On the Needle

I completed my goal of creating

31 hats in the 31 days of August

for a shelter in West Viriginia.

 

Thank goodness a fellow crocheter

posted a fast and simple pattern

on Ravelry that I could use.

 

Now...back to the

ongoing, never finished scarf!

 

What's on the needle at your House?

Chair #2...before and after

My resourceful Husband

figured out how to fix the seat,

so Chair #2 is done too.

 

Before...

 

After....

 

 

I'm happy with how this chair

turned out. It will

most likely be the new office chair!

Before and After...Chair #1

This is the chair from my teen years.

Use to sit at a desk, painted the same blue,

 

Before...

 

 

After...

 

 

I have a metal chair that has

also been painted black,

but I am having trouble with the seat.

 

Onto the next project...

Stash Report-July

I missed posting at the end of July

for my monthly stash report....

so....

Fabric in for July: 0 yards

Fabric in YTD: 0 yards

Fabric used in July: 2 yards

Fabric used YTD: 64.5

I have been finishing quilts

and other fabric projects for others,

so I can't count it towards stash busting.

Hopefully in August I will be

finishing more of my own quilts.

How are you doing?

On the Needle

I am taking a break from knitting

right now to concentrate on

crocheting hats.

I am much quicker at crocheting

then knitting, which comes in handy

with my current project:

a new hat every day of August.

The online charity Outreach to Appalachia 

runs shelters in West Virginia that give out

hats during the cold weather months.

On average, the shelter goes through

approximately 100 hats per month

(mostly men's hats)

I'm a member of the group through

Ravelry.com

where we are celebrating our groups

one year anniversary.

Hence, the goal of one hat per day

for our group anniversary month!

What are you working on?

What's on the Needle

Yes...I am still doing that

silly scarf for 4 weeks now,

so I thought I would show you

a finished crochet project.

I have been crocheting hats

for a shelter in West Virginia.

They work up fast and are really

thick and soft.

What are you working on?
