Tiny hemp bag for crystals

I wanted to be able to carry a few small crystals, without misplacing them :D So just a very quick bag. Great for using up end pieces of yarn.

Make cord as long as you like. I kept it short at 9 inches.
I made mine with a crochet chain stitch, using a size H hook, in the black yarn.
Weave cord through the yo’s, for drawstring.
　

Baby Blanket

I have no clue on the amounts of yarn I used with this pattern. Or the weight of the blanket. I totally spaced it. Ran out of time lol
It was a lot of fun though. It's a take on the old shale, feathers n fans etc.....
Just grab whatever yarn you have on hand and needles and go for it
It's easy and looks good in any color, no wonder everyone does it lol


　
Size 10.5 US needles
36” by 40”

I used 2 strands of Baby Coordinates by Bernat through out. It's kind of kinky yarn so it's feels thicker.

Lessons

I can not believe how fast this fall is going by. We pretty much missed a large part of Halloween this year. No pumpkins or pet hat :(

Could not get a photo of little dog in her new hat for anything. Tried the cat while we got one you couldn't really see the hat very well :(


My knitting and blogging have been taking a back seat to everything, from email to house work........yeah I said house work...... how have thing gone so wrong.........

So my knitting is where it should be right along side me at my computer blogging :D

another lesson learned ....okay relearned this week.......never ever play with a crystal without cleansing it well....... very well.

and another... stay away from sweet grass, at the very least keep it outside lol

It pretty much stopped our whole weekend. I still can't get the smell out of the house, and we never opened the bag, just the outer envelope.
