Last New Year's Eve I was so excited with the idea of creating furry new fabrics with crochet that I made a post about it (New Year's Eve 2013).


One year later that has not happened... until a few days ago when I set out to make a lining for a muffler. It gets so cold here around this time that more layers would help. I wonder if it will take another year to finish?

I did find a new fabric to bubble over for 2015. It'll be to crochet a tweed 'collection'. This time I'm getting a head start:

Happy New Year 2015

Amigurumi has taken over on my craft journey. I managed to sneak in this blue tiger hat for a dear baby.

Long ago I wrote a post about a tie belt that I made with Michaels brand Impeccable ombre yarn. The color is Folklore. The old post is here: http://hookhands.blogspot.com/2012/12/a-tie-belt-made-with-michaels-loops.html

Just this summer Michaels went online with their yarns. So if you want to purchase this yarn go to their website. Last time I checked, shipping for their yarn is free for a limited time.

I'm no good at counting rows. So I found this row counter online for free. As long as this link still works I can use it to keep track of my row count. I just press F5 or refresh to start a new count each time. It's so easy to use.
