A Little Knitty

This isn't a full pattern, but the recipe I used to make this scrunchie for my daughter (who has an OBSESSION with all things scrunchie!!!)


Materials: - 25g DK Weight Yarn - I used Bamboo Pop from Universal Yarn - F/3.75 Crochet Hook - Elastic Hair Band (I got 15 from Dollar Tree for a $1)
Round 1: Single Crochet around the elastic band until you can no longer see the band (for mine it was 45 sc the first time, the second time I smushed more in there) Round 2: 2sc into every sc from the previous round (you will now have double your starting stitch count), sl st into the first sc from this round and ch2 (this will count as 1 of your hdc for the next round. Round 3: 2hdc into every sc from the previous round (you will now have double your st count from Round 2), sl st into the first hdc from this round and ch3 (this will count as 1 of your dc for the next round. Round 4: 3dc into every hdc from the previous round (you will now have triple the st count from Round 3)
I am by NOOOOO me…

Our newest Private Label yarn arrived during the Fall Yarn Crawl. The colorway names are one word each and they were taken from quotes I found inspiring and uplifting. Here are the colorways and their names...
Accomplish
You can have anything you want if you want it badly enough. You can be anything you want to be, do anything you set out to accomplish if you hold to that desire with singleness of purpose.  - Abraham Lincoln
Ambition Ambition is enthusiasm with a purpose.  - Frank Tyger
Believe Be brave to stand for what you believe in even if you stand alone.  -Roy T. Bennett
Confidence Without self-confidence, we are as babes in the cradle -Virginia Woolf

Courage Forgot to get a pic before it sold out!
Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear - Mark Twain

Goals
If you set goals and go after them with all the determination you can muster, your gifts will take you places that will amaze you. -Les Brown

Gratitude
Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude. G…

Have you misplaced your knitting mojo? I'm not sure where I left it...I was knitting at least 5 projects at once, dividing my time and not really getting anywhere on any of them...and I just lost my mojo.

I'm positive it's at the bottom of a project bag, but I'm not really driven to discover which one.

Could it be the bag that contains a crescent shawl that seemed like a good idea in my head? Maybe it's in the project bag with the hat that I recently finished designing...but can't remember where I put the darn thing! Or maybe it's even in the depths of my ottoman in the Family Room where projects go to die....or be frogged.

It's funny how you can be cruising along and all of a sudden you notice your mojo has vanished. Nothing really sounds fun, and I don't even have the drive to cast on something new!

But I'm not going to sweat it...this happens from time to time! I'm thinking a little cross stitch project and just giving myself the chance …
