Week 8 Challenge

I have been on vacation this week. The first part of the week, it rained. The remainder of the week was just to stickin' hot to do much of anything except stay inside for a lot of knitting and crocheting.

The block for this week's 63 Easy-To-Crochet Pattern Stitches challenge is #7 Alternate Puff Stitch. This was a fun stitch and would be good made with cotton for a dish cloth or something really soft for a face cloth.

Indianapolis is hosting the 2012 Super Bowl. Someone came up with the great idea to supply all the volunteers with hand crafted scarves. We'll need to have 8000 done by the Super Bowl. This is my third one. I haven't set a goal for this; just make scarves until they either don't need any more or time is up.

This was a fun project made with plarn (yarn made from plastic grocery bags). It's called The Ultimate Grocery Bag designed by Cindy aka RecycleCindy. Her website is MyRecycledBags.com. This is a great way to use up all those plastic grocery bags.

This week I joined a Knit Along on Ravely--KAL with knitwitsalli. We will be making dishcloths designed my Alli Barrett. Our first one was for Father's Day. My father passed away 23 years ago - right before Father's Day. I am considering making another one and give them to my brothers.

Finally, I worked on making more CD coasters. There is an arts fair in August. I am hoping to have enough of my own designs to sell.

That is all for this week.

Happy Father's Day!
