Heart hearts!



Don't mind me, I'm just putting up my beginner's projects and test swatches for techniques I was learning at the time. Heart!

P.S. I think it's really funny how all three pictures show my bed comforter as background.

This is in a huge Michael's bag in my closet. I bought three more today. Clearly I need professional help. More projects to think of while I write.

Record Bag

I'll start off the pictures with my most recent project, a birthday gift for a DJ friend:



I crocheted this without a pattern, I just winged the entire thing, which is why it came out slightly wonky but I was very pleased with the result once you stick things inside. I made two flat circles, roughly the same shape (hey, I was a bit off!) and then just made one long thin strap, which I then connected to the circles, so it was not only the straps but the width of the bag (about 2, 3 inches). Later I realized there would be a gap at the top, so I improvised a flap that coordinated with the colors. After that I realized the flap was not secure, but luckily I had loop at the tip of the flap that could accomodate an orange button I found. Voila!

I am doing NaNoWriMo now, but I intend to do more knitting in December, especially finishing up old projects (pink bunny) and starting/creating new ones off books from the library! YAY! I'll be putting up old pictures too of past projects. Yarn is the best!!!

Crochet
You make me wanna go away
You make me wanna go away
You make me wanna go away
You make me wanna crochet
Just another book about women in rock
Just another book about women in rock
Just another book about women in rock
Just another book about women in rock
You make me want to
You make me want to
You make me want to
You make me want to crochet
You killed the thing
You killed the thing
They killed the thing
You killed the thing
You make me want to
You make me want to
You make me want to
Crochet?
