No. 45 - Crochet Arm Warmer for Sophie



















Sophie liked the pair I made for Sarah, so I made this one for her. Only one side, haha, because I didn't get around to the second one and she said one was enough. 100% acrylic yarn, 3.75 mm hook.

No. 44 - Crochet Water Bottle Strap for Sophie






















Another water bottle strap, also 100% acrylic yarn and 3.75 mm hook. My own pattern.

No. 43 - Crochet Water Bottle Strap for Rachel


















Made this one with 100% acrylic yarn with a 3.75mm hook, I think. The topmost section in turquoise was added on when it turned out a tad short for taller bottles. My own pattern.

No. 42 - Crochet Rainbow Rabbit







































Made this one with 100% acrylic DK, I think 3.25mm hook. I always can't remember because I'll be onto my next project by the time I type them up and usually it'll be some other hook size.

So excited to give it to my sister-in-law, I again forgot to take photos before handing it over. That turned out to be a good thing because when she kindly took photos to send back to me, they were much better than I could possibly have taken indoors. Love the grassy background that she chose, from her rooftop garden, as you can see above!

The pattern is my own, although inspired by the creatures from Bobi Craft that we saw sold at a gift shop at West Coast Plaza.


No. 41 - Crochet Elephant


























Made this with 100% acrylic DK yarn, I think 3.5mm hook. Got the pattern from allaboutami. It's a great site with many cute animal patterns. Giving it to a little boy I will be visiting in San Francisco end of this month.
