Projects to do next....

I am starting a recycled bag pattern. That is kind of on hold for now. I want to finish the Voodoo Rug I have in progress...try to get that yarn out of my stash and the rug on the floor.
After that, I want to create a soap holder for the shower. Then it will be back to the recycled bag pattern. I am sure it won't really go that way, but one can hope.

On a lighter note, below is a copy of the cover of Rolling Stone Magazine, March 2007. I know it is not current. Who cares? As you can see, Fall Out Boy is on the front. All I have to say is Pete Wentz is HOT.
What? Am I wrong?

Fan Edged Armwarmers ©

I made these to match the Fan Edged Hat. You may need to use a smaller hook to get a smaller armwarmer. These came out a bit larger than I expected (but they are not tight).

February 2009 Crochetlist Dishcloth Exchange

Here is the dishcloth I received for February 2009. I am afraid to use it! I did have to put it up though, my dog seems to think it belongs to him! Thank you Theresa!

Update to Fan Edged Armwarmers

Ok, so I have been working on making the Fan Edged Armwarmers to go with the hat. I have been working out the pattern...and working...and working.

I made one, then the other, but messed up on the second one. Short by a dc row. So I have to undo it. Which means I can test the pattern a third time to be sure it is what I want.

Dishcloth and Coasters

I recently joined a dishcloth exchange. This is the first exchange I have been in. This is for the February 2009 exchange.
Along with the dishcloth above, I sent these coasters.
The coaster pattern is copyright Dragonfaeriee Crochets! 2009. It will be in an upcoming post.
