Saturday. I needed a take-along project, but what did I have to work on? Nothing, really.
And then I saw a picture flash by of someone wearing a necklace that looked like string lights...
String lights... That starts with an S. Perfect.
Regular readers may recall last year that I found some patterns via Pinterest for Christmas. I started this crochet pattern for string lights. But then I got sucked in by a Christmas tree, and the lights fell by the wayside.
Now's the perfect time to pick this back up. I finally got all the red bulbs that I had made attached to "sockets":
And I made a bulb in pink (and also attached the "socket"):
Now I just need to figure out where I'm going to hang this (during the Christmas season, naturally). That will help me determine how many bulbs I want to make. That's the major reason this project hasn't gone anywhere.
Because once all the bulbs are made, I then make a long string/wire, and then I attach the bulbs to it. But how long do I want the string? How many bulbs will I need? Until I know those answers, I'm kind of spinning wheels when it comes to making bulbs.
Then again, each bulb doesn't take too much yarn. I can use scraps for this. So, if I have too many bulbs, I can make another string light project for somewhere else.
And then where does it end? Hence why I've been a bit flummoxed by what to do with these.
These are questions for another time. Or, at least until the answer presents itself to me.
