More crochet



I found the perfect yarn for the cow.  It is a narrow mercerized cotton that should be wonderful to feel when worked up.

The slug is stuffed and closed, I just need to make an eye I like and figure out how to make the tentacles. Her birthday was the 31st, hopefully she'll have it before the end of June.

Have several cotton skeins to make more summer caps for L. I want to finish at least one of those before I start the cow.

BOOKS!

Thanks to Swagbucks and MyPoints (earned enough for $40 in Amazon gift cards!) I got four crochet books... well, I have three and one is on the way. I got two by Christen Haden: Creepy Cute Crochet and Yummi Gurumi. I now have the patterns to make a crocheted bacon, lettuce, tomato sandwich... and a crocheted Death. ;-)

Besides that I got Crochet Patterns for Dummies and am waiting on Learn to Crochet Visually. Whee! I'm going to finish the present I'm working on for my sister, and then I have another present to make - Cameron the Cow. I just need to pick out the yarn for that.
