Recycle Yarn & Make a Centre-pull ball of Yarn

Okay so here it goes,
I thought I would try this Recycling Yarn project. Check out http://laughingpurplegoldfish.blogspot.com she has all the information on how to do it. I think it took me 3 hours to do the whole project.I really love how the yarn is. I was very surprised that it came out in 5 different threads together. The yarn is acrylic.

This was my practice run.How cool is this??

I think it was very easy to do. So give it a try. Save the earth and reuse the old sweater that you have in the back of your drawers or closet.

Happy Crafting!!!

Easy-going potholders

I found these potholders a year ago I thought I would give it a try. I don't sew very much. I took 1 year of home ec. in high school. Plus my mom helped me with a apron when i was 9. I know the basic but that is all. The pattern is at http://knit.bug.googlepages.com/knitbug

These are soo cute. I am giving them as gifts.I used very thin backing for quilting and cotton material.

This wonderfully bright green is Peaches and Cream 100% Cotton. I really like the color right now.

Sometimes when I find a new pattern and I really like it. Well it's like I fall in love with it. I can't wait to finish it and see what it looks like. BUT then it is finished. SOOO what I do is start another one.

This pattern is SOOO COOL.

Bath Puff

I love anything with cotton yarn. The feel of cotton is comfy to me. That sounds really strange. I only had 1 skein of this color pattern so here is 1 skein worth. I think it turned out nice. A little lopped sided but it works for me. I will try and make more. Pretty fun to make.

Slouchy Hat

Check out my Slouchy Hat http://jessicasuzanne.com Check under free patterns.

I thought this pattern was SUPER easy. For some reason some hat patterns are hard for me to grasp. But this one flew.I used Vanna's Choice Yarn 1 skein of 110gms. was plenty.

One of these days I will use my head to model. I am camera shy. HAHA. Plus I have a big head so sometimes the hats don't fit me. I tryed a hat from Lion Brand's website (Last Week) and it was way to small.

I really like to make hats they are 1 skein projects and cute gifts for people.

Blue Stitch Markers

Stitch Markers

This was my first attempt at stitch markers. I used drop earring loops that I got from the craft store. I know they were diffierent lengths, but I like them this way for crochet projects. Hopefully I will get better with my camera.

Here is my little girl Jewel Dog. She is a Bichon Frise.We were waiting for grandma to come for a visit. Jewel likes to wait on the couch.

Loopy Scarf

Loopy Scarf Tool
I bought this little kit from my local yarn store awhile back.

I thought it was a hard to do at first but after wrapping the yarn around the plastic piece a few hundred times I got the hang of it. I love the yarn it is a Boucle type(very soft). I should have bought 2 skeins of the yarn to make it longer. I like my scarfs long.

Just a little personal note I am feeling a little better. I went to my doctor and he changed 3 medicines. We will see how that goes.
