 So after seeing my friend Lizzy  bleach some cotton yarn I decided that I wanted to try too!! First I started with a half skein of this super bright orange I had, I forgot to take a before shot, but I did have the washcloth I'd made with the original color...Lucky me! So it started out as this garish orange, and when I bleached it it turned into this very pretty orange and cream color. I was SO happy!!! After balling it up I decided to make coasters for my teapot and cup. :D then with the remaining yarn I worked up into a set for my mom as well. It's a really great colors, I love the variegated look.  Since I had such good results with the first try I went out and bought some pink and purple cotton. I had some yellow already so decided to throw that in as well.  The purple dyed really well, and had a slight ombre look to it. The pink however, as soon as it touched the bleach water it started fading and before I could pull it out the bleac...

So, since my mom gave me clay covered hooks for christmas my hooks no longer fit into my store bought case. I was fooling around with a new stitch the other day, a double V stitch and after making a random swatch with the gray I was like, oooh this would be PERFECT for a case. So I started over, made it longer and viola! I did ten rows of gray and five rows of the deep pink (Yes, it's pink and not red) Then when that was done I made the front panel. It was five rows if pink and three of the gray. Then I crocheted the edges to the larger panel. Then came the tedious part. I started with my largest hook and placed it behind the panel and started sewing it in with the gray yarn so it looks seamless. I did this for each hook, so each hook has it's own slot that's just big enough and tight enough for it's matching hook. I was so glad to be done with it lol. Here you can see it hanging on the wall, and my wall of geek. Oh and Data and Geordi approving of my great croche...

So! I finally finished the bear for the giveaway and he finally arrived! So I can post him!  He went a lot better than the one before and the ear spacing did change the entire look. I'm so happy he arrived safely. Because of the wait and time it took to get it sent off I decided to work up a few washcloths for Emily too. :D King of the washcloths! Teddy! A treble (US) and V stitch cloth Solid Granny square V stitch All stacked up and ready to ship! I hope everyone's doing well! Sole Fide Bliss
