New Item Sore Ear Savers

https://www.etsy.com/listing/793335451/ear-saver-mask-elastic-holder-helps?ref=shop_home_active_3&crt=1

This is not a medical device and is not endorsed by any medical agency. I am not a medical professional.


Help essential workers with this Sore Ear Saver (SES)! Helps keep the elastic from rubbing on the ears from masks. Just slip the elastic ends over the buttons behind the head, allowing a worker’s tired ears a reprieve.

It is made from acrylic yarn and wood buttons.

It is said to be safe to put in an autoclave for disinfecting. I don't know how an autoclave works, so use your own judgement. Otherwise it's washer/dryer safe warm temp. No bleach. Each button was attached with the same yarn for extra strength.

More colors being added but if you have a color preference, send me a message and i will do my best to accommodate. Colors may appear slightly different than shown due to device being used for viewing.

Reusable- Washable (no bleach) Please follow your rules for disinfecting.

Approx. Size:

3 inches x 1 inch Will stretch slightly

The size was based on the pattern i followed and tried on an adult male head.

More Nest Shipped Out Today

I shipped out 13 crocheted nests in mixed sizes to a wildlife rescue in North Carolina today. Here's a photo , one large not shown.

Last week i sent out my first 5 nests to a rescue in Florida. I was able to send out more this time as i found a cheaper mailing source, almost half of what i paid the last time. 

I donate my materials, crocheting and shipping costs. If you would like to help me out , proceeds from my shop, Debbie Crochets will assist in covering the shipping costs and supplies associated with sending cost-free nests to wildlife rehabilitators around the world

For the price of a sale of just a hanging kitchen towel, i can ship out a bunch of nests, or if you wish, you can make a donation to my Paypal (link on the right) Thank you

Another Afghan

Well i finished all of the sweaters and she loved them. (Whew)
So now it's slowed down so i'm adding more items to my shop. One of the most recent is this patchwork afghan. I usually make them in a bunch of different colors per square,(bottom one-sold) but i tried making this one a little different. It kind of reminds me of the bus from the Partridge family (Those younger than 50's will probably have to Google that).

 I've also made more towels,slippers, bags and added to my de stash supply section.

A Large Custom Order & A Pattern Review

I've been working on a pretty big big order, Four sweaters. I sent her the first one and she loved it. So glad because i'm my own worse critic. It's a crochet pattern by Glenda Bohard-Avila called Gypsy Cardigan. She sells the pattern on Etsy.
 Gypsy Cardigan 

The cardigan is made with an open work pattern of treble crochet stitches, and comes with directions for different sizes. The first one i made (shown) was made with purple acrylic yarn called 0356 Amethyst by Red Heart. The pattern said you can use either acrylic or cotton. I'm now making the second one using a cotton yarn- Peaches & Creme Ecru. I bought all the store had, and figured i could go on line to get more, but i haven't found any. It only came in small skeins of 2.5 oz. I would have preferred to get it by the cone so less joining. I tried searching on line, but the few i found where expensive, like $8. and i only paid $1.77 in Walmart. I may have to be creative here with a color close enough and work it in the trim or something if i run short.

The only thing is although it's a fairly easy pattern, it's a lot of counting so it's not one of those patterns you can sit in front of the t.v. with. I foolishly though so and had to frog about two hours work out of the current sweater. Has increases at the ends.
