Remember me being a smurf?

I never said what I did with the Easter Egg Dyed yarn. Well, I stared at that skein for a while. And the more I stared at it the more I hated the pink color because it was so bright. Hello 80's! I have no desire to revisit you...ever. So, I let it sit. And then I finally decided to do something with it because it was taking up space in my drawer. I turned it into two dryer balls because I needed more anyway. And then I crocheted a cover over the dryer balls for two reasons...1) I didn't felt them because when I felt them they fall apart and then it's a waste of good wool and 2) the cover prevents unravelling at a later date even with successful  felting. I think that they actually turned out really cute. And I can't mistake them in the clothing pile when I'm folding laundry. My other two are brown and they kind of get lost in the crowd. These have been used already for a little over a month and I love them! I have enough of that dyed wool left to make probably one more small dryer ball. Or that's my hope anyway. ;-)

Unpaper Towels

I made these for a friend because she's been so wonderful these past few months in helping me out with the kids. The time I put in on these which was actually two rounds of serging because I had timing issues with my machine and needed to take it in for servicing and I bought cheap thread....a mistake I'll never make again for sure! So, after all the trouble of getting these done for her I finally gave them to her. She loved them and already has mulitple uses for them in her home. I didn't think to take a picture of the back which is just ivory colored terry. I'll have to remember for the future. For my friend I just cut out 12x12 squares in the two fabrics and then serged them together. They are the perfect size for her kitchen and needs.

Now I just have to make the set for us to use and I already have the fabric picked out as a little bit of happiness for the hubs. He has a thing for chili peppers so I picked out chili pepper fabric. Now just to get the time to cut them so I can serge them up.
