Oooo, that's pretty!

I don't know where July has gone, but it's almost August, so we need a new theme!

August theme: Pool noodles!

Lol. All I can picture is a bowl of blue noodles...

Fack, I'm too tired for an official bad joke/pun filled announcement.

August theme is: Pool Noodles

Ready? Go!

WOOOO! POOL NOOODLES!

Lol, I could totally make the fastest pool noodle ever. Make a small tube on the efg (extra fine gauge) sock loom, stuff a pipe cleaner in it, done.
XD

Make Derpy his own pool noodle to beat people away from his cookies with!

"Yeah! Make me a pool noodle!"

..... wow ok xDDD

*sewing a doll dress*

Finishing up a painting commission today! Should be getting paid and shipping it this week! 8D

Yay! That's excite!

I thought about working on a few different things yesterday, but started on a tiny rainbow dragon instead. Hopefully I have more of the yarn I was using though, because I ran out of the bit I had been using after just the head and back.
I think I do have more though because it was the stuff I used for my dreamcatcher wings last year and there should be AT LEAST an orange to green color gradient segment of it left and that should be enough for possibly 2-3 more parts.

Den, I feel you (construction everywhere sucks!), yet that quote cracks me up :p-grin:

ah, so it's not just Pennsylvania!

LOL!!! XD

yep, it's everywhere!

*mutters to myself about how all we have to do is use better materials and stop using the cheapest crap for roads and this wouldn't be such an epidemic*
*sigh*

Anyway, how pool noodle?

does this count if it's in a pool? XD

Lmfao!!

I'm half tempted to just crochet a doll-sized pool noodle tbh because I have no idea
Pool noodle cover?
That weird hack on facebook where you make a fake column with pool noodles?
I am confusion

i'm always confused, so welcome the club! XD

Pool noodle light saber
Pool noodle mini shower
Pool noodle floating lights
Pool noodle lounger

You're welcome. :p-cool:

Oh man, I have a great, silly pool noodle idea...

Also, someone was totally selling pool noodle lightsabers at the farmer's market.

I'm still working on that knitted baby doll ensemble... I've got two different colors of grosgrain ribbon and I'm having a hard time picking which color to use as accents. Mint or Lavender...

Does it count that I cut a pool noodle so I could lean on my desk without the edge digging into my arms? xD

...yeah. Home improvement qualifies as hobby.

I'd certainly say that counts. and that's pretty clever.

Not the initial pool noodle hobby craft I think of, but it totally counts!

YAY I WIN! But what do I win? NOTHING! YAAAAY!

Mom splurged on a 72 dollar crochet hook set.

... Are they made of fancy wood or something?

Damn! That better be a really good set!

They are her favorite ergonomic hooks and she has been wanting a set of them a while and finally took the leap.

Ohh...yeah, ergonomic ones can be pretty pricy.
But you know what? I bought an ergonomic loom hook on clearance, and I 100% support buying ergonomic stuff for crafting now because it is so oddly comfy to use despite it's size. Most loom hooks I can only use for so long, but I can use the ergonomic one for hours with no finger/hand pain.

I've never tried an ergonomic hook, but my hands hurt most when doing regular knitting... because I always manage to poke my fingers with the needles somehow -.-"

Ah, that makes sense. They'll be worth the money.

I always had that problem back when I was first learning. I think for me it was because my tension was off and my stitches were too tight on the needle, so I needed to use my finger to help get the stitch I was working, off without other stitches slipping. Or something of that nature. It's been almost a decade since I last tried knitting on needles...

i use and love the clover soft touch hooks. i have them for my C - J (including 7) hooks =)

Addi Swing hooks is what mom got, she has two and will wind up with one double because of that, but she loves the ones she has and her hands are getting worse in general so it's a solid investment.
