Crochet cup of tea
Here’s the newest addition to the crochet family. I decided to crochet James a cup of tea so he’d never be without a cuppa again.
I improved the design, although the tea bag was inspired by a cup and saucer I saw crochet on Ravelry. You can quite see in this pic, but there’s a light brown circle crocheted on the inside to make it look like it’s full of tea.
It’s crochet continuously in the round with the base being 24 stitches around. The handle is just a strip of 3 single crochet’s wide and about 10 stitches tall. I then folded it in half the long way and joined together with a quilting needle, tightening the stitches on one side to create the curve in the handle.
It stands about 2 inches tall – the Ninja Butler seems very pleased with it, so I am too :)
(Thanks to the NB for taking the pic <3 )
PS – there’s an update on the upcoming Exitproject track on our website if you’re interested It’s called ‘It was too slow, we had to start over‘
Fuzzy scarf + vintage button = Love
Sunday is a day for church, naps and crochet – so far I haven’t taken a nap, but the rest of my Sunday plan is going well!
Eliza (goddess of all things wool and knitting related) usually lets me raid her yarn stash when I head
back to Chicago. There’s always some bits and bobs that she has left over that I can happily use to crochet “http://www.flickr.com/photos/emibeth/3667335711/in/set-72157603758360883/”>owls, tortoises
or traffic cones. This super-fuzzy aubergine novelty wool was one such
stash-raid-victory.
But today isn’t a day for crocheted animals or health and safety equipment… I wanted to take one of my vintage buttons out for a stroll. (My other sis-law is also in to crochet and she and my
bro-law got me a couple of GORGEOUS vintage buttons for Chrimbo. Score!)
One size-10 crochet hook and half-an-hour of single crochet later, this fuzzy little scarf was born. WOOHOO!!
