Crafty Wednesday

1/29/2014

It's crafty Wednesday. Today I am sharing my latest finished crochet project, the cat sac I made my cat! She loves it! And I love this pattern. It just might be my favorite. Might. I want to make something else with it. Maybe a scarf.

This was a double crochet where I chained three each turn of the work. So first I chained my width, then added 4 more chains. On the first row, I inserted the hook on the 4th opening and double crocheted down the chain. And at the end of each row, I chained three, then inserted the hook in the first hole. Make sense? Maybe? Hopefully if you crochet it does.

This is what it looked like before I started the sac part.

Just in case she didn't like, I stitched it up (single crochet) in a different color so I could easily take it apart. In this photo, I have two ends stitched shut. I ended up taking the bottom part off, so now its more of a tube, so her feet and head can be outside each opening.

But she loves it.

A lot! She spends a lot of time nuzzled in it next to me on the couch. I think this was an excellent thing to make her.

Right now I'm making my husband a blanket. This is going to take awhile, but it's what he wanted. I am doing three colored yarns at once in a single crochet. It's SUPER thick. I will share my progress next week.

What are you working on?

Looks pretty cool Lacey. Cats always seem to like things they can 'get into.' I have 3 cats in the house and they love to hide and sleep in something nice and cozy.

I don't really have a crafty item to do - I used to make jewelry but when I get involve in that, then I'm not writing. So writing is my 'craft.'

I spend much more time writing then crafting too. Though, like you said, writing is a craft and a fun one! A great escape from reality.
