Knitting and Crochet week day 4

Todays topic is Bags of Fun. I get to show you my "tools of the trade". My fiance calls my hooks an obsession! And I agree.

I wanted a theme to my hooks and stitch markers... memories. Most are favorite characters of my childhood.


Above are Wizard of Oz, tinkerbell, a snowman, Tortoro, a green hat that goes with my Erin go Bragh hook,
A Brain Cancer awareness ribbon charm, a heart in memory of my mom, pink beads from a necklace that belonged to my grandma, a cat for my goofy fur baby, a pug to remember my moms pug Max,  and Glow worms. 


Hermione's Wand, Footprints, Erin Go Bragh, Cabbage Patch head ( with pig tails but they broke off ) Snowflakes, Eyore, I needed a J hook..lol., Apple Jack My Little Pony, Broken Flower :( , I needed a N hook.  I have 2 more on the way... Weeping Angel from Dr. Who and My Neighbor Tortoro. ( both H. I use H alot and I like a change up) 



Most Cherished.

YOP5 week 34

Motivation to finish my list is highly needed!! My hook challenge isn't doing too well. All those projects are holiday related and I've missed a few. Its silly to make Christmas items a few weeks before St, Patrick's day . But I did FINISH something thing week!! Guess how many skeins it took to finish this blanket?

YOP year 5? Seriously?

I can't believe it's year 5 already....... this is my 3rd year participating. The last few days have been productive for me .I made a schedule for the next few months so I stay on track. I STARTED and  FINISHED the Zero lovey that was part of my hook challenge. It will be given to my cousin Ryder ( I really like that name ) due in October. I played with the pictures a little in editing. Its something different. ****** I got on the C2C bandwagon and started a few of my own. It is so addicting!! I love this!  I ran out of yarn for this one........ so I started this one. ( full skein not pictured)  ****** Also, I "dusted off" the Boston Bruin Blanket squares and started sewing them together. Its a bit tricking as you can see.... Why do I punish myself.. hehe my full project list can be found here .
