Crocheted Towel Toppers & Update

A quick mention about my crochet nose warmers.  Gave to the kids below are pictures of 2 of them.  If you make some, be sure your ear loops are directly across from each other.  The little boy's I missed by 1 stitch and didn't get eyes right so it's a little slanted.  The little girl's face is small so a 1.5" circle would have been better. Both liked them just the way they are.



Was going through some of my yarn looking for a color to use on a towel topper my daughter wants done.  Found 2 towels that I have had for a few years, think from when I was real medicated up, did toppers for them.  For those of you who have used my "Fudge Towel Topper" pattern (found on my Craftsy store:  https://www.craftsy.com/profile/jrubee-design.  I changed rows 19 through 21 to half double crochet, makes the neck a bit shorter (not much) but hoping it'll look better after lots of use (stretch wise anyway) remains to be seen.  The neck looks and is shorter in the pictures below.


Started a mop cover for Mom, making some pattern modifications so it'll be easier for her to get on but still have a nice fit.  Hope this time (have done 6 variations in the last few days) I can get it like I want.  If so, it'll become "The" pattern for all future ones.  The current version fits real good but has to be stretched some to get on especially acrylic yarn sticking to the Velcro.  Going to make her one out of cotton, also which you have to stretch some but it doesn't stick to the Velcro.  My daughter says it fits good but slides a little when wet and mopping.  Mom's 94 that's why I'm making some minor changes, 

I've rattled enough.  What's everyone working on?

Crochet On!
