Mushrooms!

My kids want a Super Mario Brothers themed birthday party this year, so I made these to surprise them. Unfortunately, the girl spied me uploading pictures so she already knows about them. She promised to keep them a secret...we'll see!

WolfDreamer off the Hook offers this free pattern on her site as well as a few other Super Mario inspired crochet creations!

iTouch cozy

I crocheted a cozy for my iTouch out of some scrap yarn I've had for years. I think I actually bought it when I was first re-learning to crochet (I hold onto things way too long)! Yes, it already is in a plastic case, but the plastic case needed protection too, darn it.

I have the ipod pulled out a little in the picture - it fits inside nice and cozily. I might add a button closure or something. Or not.

The husband made fun of me for this. He fully expects me to start covering the house in doilies now.

Knit One, Save One

Save the Children is hosting their Knit One, Save One campaign again this year. It's a great project for anyone that enjoys knitting or crocheting, or even craft groups. I sent off a hat last year with a note attached, and they sent me a postcard this year to inform me that it's that time again. Neat!
