Bracelet Take 2

I didn't plan my original bracelet very well, I just started crocheting to see what would come to my head.

This time, with a little forethought, I decided to crochet the bracelet in the round for a more finished look.

Here's the result, in Navy, Pale Blue, Off-white #3 crochet thread using a 2.0 mm hook.

The Bavarian Crochet Style creates a wonderful, textured coffee cozy. I used #3 Crochet Thread for these cozies.  The pattern is available from my Ravelry pattern store

Crocheted Bead Earrings

  
I've been wanting to make these earrings for quite a while.  I finally got around to buying the jewelry-making supplies and got to it.  They're super easy and the pattern is FREE! I've posted the free pattern on my Ravelry store

 

Now my Ravelry Store can be accessed by non-Ravelry members.  Take a look.

I ran across some crocheted rocks on the Internet and decided to try my hand at it. It's relaxing, rewarding and FUN! A nice decoration for the home, too.  Crocheted with #10 crochet thread and a #5 hook.

I've been neglecting my blog - but not my crochet, so I thought I'd update you on my latest project - a hat made from crochet thread.  I know, you're saying "What?"  Let me explain: I wanted something a little different, which may not surprise some of you.

I went to my yarn stash, (which my wife makes me keep in the garage, now) and picked out several colors of #10 crochet thread (red, orange, yellow, purple, and pale blue), a G crochet hook and started crocheting.  I'm very pleased with the result.  I had to block the brim (steam only, no starch or stiffeners used) to get the look I wanted.
