Crochet Bangles

Maybe you know a girl who likes to wear bangles.  I found this idea on the internet.  While I don't have permission to repost the picture, you could see it  and find the pattern by putting "Sprite bangles" in the search bar.  http://www.crochetdynamite.com/2012/07/sprite-bangles.html

The way they described making the bangles is to take a 2-liter plastic bottle and cut rings 3/4 inch wide.  Make sure the edges are smooth so as not to snag the yarn or you.

Crochet narrow strips of single crochet in any color to the same size as the rings.  You make a strip for the outside and one for the inside and then whipstitch or single crochet them together. 

That's it!  I believe my grand-niece would like a couple for Christmas.

Happy crafting.

Yarn Ornaments

http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/craft-ctq-ornaments.html?noImages=

I'm on a scrap yarn spree lately.  Here's an interesting idea to get you ahead for the holidays.


This ornament is neither knit nor crochet.  You wrap a styrofoam ball in yarn and then glue pretty little oddments to it.  What a great way to use the last bits of yarn from another project.  They would even be fun gifts to make for friends and neighbors.

Happy crafting,

Scrappy scarf - Beautiful!

To all knitters.

Courtesy of Linda Higginbotham, we have a beautiful scarf that looks like it would be very easy to knit and would use up those scraps of yarn for which you have no other plans.
