Crocheting
Here is the stack of dish clothes I made to practice my crocheting. I found these patterns on YouTube. How to crochet a dishcloth in three parts here is part one. Sorry, but I can't seem to find the other tutorial on YouTube that I used to do the single crocheted dishcloth.

Using the two stitches that I learned doing the dish clothes I made the scarf on the right first. The pattern is from FaveCraft it is called Potato Chip Scarf, it's a free pattern too. Then I was reading a friend's blog and she has been crocheting too and did some of bobwilson123's cowl tutorials that are on YouTube. So, I looked it up on YouTube and found her tutorials. That is where the other scarf came from it's the Mobius Scarf, I just didn't sew it together.
Then I used the same pattern for the scarf below, that I just finished yesterday, just in time before all the cold, blowing snow started. This one I did sew together, but without the twist when sewn. I made it to wrap it goes around my neck and I can wrap it over my head. It worked great this morning when I was out shoveling snow.
Since last time...


I hope everyone had a happy Christmas. I didn't take any pictures! I know, I can hardly believe it myself. But I did worked that weekend so I was a little out of it. And I hope your New Year's Eve/Day was a safe and happy one! Again, I was working. LOL!


I am working on two new patterns, Hawaiian Lei Bracelet and Hot Air Balloon Ornament #1. I plan to do 12 hot air balloon ornaments this year, sure hope I can think up that many. I have one done, just need to finish the tutorial and I have one more idea dancing around in my head. If you haven't LIKED my ZaneyMay Facebook page, it would be great to see you there.

Until next time, hug your babies or pets and smile, I hope the world smiles back at you.
