Little Quickies -FO's
Yesterday my Fella and I purchased a new coffee table. It's got cool little hidden drawers on the sides and the top of the table has a glass covering. We've got all sorts of ideas of what to put underneath the glass for display/decorations so stay tuned for that. I decided that even though I am not the coaster-using kind of girl, this table would require some on account of the glass covering. So I whipped these little babies up. I don't crochet often so I was a little rusty at first.

Pattern:
Various sample flower patterns from some old photocopies I found.
Yarn:
Louet Euroflax - 1/4 ball leftover from a previous project. (Full ball: 270yrds/100g)
100% Wet Spun Linen
Crochet Hook: 3.50mm
Pros:
Quick and dirty. I like my crochet in small doses.
Cons:
Not the friendliest yarn to use. It's kind of rough on the hands but I still really like the results. I think I will leave this yarn for weaving from now on.

And speaking of weaving! After all the slow and steady I switched into speed-crafty mode this weekend. I was inspired into weaving this scarf while I was ogling my stash. (yeah, I admit it!) It's just a bunch of sock yarn but I love it. Sort of a retro orange flavour.

So many lovely fiber arts! I really like the snowflakes you made. What a great color. I would love to learn more about both crochet and weaving. The scarf is beautiful!
