I thought I would try again to make this ring. It's a good 30-minute project. I thought I was getting the hang of it, and then it came out a bit lopsided and not quite right. There are a few other ring patterns I could try, but I think I'll take a break from the crochet needle for a couple of days. I found the duct tape, so I can finish my dress form tomorrow.
Found the right size needle today and a better crochet book to tidy up the second ring. I'm getting closer to liking the finished product. I'm thinking about adding some beads to the next one.
Who doesn't love a shrinky-dink every once in a while? While the kids were playing with them, I thought it would be the perfect thing to make some Batala earrings. (Check out www.batalawashington.com.) So here's the shrunken result. Forgot to punch a hole before I shrank them, so will have to drill tomorrow so I can finish.
This may not look like much, but it's a project I've been wanting to do for a long time. When it's finished, it will be a custom-made dress form for my (many unfinished) sewing projects. Couldn't finish it today because, well, we ran out of duct tape. Thanks for wrapping me up, honey love!
