i’m addicted to stumbleupon. i admit it…totally addicted. so lately i’ve been stumbling the crochet thread and have found tons of cool projects.
in the midst of doing big projects such as afghans or cocoons, i like to take a bit of a break and do something small and quick. it helps to me to feel like i’m accomplishing something and that my crochet isn’t endless. today’s small project was a dice bag. i came across a blog called shala-beads. she mentioned that she loves to crochet but has a hard time finding projects that would appeal to her teenage son and husband. i, too, have that problem!
i tried crocheting hats but though they accepted them, i haven’t seen them on their heads again. the older, thomas, is always cold and his hat wasn’t tightly crocheted enough. the younger, tyler, rarely wears hats so his is probably under his bed now. my husband has been blunt and said he really doesn’t need anything…thanks. so that is that!
shala had this cute little pattern for a dice bag which is perfect for my gaming husband and older son. the younger collects monster caps to see how many he drinks (bad mom, bad mom!). so either way, this pouch would be perfect!
i followed her directions which a couple of tiny modifications and this is what i ended up with:
dice pouch or cap pouch...
full pouch...
yes, the ribbon looks terrible. no, i won’t keep it that way. i didn’t have any in either a matching blue or green, which i would have preferred and i only had black with other colors on it or that shown. it’s not horrible but it will do for now.
