Get Hooked ~ Crochet by Erin

I FINISHED the Boston Bruin blanket!!!! You can see that post here . No need to post about it again. :) I learned a new stitch! Reverse single crochet / crab stitch. I love it. A big thanks to Moogly! My zombie sock monkey hat will be so cute once I finished it. The crab stitch is the red row after the white row. Also I finished the Rainbow scarf. I want to add pockets.  On my down time I've been making hearts to scatter for the Peyton Heart project.  .  I added a few more rows to my fiance's c2c blanket, but didn't take a picture of it .  The Halloween rush is starting. That's why barely anything is accomplished and I am doing 3 weeks in one post. Hopefully I can get in some time to make some Halloween decorations. I have a few patterns on my Hook Challenge list I want to make.  P.s . Please post your blog so I can comment back :) 

This week I finished a cap for Halos of Hope : New England. this is a a crown i am making that is part of the crochet hook challenge. I am using an E size hook.  here is the link to week 1. and this is my official list

I made this scarf last night . as it says in the picture, 90% off the proceeds of each scarf go to OneFundBoston.org check out my ETSY shop for scarf length. each scarf is made to order. Available in the U.S only.  each scarf is $18 with $3 shipping.

I was checking out my list ( a few posts down) and I noticed I need to update it a bit from my original ( paper list). 1. make 13 crochet patterns and 13 loom patterns.   Update : crochet: Blessings Chemo cap                loom: Loom Chemo Cap                       Shelly fingerless mitts    2. adopt 13 centers for my Halos of Hope New England team    Update: done. 3. Make 13 chemo caps for each cap drive ( HOHNE).     Update:  The first cap drive of the tear was a hit. The Breast Health Center in Providence received about 50 caps. I think I made about 10. The Spring theme cap drive is going on right now... I do plan to make 13 or more caps. 4.Make 13 items for me ( April is my birthday month)     Update: I haven't started yet. 5.Lose 13lbs every 3 months.   Update: 10 lbs gone :) 6. Make 13 items for...

In a good way! :) I love helping out. I am on the shy side so face to face interaction ( if i don't know the person well) make me uneasy. So making items and sending them to a worthy cause is perfect for me. Since I didn't receive many hats ( none actually ) for the University of Vermont School of Medicine and  Norris Cotton Cancer Center I have to make more than I have to send out . Was hoping 10 from each team member . I am waiting for a box of hats from one member....  Praying it comes in this week. And I signed up to make socks for a local RI homeless shelter called House of Hope.  They run the state’s largest men’s night to night shelter. they need hats, scarfs, mitten/gloves and socks.  Here is the Ravelry  thread   if you interested in helping out.                                          ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~...
