One Ball of Purple Yarn and a Car

Isn't it amazing what you can do with one ball of purple yarn?
I made a crocheted hat, crocheted flower decoration, and a knitted neck scarf.

I did the knitted neck scarf with the same pattern as last time. But I made a edge on the scarf so it's smoother and nicer.
1. Right side: Pick up the first stitch as if to purl -do everything in between- until the last stitch which you pick up as if to purl.
2. Wrong side: Knit the first stitch through the back-do everything in between- and then knit the back stitch as normal.

I also crocheted a hat sort of beanie through repeated half double crochet and double crochet layers interrupted by single crochet layers. The crocodile stitch flower is attached to a pin so that I could switch up the location of it.


 I also made a little toy car out of felt. It's two layered with polyester fluff in between. I sealed the edges with the blanket stitch.

French fries, fish fries, oh my! (Beanies and mice too) \(^▽^*)(*^▽^)/

Over the past two weeks I've spent my time having a lot of fun! (〜 ̄▽ ̄)〜
I've fried french fries. (first at a lower temperature and then at a higher one to ensure crispness)

 

My white molly gave birth to 28 fry! (Hehe (^◇^) fries)


All the while I've been knitting! I've gotten done two beanies and crocheted my first mouse!
These beanies are approximately 11 inches long and are 1x1 ribbed with alternating rows of regular knit stitches and knit stitches in the back leg.


For the mouse I just read regular instructions for some amigurumi animals and just ran with it! I stuffed it with cotton stuffing. Should I put some eyes on the mouse? It's so cute with or without it. o(>< )o o( ><)o

Knitted a Scarf with Chopsticks and Crocheted Roses~~ (。◕‿‿◕。)

I bought this super chucky yarn a couple of weeks ago! However, my largest pair of needles were size 8/9 so I had to use chopsticks to get the right effect. 

The yarn changes colors~~ It such a nice scarf I do believe~

I used this thinner yarn to crochet some flowers! I made one green one and two red ones~
I used this great tutorial to help me although I didn't really understand how to roll it up.

Learning to Crochet (・ェ-) and Black French Tip Nails (ʘ‿ʘ )

I decided to learn how to crochet with my free time!! I tried to learn before and I could always learn to do the foundation chain. But when I got to the part where I had to turn it and create another row, I was completely befuddled by the yarn. No matter how many books I looked at and how many YouTube videos I watched I couldn't get it!!( ̄へ ̄)So I gave up....

However! Here I am again~! I found this gorgeous scarf on Tumblr and decided to give it a crack~ a try?
Anyways! It was the Anne scarf by MK Carroll but the pattern was $5.50 so I decided to seek out alternatives on the internet. I stumbled upon this amazing blog with the Queen Anne's Lace Crochet Scarf Tutorial (it even has the ends worked out!)






At first I used a 3.5 mm needle (smaller than the recommended 5 mm for the yarn) and the flowers came out all blotched and tight. It might also have something to do with my technique being too tight. ^(~)^

I took it apart and used a 5.50 mm needle with looser handiwork and it came out like this!


What do you guys think of my first project? Beautiful right? (╯▽╰)

I also found time to paint my nails~ A metallic blue with black french tips!
How do you guys think it came out? The color is more vibrant in real life (́一‵) also a bit darker... I had to lighten the picture so you guys could see.  ‎(>﹏<) IT'S  BEEN PHOTOSHOPPED! Hahaha.
