Spicy Egg Salad

I wanted an egg salad sandwich the other day but I didn't want one made the normal way. So, here we have a new version.

2 hard boiled eggs

About 2-3 tbsp. Mayonnaise (your choice)

1-2 tsp. Wasabi paste

1/2 tsp. Onion powder

The more wasabi paste you put in it; the spicier it will get.

1-2 slices bread (I usually cut one piece of bread in half).

This can make up to two full sized sandwiches. Recipe can be doubled. Enjoy!!

Crochet Swinging Fairy Chair

Hello again everyone. I created this little swinging chair for a bunch of fairies that I made and wanted to put out into my backyard & keep high enough so that the dogs couldn't get to them. I don't have a lot of trees; so, I came up with the idea of a swing they could sit in that I could hang from what branches I do have.

Abbreviations & Materials

SC,= single crochet

St = stitch

CH = chain/chains

F/O= fasten off

Sl St =slip stitch

BLO= back loop only

Sc2tog = single crochet 2 together

3.5-4mm hook (or size desired).

You can make this as small or large as needed. Any color or type of yarn.

Ch 16, sc in second stitch from hook & each st across, ch 1,  turn (15).

Row 1-9(more for a wider seat).

Row 10: sc across in blo, ch 1, turn.

Row 11-21 sc across, ch 1, turn.

Row 22: *sc2tog, ch 4, sl st into top of st*, repeat from *to*, f/o.

This creates a little picot design on top of the chair.

About half way down on the back side, join yarn & ch 8, (or number needed), sl st into bottom corner of seat, ch 1, turn, sc back across & f/o. Do this for both sides. This gives you a bit of an arm rest kind of thing.

Depending on how long you want the chain's that it will hang by will depend on how many chains to make. For my first one, I only chained 25 for the top back & 35 for the bottom & crochet together at the top to make one loop.

Hope you like my little swinging chair. Any questions; please don't hesitate to ask. Would love to see some pictures!

hi

Windsock

Hello again everyone. This time I have for you a windsock crochet pattern. 

Materials needed; 1 round hoop. 1 5mm hook, 4 stitch markers.  The hoop can be made of plastic, wire or wood. The bigger the circle the more stitches you will need. Any kind of yarn can be used for this. The lighter the yarn the more flowing it will be.

This is what mine looked like at the beginning. I have about 134 stitches on the circle.

Abbreviations:

SC= single crochet

DC= double crochet

CH= chain

DEC= decrease

ST= stitch/stitches

Sl St= slip stitch

PM= place marker

This is done in the round. CH 1 or 2 do not count as a stitch. 

CH 1, with hook wrap the yarn around the circle to create a sc. Do this all the way around. Do not join. PM here and move marker up every 2 rows.  Continue doing sc in each stitch for about 10 rounds or rows, (longer if you want). This is where you will start your decreases. Divide total number of stitches by 4.  Place a stitch marker in those spots. This is where the Dec will be placed or close. You want the piece to end with about 50 rounds or rows & end with about about 20 stitches total, fasten off. 

At the beginning or top. Find your halfway point then half again. Place a marker in those spots. Tie yarn to one spot & sc 38 chains, turn sc 37 back at last stitch get your hook around the circle and make a sl St & sc back up 37, f/o, leave about a 3 inch tail. Repeat for your remaining spots. When done with all 4 pieces; tie them together and cut off excess.

It should look something like this. Finished!

NOTE:  If you want to put a design onto the thing that is fine. Just remember to adjust the stitches as you go down to the narrowist point, so it doesn't get too wonkie.
