. . .that I modeled with my new haircut. (If you follow me on Instagram, you've already seen this.) And I started swatching. . .
. . .for a new project. This is swatch number four (or five). I think this is the stitch with the right hook size (it's crochet) for how I want the finished fabric to look and feel.
Now it's to measuring and calculating for the finished project. We'll see how far I get (or even if I get anything at all accomplished) this week.
And if that yarn looks familiar, it's because it's the same yarn I used to cover my earbud cord. . .
Explain swatch. Love the colors!
ReplyDeleteThe yarn around the ears might be a genius design - elastic gets ouchy after a few hours.
ReplyDeleteIt does. But I can't take credit. I found a tutorial on how to make a no sewing machine mask with blanket stitch and crochet. I realized that knitting the ear straps would work just the same as crochet, so I modified it a bit.
DeleteBoth mask and hair are great!
ReplyDeleteI agree. :)
DeleteGreat hairdo. I'm going to be brave and get my hair cut soon too.
ReplyDeleteLove the color in swatch four or five.
ReplyDeleteNice work
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteLove the mask and the haircut too. Have a great week :)
ReplyDeleteSince I know nothing about knitting, what is swatching exactly? Just figuring out how you're going to make something?
ReplyDeleteI like that you 'yarn bombed' your ear bud cord!;)
ReplyDeleteAnother idea I stole from someone else. I've been doing that for years now.
DeleteThanks.
ReplyDeleteStylish, you've got the eye for trendy treads
ReplyDeleteI love that yarn. Will you share the color please and brand?
ReplyDeleteIt's an indie dyer: Dina's Home of Crafts. (It was a gift. I think my brother found it on Etsy. He bought the mystery box.) The color is 50 Shades of Love.
DeleteSo, whatever this swatch is for will match your earbuds. So, I will wait patiently for you to announce the project. It's almost time for me to start crocheting for the fall/winter season, and it's going to be one long season, so....
ReplyDeleteOne good thing about the quarantime is plenty of time to crochet. (It's going to be a phone cozy. Not a secret.)
DeleteI like your haircut!! Looking forward to seeing what the new project is going to be with the swatch.
ReplyDeletebetty
It been a while since I had hair cut or done anything with yarn
ReplyDeleteI like the colour of the swatch and what you did with the cord. Your hair looks great!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteI like the new mask! I finally gave on making them and gave the fabric I bought to a friend who sews. I'll stick with making the extenders. But I do really like your mask.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It's not hard to do, but it does take a bit to get one's brain around it.
DeleteYour haircut looks lovely, Liz. It really suits you. And I do like the swatch colour, so I will be interested to see what you are working on (as I catch u pon my blog reading I am guessing I might find out).
