@Former-Member Oh, well, shit, how about that!??!! I did not know that!

Now I'm laughing at myself. Gawd, how could I not have known that????

its ok i had not clue how it was done until i got one my self 🙂 i dont have any pictures of the ones i have done how bad is that @Former-Member

Just commenting here again so I can follow the thread again!!

That bootie is simply gorgeous @CheerBear I've seen the patterns on Ravelry and have done a trial of the Crocodile stitch, it's so effective on those boots. That yarn is superb too. Thank you for your lovely comments too.

Are you going to try to match the yarn changes ont he next one or just let it fall where it will? Your work is beautiful CheerBear, really even. What is that yarn if I may ask?

I need to reward myself with something a wee bit special after the day I've had, which has followed the week of horror, and that is the first thing I've seen that might tempt me.

I'm making the vest out of an acrylic yarn in multi coloured fawn to brown shades, I got it and a sister colour in mulberries for shawls, but then I decided I didn't want another shawl, so decided to do this vest. I'll 'iron the life out of the acrylic' to set it when it's done. (can't use the technical term for that) that way it won't stretch out of shape and can be washed in the machine too.

I was like that with 'special' clothes, like they were 'too good' to wear, then i decided to just wear 'em, that's what I made 'em for! LOL

Oh, my list of things I want to make! Just keeps on getting bigger. It's not even like that bath mat was very big, in the scheme of big things, I think it just coincided with all those other endings to be honest.

I sewed more than crocheted the baby and kiddie things I think. Did crochet around face washers and stuff like that for baby gifts and such. I sewed pretty much all their clothes for many years, even little sandals for the girls. Living in the outback was a creative blessing in some ways. Big town living now is so different, and online shopping, how I love it.

I'm so glad I can make someone smile @CheerBear and @Former-Member (I'm still giggling about threading hair through beads ... )

I might try a hair wrap now Taya, how cool would that look in old lady waist length gray hair! I'll have to think about that, but if it stays for months even with washing .... I'll probably chicken out though.

Hello @Snowie I'll pop across and check out your thread soon @Bubbles3

Now that it's a thing Craft Hugs for everyone! hope all your crafty things are bringing you comfort and joy.

Hi everyone ☺

Thanks @Former-Member and @Former-Member 😊 I have had the crocodile booties pinned for ages so it was nice to get around to it SunShower. It's a yarn eater but in small projects that's ok with me. I wasn't too fussed with matching the colour changes with boot 2 because I thought it would be cool to be a little odd, but I did want the body of them to be similar so I changed it when I went to build up the rest. It works I think (and I high fives myself that I managed It!)

The yarn is Moda Vera Fayette from memory Sunshower. It's one of the discontinued ones which makes me sad (it was $2 though 😮). After my little sad that my favourite was discontinued I found the Lion Brand "Landscapes" line. Oh my! I'll have to wait until it goes on super special though!

The pretty is strong with this one 😁

I really like the idea of rewarding yourself with something special after a hard week (and sorry you've had one of them 🙁). Did you find something that felt right?

Fawn, brown and mulberries sound amazing for that vest!

I think a hair wrap in "old lady waist length grey hair" would be so cool! I plan on being cool like that when I am older though I tend to go for more the shaved hair look which probably won't work with hair wraps 😉

I'm taking my Dr's suggestion to get out of the house and visit some local spots I haven't checked out yet so I am at a park with trees, water and ducks with my project bag at the moment. This is how I plan on spending the next couple of hours which feels pretry good.

Hope your day has some smiles/goodness in it ❤
