Work, crochet, repeat.

Well the hats at the fishing derby were a hit!!! Got many many compliments and i even got an order to make 6 of them for next year for someone. I'm very excited and honored that someone asked me, a complete stranger to do something like that :D

My hyrule blanket is seeming to be more complicated than i had imagined. After finishing about 1 wing i started over because I did not like the way it was looking. Now instead of working in strips(why on gods green earth why would i even attempted that? *bonks self on head*) I am working in rows Ive divided the pattern into 6 sections, im almost done with 1/4 of the blanket and a little yarn to spare. If i run any lower i will have to start taking apart the ruined section of the old hyrule blanket for yarn...must...scavenge..

This is the start of a 1up mushroom blanket I'm working on. Its going to be checkered mushrooms and rainbow colors :D

Here is what im working on as of the Hyrule blanket, its not going to be as big as i wanted it, but i will put more of a black border all the way around to make it bigger :D

Here fishy fishy fishy...

Well this was kind of a last minute project but I am helping my friend with a kids ice fishing tourney next weekend and decided that we needed something festive and fun to wear...

BEHOLD.... RAINBOWFISH
Cheap yarn, h hook and alot of thinking. I didnt have a pattern for this hat, just kinda pulled it out of my butt.






Now that I've made one it should be a lot quicker to whip up another one. I did it today while we were all watching the superbowl.. I think i use the superbowl as an excuse to drink and throw a party anyways.
