Straight from the Life of Kel

Back to what this blog is about.....Crochet!!


This is a drawsting bag that I started to follow a pattern but hated it so I frogged it and started over with major tweaks, like the stitch change in the center and the beads were my personal touches plus I didn't make it as big as the pattern called for.



This is a close up of the center stitches and beading. This was first time ever beading with crochet. This will be a gift for my mother.

OK OK I did it.. I made a doily. Well actually it was supposed to be a coaster BUT ended up way too big so now it is a doily.....

Here are my results, first attempt at dyeing. I liked the way it turned out. This is size 20 crochet thread.





So I have been at a new place of late and I am really enjoying myself.. Thanks Wendy!


I washed my car..Yeah!! I finished my take home test. I have finished 6 of 9 loads of laundry and cleaned the whole house.

Now here is the BAD news.....................

My 2 year old son got of hold of my newly dyed thread while I was in the laundry room and was playing with it when I returned....I almost cried. Oh well...it is my fault for not putting it up on the counter.
