"WHO YOU GONNA CALL?"





One more cell phone wristlet.  Case made with Tahki Cotton Classic, size G hook with a chain of 15.  Flowers crocheted from Patons Grace.  As previously posted, pattern is from Misty Makes and is available as a free download via Ravelry.  This time I put a lining in it.

CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW?

Just completed another cell phone wristlet, by request, this time in blue, my favorite blue.  I used Tahki Cotton Classic and a size G hook.  Once again, this pattern is by Misty Makes and is available as a free download via Ravelry.  You can make it up super quick (at least if you're not stripping wallpaper, removing a cabinet and painting all at the same time), and you can easily adjust it to fit any cell phone by adding stitches to your beginning chain, just make sure you do it in multiples of two.  I had the dimensional daisy in my box of ready-to-go flowers.  It was crocheted with a sparkly white crochet thread and I stuffed the yellow center to make it really stand out.  I simply used six strands of DMC embroidery floss to make the leaves.  The free leaf pattern is from nexttonicx.  I am going to have to look for the daisy pattern and write about how that was made in a separate post.  Now I am on to a third wristlet, pink.  The girls really like these.  I am happy to oblige.

YOU CAN CALL ME BETSY

I crocheted this really big Betsy Ross style flag.  I started on June 1st and made my deadline July 1st.  I finished right on time.  It measures 80" from left to right and 44" from top to bottom.  It is made up entirely of double crochet, Red Heart Super Saver and an H hook.  The free pattern for the stars came from Moogly Blog.  The most difficult part of the entire project was getting the stars sewn in place.  I used a large plate as my circle template.  I wouldn't be surprised if Betsy used a plate to make her circle too.  I am going to hang it outside.  Happy 4th of July to you all.  Hope you have a blast! :)
