Welcome back Fiber Arts Friday followers!
This week was crochet cotton week. I picked some up on sale and decided to play around with it and here are the 2 projects I’ve been playing with.
In the past I’ve told you about the crochet horse fly bonnets my mother-in-law makes and again I tried my hand at making my own. I still don’t quite have it right so there’ll be a few more failed attempts to show you along the way I’m sure. I don’t think my model horse Fay liked the crochet ears much either. Just look at that face.
My next project was my very first dish cloth. Yes surpisingly I have never made one. I think normally most people start learning to crochet by making one but not me. My first crochet project ever was a huge afghan. Darn thing took me 7 months to finish. Ok I’m off track again. Tada! I present you lemon and lime dish cloth. My hubby hates it, says it’s too 70’s looking so it’ll probably go to someone who will appreciate it more.
The pattern I used can be found HERE.
Lastly tomorrow starts Tour de Fleece! I just got my roving from Wonder Why Gal’s shop and can’t wait to spin every day for almost a month!
do you have a pattern for the fly mask. I really want ot make one for my daughter or can I buy the pattern.
thanks kim
The horse bonnet is quite ingenious and your dishcloth is beautiful. I copied the link so I can make some of my own, thanks for the link.

The fly bonnet is awesome. It reminds me of the festival head dresses elephants wear in India.

Your horse does look displeased with her bonnet
I like the dishcloth! You’ve gotta throw in some harvest gold to give it a really 70s vibe.

I love the colors and I don’t think it’s too 70′s then again, I love the browns, yellows, greens and orange that were used during that era.
The fly bonnets are the best! I really want to put a knitted hat on one of my Alpacas but I don’t want to rock the boat when it comes to easy herd health due to me not messing with them too much.
Thanks for sharing.
