Creating crochet.... And the bit about my sons.

Monday, October 10, 2005

First of all, I now have this HUGE project going. I didnt realize I hadnt posted about it here yet, but Im sure most of you know I am crocheting my couch. Yes. Thats right. I am crocheting my couch! First plans were to crochet into the actual couch (of course using yarn sewed into the couch to stitch onto) but the fabric is REALLY hard, so instead I am making about a million little pieces to piece together for the couch. I am going to take off the old fabric and replace it with this new fabric. I am also going to put a liner under the crochet, just a plain white fabric. The crocheted couch part is going to be removable so it can be washable. (I am doing it in white.) See it progress here

Ive started work on the purse that is supposed to go with my cousins poncho. Its coming along rather nicely. It is in a Red Heart Super Saver Multicolour, some blue-ish colour. It looks real good. I cant believe Im about to say this, but Im actually looking forward to making the matching poncho! I cant wait to see how it is going to look together. Ill have to have the recipient model them for me. She loves modeling the other stuff and she wanted to model all of the other ponchos. Silly girl!

I made a few changes on that bikini today. I didnt make a whole bikini, but I made the bottom piece. I am going to pull out the last two rows on one of the pieces as it just looks dodgy. Ive already written up the pattern for it. Minus those two rows. The top is made all in one piece and the bottom is made in two pieces and sewed together at the crotch. It ties on the sides of the bottom piece. I guess you could say it is string bikini. It is a very easy pattern and works up quite fast. Im not sure how fast the lining process is, but Im sure it couldnt take too long! Id still like to get a few more pattern testers if anybody is interested! Email me!

I finally found a pattern for the socks that have been on my WIP list forever. That bar should be going up soon. The skirt might have to be put on hold until I get the poncho and purse done and the doggy hat designed. I always get side tracked with other things. Like right now I am working on a glove.. Yes only one. A friend wanted it, so I figured it couldnt be that hard to make one up real quick. I was right, not really hard, if only I could get to work on it a bit more! I have it about 75% done, I got lazy with it. Ugh!

And I must brag. I am quite the little multi-tasker. I EP for my kiddos and while doing so I have to keep an eye on the big one to make sure he doesnt terrorize the little one. This consits of a constant getting up, removing big son away from little sons head, and then going back to pumping routine. Well even in doing all of this I can manage to get two squares for the preemies done. Of course it is only 4 inch squares which are rather easy anyway, but I must say, to pump, watch two little ones and get two squares done in 20 minutes is pretty good. Now if only I could figure out how to feed the littlest one during all of this!
