I made reusable water balloons for some Christmas presents and a birthday present. Six balloons plus a bucket of water is a lot of fun!

Does the quilted part go between two walls? You could have several inserts and change depending on your mood!

How exactly do those work? I know they are crochet, but have no idea how they hold water…

mellybelly81 · January 18, 2020, 4:38am

You use chenille yarn so they soak up heaps of water and make a big wet splat on the person you throw them at! You can throw them a couple of times before they need to be re-soaked.

Finally finished the baby overalls. It took me way longer than I wanted and not because it was hard but because work was busy and exhausting. But yay…now I can move onto the next project.

That is exactly how it works! I have a template now that I can use to make more inserts so I’m planning on doing that

@poetrylover828

Do you happen to know what fabric this little…gopher? And deer are?

The colors of this final piece speak to me!!

@tendstowardschaos Yes! It’s now living on one of our 3 or four bookshelves (individual shelves, not full bookcases) full of Pokemon stuffies.

Chenille yarn…thanks! I have a couple of young great nephews that would find them fascinating!

@JoyfulClover I do it’s the 2018 Quilt Minnesota line of fabric. Minnesota has a yearly shop hop that they get fabric printed for. I know you could find some of it in some shops but there were pieces in the line that sold out during the shop hop.

Of course! Whelp, I will check anyway! Thank you for letting me know!

poetrylover828 · January 18, 2020, 6:16pm

I know Colorz in Brainerd/Baxter had some. I’m not sure what they might have left but doesn’t hurt to check them out.

I should be working on professor things but that sounds boring today so I made a hat instead.

AIMR · January 18, 2020, 9:21pm

Finished two shawlettes in two days! Details in the Crochet Shawl along…Binge watching Grace & Frankie…

JoyfulClover · January 18, 2020, 10:05pm

Thank you! I will check!

AntBee · January 18, 2020, 10:58pm

Nice work! The colors are so cheery together.

I’m looking forward to crafting to this, too! Such a great show!

mellybelly81 · January 18, 2020, 11:17pm

Those overalls are so cute @Rlynn! And that hat!

mellybelly81 · January 18, 2020, 11:21pm

@AIMR I explained my pattern in the project post if you are interested in making them

Your shawl is beautiful and you did it so fast!

Lynx · January 18, 2020, 11:54pm

Meh, that hat needed to be made! It looks awesome on you!

@AIMR your shawlette is gorgeous!
