I do not know if you can see the red string in the picture. ( If you cannot see the string, try clicking on the picture.) I crocheted that into my doily. I do not know where I got the string. Maybe I got it from my clothes. I do not know. I often find hairs in my doilies, too. I wish I had notice that I crocheted the string into the doily before I finished the doily!
Here is another picture of the doily:
Do you ever found hairs and strings into your projects?
Lengthening a pattern is really easy. I lengthened the pattern on an apron I made with my grandma. ( I will post about the apron soon.) I wanted the apron longer than the pattern was. Grandma said I could lengthen it.
I have been doing a sewing series. This is the third post in the series. Here are the links to posts number one and two.
My sister is pinning the pattern to her fabric.
This is my fabric cut out.

I did a guest post on my mom’s site last week. I am sorry that I did not post about it before now.
Mom and Joy in My Kitchen are doing a series on nut allergies. Joy in My Kitchen has had a nut allergy since she a child. She is an adult now. Mom is posting about my nut allergy which I have only had for a few months.
I hope you enjoy the post!
There is a rabbit living under my family’s back deck! It is really cute. The rabbit is probably about a year old. It is a cottontail rabbit. I can see why they named them “cottontail.” Its tail is a white ball of fluff.

Isn’t it cute?
I have several suggestions on finding cheap yarn or thread. I like to have a lot of yarn and thread on hand for my different projects, but I do not like spending a lot of money on it.
Yarn and thread can be very expensive. I have found several ways though, to help me save money on yarn and thread.
One way to fined cheap yarn or thread is to watch for sales in newspaper adds. I often find yarn and thread this way.
Another way to find yarn or thread is to go to garage sales. I have never found yarn or thread at a garage sale, but my friend has.
My crochet teacher often buys yarn in big bulks. It is cheaper that way. I do not make a lot of things with yarn, so I have never bought it in big bulks. However, I do not suggest buying thread by the bulk. It is cheaper, but it was difficult to use. When I used it, it got tangled.
I have also ordered crochet thread online. I have been able to find some good deals on hard to find thread this way.
I finished school this week. I am going to try to crochet, knit, and sew more. I hope that I will also be able to post more often.
Some of the projects I want to do are to crochet hats and doilies. I want to knit a blanket, scarf, and dish clothes. I also want to sew with my grandma.
What are you planning to crochet, knit, or sew this summer? Please, post a comment and, if you like my site, follow my site.
A few weeks ago it rained. Late in the evening my sister notice a rainbow. I went to take some pictures, and then I noticed it was a double rainbow! I had not seen a double rainbow up to this point, and I doubt I will see one again.
Several months ago, my grandma came to visit my family. I made her some dish clothes. She loves the way they wring out. It was an easy present to prepare, plus I was running out of projects to do.
For all but one of these I used the pattern I posted here. The tan and white dish cloth is the one from a different dish cloth pattern.
Here are some pictures:
Here are all the dish clothes (except for one blue one I did not take a picture of).
This is the one that is different from the others.
Here are all of the similar ones (but the blue one).
Here is one alone.
This is a dishcloth my sister knitted. It is only her second dish cloth!
I finished my first crocheted hat this week. My family got me a hat book for my birthday. I have never made a hat before, and I really enjoyed making it.
I finished the hat Wednesday. I am going to make another hat for my brother and sister. They wanted a hat, too. I have started on my brother’s, but my sister has not decided what kind of hat she wants. I will post pictures of their hats when I finish them.
Here are some pictures of me with my hat on.
