Hooray for my next Crochet-a-long! This is another CAL hosted by Megan of Crochet Every Day – with a theme of “sweet”!
I am going lazy and using my stock yarn shelf photo, focusing on the pinks…
I plan to make pink candy corn! Cute idea, right? Maybe purple too ;)
Now I didn’t take a new photo (wow this one is almost a year old!) because my yarn shelf is looking a little sad – but it is okay, it means I am using the yarn! I bought a yarn ball winder on eBay (because I am wayyyyy too cheap to spend what retailers are asking) and I hope to have it here next week. Why? I want pretty little yarn cakes! It will sound silly if you are not a crafty person, but when the above skeins start to get about half-way used up, they get flat, sad, and potentially turn into one giant know. Plus it is hard to take one of those blobs from the shelf nicely, and returning it? No way.
Looking at my Flickr pics of the shelf, maybe tying on some variegated yarns will be nice too? I may also incorporate some of Julie’s pattern for a more 3d amigurumi style, check out her pattern here!
Next time? Planning to share the sweet results, and share a pic of my lovely prize from Megan for joining in last time, an adorable handmade coffee cozy!
I think you may be the only one who joined in this time! haha I did however, finally, post my finished candies. Did you end up finishing yours? Can't wait to see how they turned out! :)
ReplyDeleteNext post...planning to write it tonight! We were out of town and returned to no power for a few days, which messed up my posting plans pretty badly - heck messed up my functionality in general!
