Crochet Pineapple

When I think of summer, I especially think of certain fresh fruits. Fresh pineapple is one of them. 


Pineapple reminds me of several vacations in Florida, when we ate pineapple almost every day; while driving to The Keys, while sitting in a park in St Augustine, while sun bathing at Cocoa Beach, after running at South Beach, while watching rockets in Cape Canaveral, after kayaking in The Everglades. Oh, I just love Florida. I've been to a lot of States, but Florida is definitely one of my favorites!

Our five months old Flemish Giant Haasje (meaning Little Hare, my daughter (5) named him that) went outside today for the first time in his life. The little animal went wild from happiness and ran around in circles all the time. Now he's back in his indoor cage and totally worn out. So much joy, he can nearly stand it!

    Your crochet pineapple is very good, but not near as tasty. The Hawaii ones are the best to me.

      You're totally right about that, the Hawaiian's are the best! But I didn't eat them much in Hawaii for some reason. I always went to Jamba Juice there, to get a large fresh orange juice.

    I love your crochet pineapple, and so recognisable how things can bring back memories.

    Haasje is zooooo schattig! Hopelijk wordt het snel weer beter weer zodat hij weer naar buiten kan.

      Haha, nooit gedacht dat ik het zou zeggen over een konijn (mijn dochtertje heeft hem voor haar verjaardag gekregen), maar ik vind Haasje ook helemaal geweldig! Dacht altijd dat een konijn in een hok zat en dat was het verder, maar ze zijn heel interactief en je hebt er echt een leuk huisdier aan.

    Your pineapple looks good enough to eat! They are quite refreshing to enjoy during warm or beachy activities. I live in Florida, and don't eat as much Pineapple as I think you do on vacation but it is nice and refreshing every once and a while to go to the beach and get a beverage with pineapple or to stop and get a fresh one at the market.
    Can't believe you went kayaking in the Everyglades! You brave soul. I would not be caught there - no way. I am too afraid of the alligators.
    And your hare is just the cutest little thing! My cat, Shiloh, is mostly an indoor cat whom I let out in the mornings/early afternoons to enjoy a little sun, grass under his paws and to hunt for lizards. He just LOVES going out there. That's what he looks forward to all night, and is what he thinks about the minute he comes back inside. Animals are so cute, and funny.

      I'm from the Netherlands and just love your country and its beautiful nature! Especially The Everglades, because nowhere in the world I saw nature like that. I even love the alligators, haha! I'm more afraid of the water snakes.
      We have two cats, too, but they can go in and out whenever they feel like. Now that the weather is warmer, I only see them when they want to eat, but they're gone most of the time. But that's what I like about cats: their indepence.

      Thanks for your nice comment!

Plague Doctor (free pattern)

Image
  In the last months I saw him on social media regularly: the Plague Doctor, often accompanied by the words 'Wash Your Hands'. I doubt that plague doctors ever said that, because in their time running water wasn't available for everyone. Besides: people didn't know about bacteria and viruses back in the days, so washing your hands wasn't common use.  People knew you could get sick by having contact with another sick person, though. The plague doctor wore a leather gown, a mask with glass sight holes and a beak that was stuffed with flowers and herbs to hide the stench of reeking wounds, all to protect him from contamination by sick people.The long stick was for poking people to see if they had the plague and if they were still alive. In a way his gear looks like what we are still wearing nowadays when we have contact with people that are infected by dangerous contagious diseases. In my hospital we wear protecting gowns, special masks and goggles and glo

Christmas Scrunchies (free pattern)

 Of all the things I made this year, Crocheted Scrunchie s were the biggest hit. My daughter wears them all the time, in her hair and/or on her arm, so I thought Christmas Scrunchies would be nice, too.  I'm happy to say my duaghter thinks this Christmas variety 'is just as great as the regular, no mom, even better'!  My daughter is thirteen now, so I'm wondering if it will last very much longer, that enthusiasm over mom made things, but I hope it does, because I really enjoy making things for my daughters.   How I made them: Round 1: 40 dc around a regular hair elastic, close with a slip stitch in the first sc (40) Change color Round 2: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 2 dc in the same stitch, 3 dc in every sc of the previous round, close with a slip stitch in the chain stitch (120) Change color Round 3: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 1 dc in the same stitch, 2 dc in every dc of the previous round,close with a slip stitch in the chain stitch (240) Change c

Crocheted Scrunchies

Image
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. Luckily she liked mine much better, so I got away well. Not sure if they will be in use as hair bands or bracelets, though. Teenagers think in mysterious ways, aren't they? How I made them: Round 1: 40 sc around a regular hair elastic, close with a slip stitch in the first sc (40) Round 2: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 2 dc in the same stitch, 3 dc in every sc of the previous round, close with a slip stitch in the chain stitch (120) Round 3: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 1 dc in the same stitch, 2 dc in every dc of the previous round,close with a slip stitch in the chain stitch (240) Round 4: chain 2 (counts as the first dc), 1 dc in every dc of
