Upcoming...

Since I know a couple people are now reading this...

90s party coming up on Friday. I have a costume idea. Tomorrow, I will get my sewing machine and fabrics that I left with my parents (and Step 1 First Aid that arrived!) and make my costume!

Get excited.

More crochet!

As I mentioned previously, I have taken up crochet as a post-exam stress relief activity and I have two more projects to share!

First: A shawl to use up the last of the teal yarn in my possession.
I was looking for new stitches and came across the Solomon's knot AKA Lover's knot. Using this blanket as a guide, I made my shawl in the Solomon's Grid pattern and added a decorative ridge. I'm not sure of the dimensions, but a guesstimate would be 6ft x 2ft.

  

Since I had some leftover yarn, S & S (both of their names start with S!!) told me to make a headband. As I am eager to please, I made it and I even wore it in class today!

P.S. I made the headband with no plan/pattern, but I used this tutorial for the flower.
