Placemat and Coasters (and various coaster experiments)

Although it doesn't look like it in some of the pictures, all of these are made with the same black and sky blue yarn. 

The final set:

Tiny bag

Here's a tiny bag  from a pattern I found. It's supposed to be for wedding favors and the like. The green is supposed to be ribbon, but I didn't have any on hand when I made the bag. Nevertheless, you get the idea. :)

It's been quite some time since I've worked and finished my crochet projects. Needless to say I have a couple of larger things in the works. However, I have managed to work on a few smaller things.

This placemat is black with sky blue. I really like how the blue looks against the black! I'm currently working on a set of coasters in matching colors. :)

Shells Headband

I decided that I needed a break from the sweater that I'm making for something easier and quicker, so I made this shells headband.

For those of you interested in buying any of my creations, I've created a shop on Etsy.

Feel free to browse. :) You can also email me if you'd like something in particular that I don't have listed on my Etsy shop.

Branching Out

Lately, I've been trying to find patterns for things that I wouldn't have thought of crocheting. I have been searching for smaller projects, unlike a blanket or sweater, that don't take days to make. Yesterday, I made a ball for my dog. She loves it so much that I had to make her a second one. 

I also made a dishcloth with the same multicolored yarn.

Hair Stuff

I came across the patterns for these and thought I'd try them out. I really liked how they came out.

Hair ties. One in teal, the other's black. 

Headband in black.

Lighter brown headband.

I'll have to keep playing with the headband pattern. I can see the potential for some interesting headbands.
