I Prefer To Wear My Sushi

I did it! I finished the sushi scarf from Twinkie Chan's Book, Crochet Goodies For Fashion Foodies. I'm so excited! It definitely is a lot of work weaving in all of the yarn tails from the individual pieces, but it was worth it. It's definitely a conversation piece. Plus you can take some of the patterns for the pieces and make all sorts of stuff. For example, I'm going to take the Maki pattern (the round roll) and make a rug or a purse entirely out of those pieces. The shrimp pattern could double as little whales, so with a few googly eyes and blue yarn, I may try to do something with those. The instructions are really easy to follow, and if you get stuck (like I did), get on Twinkie's blog, you may even get help from the Goody Master herself! Plus, I'm always here if you have questions. So what are you waiting for, go buy this book!

Sushi Scarf! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this book!...and so does Lucy :D

I found this other really cute pattern for a little clutch, it's super easy! Plus you can adorn it with whatever you like or just leave it plain. I added a flower to mine. Pretty versatile little bag that only took about 2 hours total to make. You can find the pattern here. I think the next one I make will have a few little sushi pieces as decoration to go with the scarf I made.

I'm not entirely sure what I will crochet next; but I found some really cute patterns on Ravelry.com (it's free)! All you have to do is create a login, plus most of the cute patterns are free.

Had to add a modely shot! Although I think I sunburned my eyeballs taking this picture...OUCH! What an idiota ;)
