After so many crochet-along projects in the last six weeks, my scrap yarn boxes are overflowing... So until my next craft show on 10/22, I'm going into overdrive with making little scrap yarn critters, which sell well at my craft shows. So far my list consists of:
Hamsters - pattern by Minigurumi
Octopus - my pattern
Snakes - my pattern
penguin - pattern by Minigurumi
Chicken - I'm probably going to do a mish-mash of patterns
Mini dachshund - my pattern
Mini steg -
Mini monsters - I make them up as I go along
Turtles - I have several patterns to work from
Owls - Again, several patterns
Snails - my Happy Snails to You pattern
Mushroom -
Okay, let's get scrapping! I'm hoping to churn out 20 items!
Day 1 - Saturday - was productive: five items made:
I made up the green monster as I went along... used up all the green yarn!
Goldie the mini dachshund is from my own pattern
Brown and Gold penguin is the Chubby Penguin pattern from Minigurumi
I freehanded the Santa Hat and Top Hat for the penguins.
I started Cat Stuck in a Donut for the @ourcalstory "Because It's Halloween" crochet along
Day 2 - Sunday
Finished the Donut Cat
Finally made a Baby Turtle using the Minigurumi pattern.
Freehanded another monster.... Mr. Mohawk.
Finished part one of another Because It's Halloween crochet-along project
LOL, not as productive as yesterday because I took a two-hour nap!
Finish Count: 8
Day 3 - Monday
It was a busy day, with a dentist appointment and a six-stop shopping/errands trip. Since I was gone from 9:45 am to 2:30 pm, and came home exhausted, I didn't finish much... Just Piero the Turtleshroom (project #2 in the "Because It's Halloween" crochet along) and an orange-red octopus. It's more red than orange, just doesn't show in the lights of my light box.
Finish Count: 10
Day 4 - Tuesday
Tided up the box... seems like it magically refills....
Made a chicken, but didn't get it sewed... I finished it after 10 PM, and
I make too many mistakes sewing when I'm tired!
Two scrappy snakes! After a long period of no snake sales, I sold FIVE at my 10/1 craft show. Time to restock!
I also finished part one of a crochet-along, but apparently I deleted that pic from my phone already.
Finish Count: 12
Finished the chicken and a baby steg.
Finish Count: 14
Day 6 - Thursday
Made a whale and an egg scrubbie to get an Etsy order out.
Also finished a chicken and a mini monster.
Finish Count: 18
Day 7 - Friday
During the show (slow traffic, not many sales), I finished a mini chicken (which sold by the end of the show, and a striped monster. When I got home, I made another chicken, this time in brown. I will probably make a few more for next week's show.
On Sunday, I finished part one of a crochet along project, and finished two other projects except for sewing.
Monday -
Finished a scrappy snake (since I sold two snakes on Saturday), the cupcake owl for the crochet-along, and a spinkles donut as a surprise gift for an Etsy order.
I rewound my yarn cakes and arranged them neatly in a smaller box. Now I'm working on finishing up part two of one project and part one of another... and thinking of what I can make with the colors in the box!
Project count: 25
