My hooks have been super busy lately. Did a set of towel toppers for my daughter. Used Walmart brand, Mainstay, yarn. Have no complaints and it is very reasonable for similar quantity as RHSS or Caron. Did get the impression that is was a bit smaller than a normal worsted weight - 4 as I was able to use a G hook very comfortable. None the less am pleased with the yarn and the project. Used my
"Fudge Towel Topper" pattern, which is available on my Raverly store here: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/fudge-towel-topper-version-2.
Have another set to do for her, same design and will use same yarn. Work on those in a few days.
Below is a progress of my Calla Lily, Have it about completed now, Starched and drying. Made some butterflies to go with them, they are glued to the wire and drying. Wouldn't you know what I thought I had was a piece of Styrofoam to use to hold them up, wrong.
Anyway will post a completed version in a couple of days. Flower is 20 thread and 9 steel, measures about 2.5". Nice thing about my pattern can use about anything I want and just stop or add rounds to get to the size wanted. Will be writing it soon,

Crochet Towel Tppers
Well guy, the "Kitchen Towel Fairy" visited me the other evening and dropped of 2 towels for towel toppers! Not starting them until 2019 though. Going to use Emerald Green for the first set, haven't decided for the second set. My daughter is a big butterfly fan, so understand these. Fudge Towel Topper getting used again. Fudge Towel Topper.
I will be getting my Raverly store going in earnest in a few days, got side tracked with severe cold and trying to keep it from turning into phenomena the last few days. So, haven't booted my machine with all my patterns on it. Did get one pattern posted -- Plummy Spirit Gift Bag - 0.99 cents. This is a quick easy gift bag that will easily fit a 750 ml bottle and stretches for slightly bigger. Great to dress up a bottle of wine or spirits for a New Years Party!!!! Plummy Spirit Gift Bag.
Photo not available, moved it off this machine. Sorry. Check it out.

Crocheted Towel Toppers and Scarf
Hooks have been busy finished my daughter's towel toppers. Pleased with how they turned out. Used my "Fudge Towel Topper" pattern once again. Works up quickly and looks great. Fudge Towel Topper . Daughter really likes them for the Holiday season.
Last minute gift needed for a teenage girl so crocheted a scarf, just finished and have it hanging to loosen stitches. Hopefully won't have much or any blocking to do after it dries. No pattern just double crochet shell, chain and single crochet with a double crochet rice stitch edging. About 305 yards, about 53 X 6.5 inches ( a little shorter than I wanted but still a good size.) Infinity technique used joined (hdc), turned rounds. Need to take some time and get several patterns written after Christmas.
Happy Holidays.
Crochet On.
