The City of Crochet

Crocheting...an escape from everyday life in Europe as I face the perils of yarn shopping in a foreign country and dealing with all of the crazy looks I get for crocheting & knitting on the public transportation system.

Miscellaneous Turtle Parts, Flakes and more....

Well, I have been a productive little bee here lately at the Maison de Kimberly!

My serving tray has become a Turtle Factory...or perhaps a Turtle Hospital!

I have rounded up all of the miscellaneous turtle parts that I could find, and these.....




have become these.....



I am hoping that I can continue to make at least 3 a week until I go back to the US. I finished the 2 yesterday and sewed the ends in today along with crocheting up some replacement parts for those I used. I still need to do the eyes on these little guys, but I'll wait and do all of the eyes at one time.

I've also been getting ready for Christmas! I finished the first 4 flakes of the season. I've not had time to block them yet - will wait and do a mass blocking of them!

  


Here is a picture finally of my first green One Skein scarf and the second one that I finished yesterday for my College Roommate Ashley. Ash is 6 feet tall, so she asked for an extra long one....I think that I went a bit overboard on the extra long part, but she'll like it!



I finished after work tonight my next Garterlac - this pattern is so much fun!



And finally, a look at one of my next projects.......



I cleaned out my wardrobes and these jeans have been casulties of time, washing and fashion trends to be turned into a free form of yarn as I will attempt to make the Injeanius Bag! I've not figured out yet if I'll go with jeans about the same color or mix it up with those that are lighter and darker. Any one made this bag have any feedback?
