Christmas Elf Sweater

All year long, but especially at Christmas time, I see people asking in the crochet groups, “What do you make for men?” Men don’t wear as many accessories, and traditionally crocheted kitchen gifts are for women. Men can be difficult to crochet or knit for unless you like making sweaters. This year Helen Wilkinson from Sunflower Cottage Crochet put together a wonderful blog hop filled with gift ideas for the men in our lives! Each day through the end of November, a different pattern will be featured on the SunflowerCottageCrochet.com blog. https://sunflowercottagecrochet.com/just-for-him-event/

If you prefer to get the bundle of 14 patterns to crochet for men, please visit https://lisamff–sunflowercottagecrochet.thrivecart.com/just-for-him-bundle-2021/

Today’s pattern is Men’s fingerless gloves by ChristaCo Designs. Get your free for 24 hours only; visit Sunflower Cottage Crochet to find out how. http://e pattern will be featured each day on the SunflowerCottageCrochet.com blog. https://sunflowercottagecrochet.com/just-for-him-event/

Today is my feature day, and I’m offering a bit of whimsy for the bowling husband or dad. Crochet this boob-shaped bowling ball bag in cotton yarn. This simple design is worked as 2 circles which are crocheted together, and then handles are crocheted on the top. The bag can be lined with cotton flannel to help absorb the oily residue that a bowling ball picks up from the lanes and from the bowler’s hands. Give Dad a little giggle this Christmas with a slightly risque gift! Get your free for 24 hours only; visit Sunflower Cottage Crochet to find out how. http://e pattern will be featured each day on the SunflowerCottageCrochet.com blog. https://sunflowercottagecrochet.com/just-for-him-event/

TSA Rules for Crochet – Mother’s Day Poetry – Poodle Eyeglass Holder Crochet Pattern

One of the questions that I see over and over in the crochet groups on Facebook is, “Can I take my crochet hooks on a plane?” Personally, I have never had a problem with my hooks, and I carry a small nail clipper rather than scissors just to be safe. According to the TSA website, crochet hooks and knitting needles are allowed.

Scissors are allowed, but they must be less than 4″.

Airline travel involves lots of down time, so I always pack a small project in my carry-on to keep me occupied on long flights and layovers. There’s nothing more satisfying than turning down time into productive time. Enjoy your summer vacation and happy crocheting!

The latest edition to my pattern collection is a series of bowling ball carriers, but these would make great carry-on bags for your travels. Stay tuned for the fourth in the series along with an ebook of novelty bowling ball bags. https://www.myfingersfly.com/products/eyeball-bowling-ball-bag-crochet-pattern

Take Baby to Work Day Sweaters – Military Edition

To celebrate Month of the Military Child, I am giving away a copy of Military Baby Sweaters Kindle book. Like the post and tag a friend by 4/28/2019 to be entered. See my Instagram for details. http://instagram.com/p/Bwr1M6fBfAX/

If you’re interested in a ready-made item, I have green camo, blue camo, and sailor sweaters available in Newborn-3 month size. https://my-fingers-fly.myshopify.com/admin/collections/192715014

Poodle Eyeglass Holder

My most popular pattern last Mother’s Day was the Poodle Eyeglass Holder. This free pattern is available as a free download on Ravelry with instructions for crochet or to make on the Addi King knitting machine. The pattern is also available translated to Dutch by Jeannette Kemp – Poedel Brilhouder. It’s a great Mother’s Day gift, and it also works well for those of you who do spring craft shows. Several other eyeglass holders are also available including elephant, tiger, lamb, and clown. Post a photo of your poodle to Instagram and tag @myfingersfly. I’d love to see them all!
