Crocheted Projects
No need to adjust your monitor - and it's not the night-cap you're enjoying either! It's DD#1's latest afghan crocheted in Red Heart space-dyed acrylic yarns! Predictably, about 2/3 of the way through she ran out and I spent some very frustrating time searching the internet to find the right shades since, of course, they are discontinued colors! Eventually though I did manage to find the right ones from various places and she finished. It really does look blurry in person, it's the strangest thing!
One of her other passions is music - ocarinas, to be exact. She crocheted these holsters to prevent the ocarinas from getting chipped as they are mostly made of ceramic or clay. These are simply free-form crochet using the instruments as guides. I have included a YouTube video of her playing for you to enjoy.

What an interesting affect that yarn gives! I love the ocarinas and their cases. We had my grandfather's ocarina a long time ago but I never did master it. I'll bet my brother still has it! DD#1 is multitalented!

That is very nice work. My grand daughter, Ana, would love the blanket. She wants to have a green and purple room. Surprisingly, her mother had a green and purple room which we dubbed the "Easter Egg" room. Those colors do work together when carefully planned.

What a beautiful sound the ocarina makes

Orcorina holders, eh? That's not what they look like to me. lol
Love the afgan, tho I don't think I'd be able to sleep under it...or watch TV...or even knit. But I really do love it.
