The Ravelymics is almost here!!! Have you joined your teams and picked your events!!???
Well I have! I feel accomplished....I've joined Team Overly Ambitious Yet Plausibly Possible (OAYPP). I LOVE that name! don't you? I think so far we have 24 members, maybe more. Since we are so overly ambitious, we are involve in other teams too and a plethora of projects . We are doing projects right in line with the 2008 Olympics in Bejing. We need to cast on (or start chaining for crocheters) Aug 8 at 8pm Beijing time til closing ceremonies on Aug 24 and at 8pm Beijing time. All Ravthletes have until the flame is extinguished to finish their projects.
What events are you in???
I've joined the event for "Free-for-all Freestlye" I believe this event is for anything you want, like a free for all right? I thought so, so I am making the Kluster Crochet hook holder from Berroco.
The second event I've joined is the "HatDash" which for OBVIOUS reasons I've joined because I LOVE LOVE hats. I am doing the Nubby Brim Cloche for this event.
The third event I've joined is the "Vest Vault". I always liked to make a vest, here's my excuse....
i am doing the Wendy's WaistCoat featured in the Fall 2006 Interweave Crochet Magazine. It's like a waist Vest thingie that is absolutely cutesy.
I'm really excited. and hope i get done in time.....

Wavy Shell-Stitch Hoops
You'll need:
◊Size 1.25 mm crochet hook
◊Hoop earring, with at least a 2" diameter or 5mm diameter.
◊Floss thread, any color
◊Tapestry needle
Note: These rows are worked on the OUTSIDE of the hoop. It wouldn't appear very wavy at first, but when you are done with the two rows, push the work to the inside of hoop and TADA you have wavy! I promise.
Note 2: If you are an experienced hooker, and know the difference between the "right side of work" and the "wrong side of work", and are bothered when you see it and think " the wrong side is showing!" If you have this problem like I do, start crocheting from the post part on one earring and start from the clasp part of the other earring . Then you will have them match so that the right side of the work is showing on each earring.
Row 1: Work 56 sc around the hoop.
Row 2: Ch 1, turn, slst in first 2 stitches, *sc,hdc,dc,hdc,sc, (each in their own stitch) slst in the next 2 stiches repeat from * around.
Finish off. Sew in loose ends, and like I said before, push the work to the inside of hoop and TADA! Look at your cute earring, then repeat it again for the other earring!!!
JULY 22
I was just thinking of this pattern and came up with a new piece of info..... Depending on the hoop you are able to find, add multiples of 7 sc's in row one if your hoop is bigger, if the hoop is smaller, take away multiples of 7 sc's in row one.
any questions???? just ask, leeleelowe@gmail.com and i will answer on the double!!
PLEASE post your results on Ravelry i would love to see this in other colors and styles!!!
