Button Inspired Mobile Phone Covers. A Personal Note: Winter in Northwestern Pennsylvania.

As can be expected after a couple dozen pair, I got bored with crocheting baby booties and turned my hand to other projects.

One current project is cell phone covers inspired by my button jar. I LOVE collecting buttons and these are a few from the button stash.

The mobile phone cover pattern is from Lily® Sugar’n Cream® and is very simple. As usual, changing the size of the hook or yarn or tension will change the size of the finished product.

Work In Progress. Crocodile Stitch Booties.

Call it being on a roll or stuck in a rut, but lately baby booties are all that seems to be getting made in this house. To the left is pictured yesterday morning's worktable with the most recent batch of Crocodile Stitch Booties made with Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable yarn in the 'Parrot' and 'Echo' colorways.

The great thing about this yarn in addition to its durability is an incredibly soft texture. While working with it over the last week I was pleasantly surprised that it didn't dry out my hands like acrylic yarns tend to do. 

Today at about 5 pm I'll be giving away a pair of the completed booties via the Petunia Magpie Facebook page. YES FREE!!!! Simply 'like' and 'comment' to be entered in the drawing. Here are pictures of the four choices. Not on Facebook? Comment here on the blog which pair you'd like to win and you'll be included in the drawing.
