Grabbed another one of these quilt magic kits to do. This one took the least amount of time out of all the ones I have done.
Not sure why the pictures look blurry, when you open them they are fine.
I was busy in May and June teaching my student to bead. We started with large pony beads and worked our way down to size 6 beads. The seed beads I normally use are 11. I was pretty impressed with what they were able to accomplish. I nearly went crazy wondering how they can make knots in their thread when beading but can’t make a know at the end of their thread. We also did soapstone carving kits that I ordered from a place in Edmonton. They turned out awesome. What have you ladies been up to? Her
Hi all,
I have no idea where I found Hook and Fibre Made but I love her afghans!! This is the second one I have finished. It almost didn’t happen because I couldn’t find one colour of yarn. Who knew all I had to do was drive to North Battleford’s WalMart to find it!!
It was so nice out one afternoon so we took advantage of it and took our crafting outside.
I found another afghan that I want to make. One more to finish before I can start another one!!
Happy Friday

Took a spring wreath that belonged to my late grandma and added some extra foliage to the middle. The first wreath was also constructed by me with some extra input from Grandma.

These banners were part of the Advent box that I got. They are about four feet long.
They have hangers that uses magnets to hold the canvas between to pieces of wood. That is shown in the second picture. Now to figure out how to store them.
I was asked to make a bulky yarn afghan so I did!! I did some research on how to hand crochet and got to it!!
I ordered 12 balls of yarn but wasn’t sure that was going to be enough. You know I have an issue with making things “big” enough so you won’t be surprised to know I have 4 more balls of yarn sitting in my shopping cart! lol!! Guess I won’t need them!
Good day ladies,
I am still on the crocheting train these days and it is all Hook and Fibre Made’s fault! Her patterns are so easy to follow and work up quick! I love her colour choices, too!!
I started the Chunky Waves Throw a while ago. It is 8.5/11 done!
It appears that I don’t have enough of the blue-ish colour. It is called Night Sky! And guess what??? I can’t find another ball of it in Canada that isn’t going to cost me an arm and a leg. I am going to get Raivyn to pick up one ball of it in Minot for me. So, until that happens, this one is on hold.
In true Christa fashion, I have started another afghan. I took a chance and ordered some thick, chunky yarn. It is very polyester like. Will probably fall apart or disintegrate if it is washed but it is going to look great! I think I made it too big! Can you imagine? Me making something too big!! It is the length of our oversized couch! I am seeing a theme here!! 6 balls of yarn used by hand crocheting and 6 to go!
The colour is sage green, however it sure doesn’t look like it in the pictures.
I am going to try to finish this one today! I have to figure out how to crochet upside down to do it or have arm extensions! I have to lay it out on the island to work on it. It is now too wide and will have to fall off the side for me to finish it. It is going to be a challenge but worth it!!
I’ve discovered that trips to Regina go much faster when I am doing something so I started another afghan. It is called The Painted Snowdrift Throw by Hook and Fibre Made. It is a fun pattern to the wave develop as you go.
It is going to be a double sided pattern - emphasizing different yarn on each side.
Not sure the espresso colour was the right one to use with the other two but it is what I had.
Other than crocheting, I’ve been watching lots of hockey lately!! Two games at once, at times!
What have you two been up to??
Happy Sunday!

Hey all,
February 8th and it was +9C here today!!
This weather is so odd this winter.
I finished this throw last night! The pattern is by Hook and Fibre Made and is called the Original Chunky Evergreen Throw. Once I figured out the pattern, this throw worked up fairly quickly.
I’ve started another throw! The pattern is called The Chunky Wave Throw and is by Hook and Fibre Made, too! You can see the wave starting already - only on the second row!
The pattern used Woolease - Thick & Quick but it is not in production anymore. I decided to use RE-SPUN Thick & Quick instead. It is soft but hairy!!
I’m hooked!! lol!!

Good afternoon ladies,
Here’s my first finish this year. Admittedly, it was mostly done over break but I stalled out at the binding. No destination yet, it might go into the retirement gift pile. What have you been up to? Her
I have no idea when I started this afghan but that doesn’t matter because it is done!! I did enjoy Tunisian crocheting for this one. I also love the colours in it.
I wasn’t 100% sure how to finish the edges so I single crocheted around once, then added 2 rounds of double crochet and finished it off with one round of single crocheting.
Honestly, I was just trying to use up all the yarn I had!!
ME!
