Crocheted Scrunchies
My daughter asked me to crochet some scrunchies for her. Not that much work, I thought, so one evening, after she went to bed, I started crocheting. Turned out next morning that the scrunchies that I made weren't exactly the ones she had in mind. She meant scrunchies like the fabric ones: a tunnel with a piece of elastic in it.

*PS* Thank you very much for your lovely comment on today's outfit post. Seeing as how that brooch isn't terribly old (I suspect it's from the 80s, but it could be even newer), I bet there are still others like it out there. If I ever see one for sale online, I'll be sure to send the link your way, dear gal.
Big hugs,
♥ Jessica
