Well, while watching her and seeing all the cute stuff she does, I started getting ideas. Not always a good thing....lol. Anyways, one of the things I was interested in was her cute little crochet animals. They were so cute, but I'm not sure if I want to make any. The reason I was interested in it, was that it sparked an idea for another project, that I was trying to figure out how I was going to do it.
So armed with a renewed idea, I headed to Michael's to pick up some cotton yarn and a small pattern to remind me how to crochet curves. I haven't done crochet in such a long time, I needed a pattern for a refresher. While I was there, I came across this pattern book and knew I had to have it. Inside the cover there are so many different animals that you can make.
I know it's a silly thing, but I've wanted to make this dish into a pin cousin for some time now, and now I have everything I need to do it.
I found the cotton yarn I wanted. Do you see that green depression ware glass desert nappy/dish? Well my idea was to make that into a pin cushion. I am going to use the pattern of that frog above (the top half of the body), to make a ball, of sorts, to fit inside the dish. The colour I chose for the pin cushion, reminds me of a cross between strawberry ice cream and orange sherbet....lol.
Later when I went to my niece's place for dinner, her husband asked if I could do something with the edges of the material above to finish it off. I figure I'll do a buttonhole stitch on my machine all the way around it, once I trim the edges. This blanket is for my great niece.
