Cuz it’s chilly in the fridge.

I’ve been teaching myself to knit and crochet out of a book and through online videos but there’s really nothing like a live person teaching you how to do something. On Monday night, I took a Crochet Basics class (at the same place I took my sewing classes) and pretty much got a private lesson since enrollment was low (basically me and another person).

So tonight, as I watched TV, I practiced some basic crochet stitches, tried to read a pattern, and made this! I call it a Super-Duper Egg Cozy. Haha. It’s basically a start of a beanie with an extra ridge (the turtleneck part of the cozy) made with back post single crochet. Wow, that sounds fancy. His hat is just the remnant of a project that I started and gave up on.

Now this little egg has something to wear as he awaits his turn to be eaten. Muhahaha…

I love this doggie bowl. I bought Koa two of them from Target a few years ago but unfortunately one of them broke last year. Bummer. The classic souffle dish style and simple “good dog” badge is perfect. I still haven’t been able to find a replacement bowl for his water yet.
