime shows like teens love Glee. It's not weird...really...) I have a ton of scrap yarn lying around left over from various projects. I have already made a hat and booty set for my girlfriend, but it's summer break, I'm not planning on having another child for at least another year, and there are only so many doilies, blankets, socks, and slippers one family needs. Thanks to what I affectionately term "baby season", I have plenty of people to crochet for. Following this pattern, I worked up a set of mitts and am currently in the process of working up the sleep sack.

This particular set is really easy to work up and I really enjoyed doing it. I would rate this project at probably about a 2 on a 1-5 difficulty scale. The instructions are written in a way that is easy to understand, though I would have liked it if there were a visual guide to follow as well as the text format. 

For the hat and booties, I used the "blue and ivory striped hat" and the "ivory and green booties" patterns from Crochet in a Day by Candi Jensen. Instead of ivory and blue/green yarn, I chose to use white and rose for all four items (hat, mitts, booties, and sleep sack). 

I hope you enjoy this project as much as I am. Happy hooking!

(Pictures of my creations of this particular pattern are to follow.)
