It’s too late to start new Christmas presents (maybe), and I finished my crocheting for the blanket bee (most likely), so I turned my attention back to the Crochet One-Skein Wonders book. This is actually the second new project I’ve done from the book in the past week, but the first one I’ve finished. After… Continue reading One-Skein Wonders: Easy-to-wear Cowl
Scarves are awesome to crochet because you can often make one in just a couple of hours and use a single skein. It’s a lot of bang for your buck, and you get the satisfaction of seeing a finished product. There’s a lot going on in my life this week. I’m throwing an impromptu bridal… Continue reading Scarf 4: The Gratitude Scarf
It’s been a while since I made a project from the Crochet One-Skein Wonders book. If you remember, I made it a goal to make every project in this book. We’re coming up on scarf season, so this is a two-fer. I’m making a new goal to make ten new scarves. A few weeks ago,… Continue reading JoAnn’s Scarf
My 11th project in my Crochet One Skein Wonders project is the Golden Ray of Sunshine Trivet. It starts as two separate pieces which are then crocheted together. Projects completed: 11/101 Yarn weight: thread Difficulty: 3/10 Time spent: 4 hours+ Using thread for something like a trivet is new to me. I’m still not sure… Continue reading A Golden Ray of Sunshine
I had some yarn left over from my Darn Good Yarn subscription box. So, I pulled out my handy dandy Crochet One Skein Wonders book and found something I thought would work. Enter the Around-the-Post hat by Deb Swinski. The book says that the “hat is modeled after a hat Deb’s mother crocheted over 30 years ago.… Continue reading A Fine Silk Hat

Projects completed: 9/101 Yarn: Lace Weight Difficulty: 4/10 Time spent: Approximately 8 hours This scarf was a very fun one to make. The pattern said… Continue reading The Bristleberry Scarf
This project was a little slow going. We’re getting ready for the mother of all garage sales, and my wrist was bothering me again, so I took it a little easy. I had some pretty, bright yarn left from my #happyyarnmail that I thought would be perfect for this kerchief. Projects completed: 8/101 Yarn: Worsted… Continue reading Pat’s Jamaican Bonnet
I made a hat today. My daughter stole it. To be fair, it was purple, her favorite color, and it wasn’t going to fit me. I keep skipping that “check your gauge” step, so sometimes things come out the right size. (Don’t be like me. Always check your gauge.) This little squirrel loves her new… Continue reading The Stolen Hat
Two projects, one day.
Projects completed: 4/101 Yarn: Medium weight (I used an entire skein of Vanna’s Choice. If I’d have had to do one more round, I probably would have run out of yarn.) Difficulty: 6/10 Time spent: 2.5-3 hours I asked my sister-in-law to pick a pattern out of my Crochet One-Skein Wonders book. She chose this… Continue reading Pinwheel Newsboy Hat
