Crochet Cabana new look

If you haven't visited Crochet Cabana in a while you might be surprised to find a brand new look. With the help of my sweet daughter who did the bulk of the work, the site has been updated. I am hopeful you will find it better organized, easier to navigate and just generally pleasing to the eye.

Though there is still some work to be done, the majority of it is complete and ready for your use. If you have some time, pop on over there and have a look.

I'm knitting!

I'm back! Today I worked on something other than crochet. KNITTING! I know. Can you believe it? I actually finished two small squares.

Here's the proof.

I cast on 23. My daughter finished off the first one, but I did the second one myself. Daughter gave me some great advice which helped a lot.

Will I continue to knit? Hmmm I don't know. Maybe. I did okay with them, but I would still have a lot to learn regarding knitting. I successfully picked up two stitches I dropped, but I don't know how to count rows and such.

We'll see how it goes. I do enjoy the knitting process as long as everything goes smoothly!

just saying howdy

Just thought I'd pop in here and say I'm still around. I do most of my posting at the Crochet Cabana blog since crochet is what I do most of the time. I am going to be getting back into looming though and when I have something to share, I'll be sure to post about it here.

Hope everyone is well and excited about crafting. Christmas will be here before too long, so I'm guessing gifts are at the top of your crafting lists.

Enjoy!

Happy crocheting!

Finished loom hat

Loom hat on Mr. Bingle

I finished the loom hat though I was a bit off on my round counts. Well, to be honest I have no idea how to count the rounds and my guess was off. The hat is a bit too high for a regular person. LOL But I finished it.

I also was able to do a small amount of crocheting. My hand is mostly better. I'm wearing a more flexible wrist support just to remind myself not to overdo it. :-)

Mr. Bingle is happy with his new hat. Now to make one that will actually be useful for a living person.

Happy Crocheting!

Loomin'

Since I haven’t been able to crochet due to the sprained wrist (fall of 5/10), I have been trying other creative outlets. I’ve done some plastic  canvas and now I am trying looming.

There is still a little bit of pain in the way I have to work with looming,  but not like with crocheting. Of course, I couldn’t loom if my sweet daughter had not given me wonderful instructions. I had tried to read the instructions myself, but with no success. It is rather irritating that she took the looms and in 5 minutes voila – a hat! ROFL. I’m just kidding. I’m thrilled she was able to figure it out and teach me. I do still have to learn how to finish this off. She showed me, but I don’t remember now. Here are a couple of pictures of what I have accomplished thus far.

I was able to get into my Blogger blogs today so still not sure what I will do with them. Crochet Cabana is staying where it is for now, but I may move Crafty Corral to Wordpress if I can figure it  out. I like that I can have more than one blog under one place so to speak without the signing in and out problem, but Blogger has other advantages too.

Happy Crocheting!
