I have a good friend who comes to visit me in the shop fairly often. For a while, when she was unemployed, she'd come sit on my shop couch and crochet in the afternoons. She's a hilarious woman and I'm so glad to have met her.
So when she left her phone at the store yesterday (again!), of course I had to yarn bomb it! I'd planned to granny square it to within an inch of it's life, but did this instead.
Does it look like a polar bear? That was the intention, but when I added little french knot eyes, it also looked like a screaming ghost. Considering that it's October, either one could work!
She got a kick out of it, regardless. Granted, it took longer to make this thing up than I'd planned, so she caught me while I was trying to finish the bottom piece. She hung around to crochet for a bit though, so I was able to finish it.
No there's no pattern, I just made it up as I went. I love being able to do that with crochet. :D
Admit it, you now want to yarn bomb someone's phone, don't you!
I make lots of things. Sewn t-shirts, knitted sweaters, canoe gardens, canned veggies, crocheted pillows, refinished chairs, and so so much more. I'll share them all here. And rocks, because rocks are cool.

fo: Moustached Coffee Cozy
"I moustache you to please use me to keep your coffee cup cozy"
Like the coffee cup cozy I just made? It was a quick and fun little project that used up almost all of my left over yarn from this sweater. Woohoo stash bustin'!
I just used this basic cozy pattern, but then duplicate stitched on a moustache I charted out from this cute little hat pattern (must try making that one someday!). And to round out the Ravelry links, here's one to my project page for this little moustachio'd cozy.
Please forgive my lovely hair. It's been a day and I didn't feel like finding a brush to smooth it out! :) I thought that the cozy looked way too small to fit on a cup, but I tried it out on this plastic cup that's about the same size as to-go cups and it's a perfect fit!
Anywho, this was just a quick post for today. Things are sort of crazy right now and I'm working on something that's going to be a really big adventure. Not able to talk about it yet (sorry!), but I'll tell you as soon as I know it'll work out. ACK vague much, Heather? Haha sorry. For now though, I'm just trying to fit crafty stuff in between the crazy, and thankfully this project was a quicky! Sometimes those are just needed.
Hope everything is good in your world!
