Post by: bayou girl on Oct 09, 2013, 09:24:16 PM
the beginnings of my current project:

it is going to be a doily.  I'll explain as it goes.

and i realized that i have completed several projects that i have not put here and/or shown y'all.  so here they are

dish cloths

The purple one is pretty, but I still like that blue one the best. It's just a beautiful color. You do good work.

thank you barb.  the blue is scott's favorite too.  both of the blue ones were easier to do than the pinky-purply one.

part 2 of my current project... partially done.  i've gotten more done on it since this was taken.  close to halfway.

(https://www.southernspirithunters.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv322%2FJiffymouse%2F2013%2FIMG_20131020_170523_536-1.jpg&hash=1f920281efae5a701582533ed027e66a04026cf9) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Jiffymouse/media/2013/IMG_20131020_170523_536-1.jpg.html)

when it is finished, part 2 will circle part 1, something like this

What will be the size of the completed doily?  What room is it in?  What's it going to be put on?  Inquiring minds what to know.

I've done closed yarn doilies for the tops of chairs but most doilies are white or off white (dust catchers).  I'm interested in knowing how you will use yours.
Title: Re: My Crochet Projects Part 5
Post by: bayou girl on Oct 22, 2013, 10:24:12 PM
the finished doily will be a square, about 10" x 10".  give or take.  it is going on top of a victrola.  the center color of the doily is an approximation of the walls of the room that the victrola is in.  i could have made a dust catcher, but to be honest, i wanted something close to "art deco" to match the eclectic look of the room the victrola is in.  the house itself is a 1908 craftsman cottage.
Title: Re: My Crochet Projects Part 5
Post by: duh on Oct 23, 2013, 09:40:19 AM
How cool is that?  That's one vivid color for walls, but if they fit anywhere they fit in a craftsman cottage. 

I have a love hate relationship with the craftsmans.  I've never been able to get all my stuff in one, but the built-ins, the woodwork, the plasterwork...it all makes me happy.  I guess I need a ranch layout and a craftsman interior.  I know it's supposedly wrong to mix styles but I mean really I think that would be the perfect house. 

Will you square it using a different color or will the black and white end up being square when you are through? 
Title: Re: My Crochet Projects Part 5
Post by: Tina on Oct 23, 2013, 06:22:16 PM
I think it will be squared up with a different color. The black and white is supposed to approximate  the look of an old 'record'. And I think it is a lovely idea.
Title: Re: My Crochet Projects Part 5
Post by: duh on Oct 23, 2013, 09:46:09 PM
That is a great idea.

my current and recently finished projects...

dish cloth for my best friend
(https://www.southernspirithunters.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv322%2FJiffymouse%2F2013%2FIMG_20131112_224045_238-1.jpg&hash=f39ca649958c050279d6e35815028bf767ccfeb8) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Jiffymouse/media/2013/IMG_20131112_224045_238-1.jpg.html)

doily finished, it just didn't look right with any kind of edging, so it will have none.
(https://www.southernspirithunters.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv322%2FJiffymouse%2F2013%2FIMG_20131114_204522_182-1.jpg&hash=2c863e4a57c382a3c6f0d7775c265f8a9eb1ccf6) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Jiffymouse/media/2013/IMG_20131114_204522_182-1.jpg.html)

and both sides - front and back of the one of the current works in progress...
front
(https://www.southernspirithunters.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv322%2FJiffymouse%2F2013%2FIMG_20131114_205737_581-1.jpg&hash=1fa884339ad3212083f8b3dad69142a7afe9106a) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Jiffymouse/media/2013/IMG_20131114_205737_581-1.jpg.html)
the bead in the middle is a letter bead being held in place by a stitch marker so i know what size hook i am using, in case the hook and project get separated.

back
(https://www.southernspirithunters.com/smf/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv322%2FJiffymouse%2F2013%2FIMG_20131114_205716_989-1.jpg&hash=6a606f92a34d67a541d48a1dd5d06e6f50ba66f8) (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Jiffymouse/media/2013/IMG_20131114_205716_989-1.jpg.html)

the other work in progress is a dish towel to match the dish cloth.

I agree very busy.  Love the yarn your using for the dish towel. 
Title: Re: My Crochet Projects Part 5
Post by: bayou girl on Nov 15, 2013, 10:05:49 PM
well, the dish towel turned into another dish cloth instead. i thought i had 2 rolls of that yarn but i don't.  so there it is.  but i'm happy over all with how it turned out anyway.  it is shaped a little different, but follows the same overall pattern.  now it is on to christmas ornaments, and to work on the blanket project i've been puttering with... as well as needing to finish up a few clowns....
Title: Re: My Crochet Projects Part 5
Post by: duh on Nov 19, 2013, 05:50:07 AM
What christmas ornaments are you doing?  I've always wanted to be able to do christmas ornaments but I could never get them to stiffen.  I've tried the flour and water, glue, and even commercial stiffeners no luck.  I've tried the stars and the angels. 
Title: Re: My Crochet Projects Part 5
Post by: bayou girl on Nov 19, 2013, 11:53:21 PM
i mix elmers school glue 50/50 (give or take) with water, soak them, then pin them to dry.  it works well.  i usually do snow flakes, crosses, stars, and angels.  this year, no clue, haven't gotten them started.
Title: Re: My Crochet Projects Part 5
Post by: duh on Nov 20, 2013, 09:23:12 PM
I've never soaked them in the glue solution.  Maybe that would work.  Do you use the #3 cotton with metalic thread or what?  What size are your ornaments?  Which type are the easiest?
Title: Re: My Crochet Projects Part 5
Post by: bayou girl on Nov 24, 2013, 07:56:16 PM
tammy, i use a hodgepodge of thread... some #3,5,10 and even a few 20.  most are between 2"-6" and some have the metallic thread in it.  it really is a matter of getting them soaked with the glue solution, and then pinned/blocked to let them dry.  and you have to let them dry all the way.  they will remain flexible, but not floppy.

here is zoe in the beginnings of the hat i made her.  kate realized zoe did not have a hat and it was cold.  so i made her one, and put the long "braided pig tails" for the ties.  i forgot to get a photo of her in the completed hat, but this is how it looked before the last row and the pig tails.

well, the blanket got much larger, but zoe needing a winter hat took preference when the temps dropped into the 20s and kate realized she didn't even own a winter hat since she had grown.

I thought I'd put pictures of the afghan repair here.

the actual "hole" was about 18" long, but most of that was just taking a crochet hook and redoing the stitches.  until i got to the end where the yarn had actually been cut.

here are pictures of the hole that was left after i redid the stitches, and the what the repairs look like now.  the thread is a slightly different color, but i think cathy will be happy.

you can get an idea where i reworked the stitches here before finishing the repair

and a close of up of the final repair.

that is a pink change purse behind the afghan in all the photos so you can see it better.

I will post a photo of the actual afghan when i get it out of the wash... it smelled like wet dog... we need a "pee ewww" smilie.

Post by: bayou girl on Dec 10, 2013, 05:40:06 PM
tammy, i did not make the blanket, but to answer your question, it was crocheted over the top and went across most of the bottom and about half way up one side.  the roses i did manage to get all of them in the picture.  they appeared to be crocheted on as well, but i did not look at their construction as closely as i could have.  i have returned the blanket to its owner and she assured me that it would not be put back on the couch until her daughters are not there to let the puppies play on it.

ok, here are pictures of what i made for the secret santa gift swap.  i had someone who wanted a coffee gift certificate so i made one of those things that go over the cup to keep from burning your fingers.  it is really brown, but on the pictures that you can see the color, the detail is not really visible.  the ones with the visible details the color is off... :dunno:

A nice personalized gift. Sometimes you make me want to drag out my hooks again.
well, i was asked if i could make some more, and how much i'd charge.  i gave 2 prices.  one for if they wanted them by christmas (charging for my actual time) and the other if they wanted them just "whenever".  so i will work on some more... a pig, a cow, and a horse.

the blanket is the size to tuck in/around a car seat or over a sleeping baby, but not big enough to actually wrap any baby bigger than the average 2 month old.

the colors don't show true, with the flash they were washed out, and without the flash, you can see they look dull.  but the white is bright white and the colors are almost sparkly.
