Crochet Updates

Normally, I would have told of my farmers market day on Monday,


but Monday was a holiday, and I decided to take the day off.

I managed to finish two more jellyfish,


and if you follow my shop on Facebook or you follow me on Instagram or Twitter, you've already seen these guys. One of my fellow vendors bought the little blue guy, and that left two hanging around my booth.


And finally, I connected with the requester of


so, I have a better picture


but her picture turned out better.


I am in the process of making one more orange jellyfish, and then I think I'll be out of the jellyfish business. Unless any of you would like to order one...

And that puts me between projects. Again. Sigh.

    I still say the jellyfish are really cool looking.

    It's fun to see the talents of other bloggers. I would probably knit my fingers together.

      But it's just yarn, so you could cut your way out.

      Sadly, I'm not very crafty. Critters like the jellyfish abound, though, and maybe you could hook folks into collecting. I'd certainly be tempted.

    Glad the blue guy found a home! I'm sure the other three will be close behind. :)

    Will you post a picture of the orange jellyfish when completed? I always love to see what colors you use.

    The jellyfish are so cute! I love them. And the gloves came out nicely, too.

    I think the jellyfish are pretty cool. I hope you get lots of orders.

    I would take an orange jellyfish; email me at lv2trnscrb@aol.com and let me know pricing, etc. They are so cute!

    Good to take a holiday every once in awhile, even between projects :)

      Yeah, just so long as there is something interesting to watch on TV...

    Those jellyfish are the cutest things I've ever seen!

    The jellyfish are adorable. I bought a pair of crocheted lace fingerless gloves for one of my costumes last year (or maybe the year before). Yours are much nicer, not to mention prettier.

      It feels longer when I'm itching to do something but have nothing to do.

    Nice looking pieces. I know if I start to crochet it would help my mood.
    I like your facebook page.

      Thanks. I have the link to the pattern posted somewhere. You should have a go.

    Great booth setup. That brings back memories when I used to make and sell tie dye clothing in southern CA. Your work is very nice. I hope you sell lots. I love all the colors.

      Thanks. I'm working on the setup, changing it here and there, looking to get it just right.

    Aw the jelly fish are adorable! The herd would do some damage to those I'm thinking. So many tempting little legs.

    Yeah, my cats would love those jellyfish, but probably they wouldn't look like jelly fish for long...

    Aww! I still don't have a need for a jellyfish (I don't think. I do have a nephew…), but I love seeing all of the jellyfish you've made together! Know anyone who is having a baby? I feel those could be super cute in a nursery! Will there be any more crocheted sea creatures in your future? ;)

      No worries, I'm just putting it out there for anyone who might be interested.

      No more sea creatures, probably. The lady with the gloves has asked for a mermaid tail (you know, the blanket kind). So, perhaps...

    The jellyfish are cute! Of course, the real ones are not what I want to see when I'm on the beach :) The glove is awesome!

    I love the jellyfish. The gloves are cute but I can't imagine actually wearing them!!

      I know. I'm not fond of gloves myself, generally. But they were fun to make.

    Years ago, I would have been making those jellyfish. Now, I don't crochet at all during the hot weather. And right now, for us, it's heating up pretty good. Alana ramblinwitham.blogspot.com

      I find that I prefer crochet when it's hot. My hands sweat so badly that knitting can be a trial. Not doing any yarny crafts? Not an option.

    Those are such pretty designs. The three jellyfish make me think of triplets and that hand accessory has a cool goth vibe to it.

      Of course, if they were for triplets, they would have to be identical. I think. (My twin nephews... We have to buy them the identical same toy. They won't share, and they don't do the whole two different thing.)

    I like those jelly fish and think they are cute. Maybe one can do fish and other animals for young kids
