Pencil Pillow Redo

October 04, 2022 14 Comments
Welcome to the October Sustainable Pinterest Challenge! This month's theme is Zero Waste, and I thought this would be a great time to remake a pencil pillow that I made back in 2017. Since the theme is Zero Waste, I unraveled the yarn I used to make the original pillow and reused it and the bolster pillow form that was inside the pillow to create a new pillow. I usually would just throw the yarn away and totally start over, but it is best to reuse things when you can. I originally crocheted the pillow, and over the years it had some wear and a coffee stain (I washed it to remove the stain).  I saw a pin for a super cute knit Pencil Pillow on Pinterest, but since my knitting skills are very very basic, I decided to use my circular knitting machine.

Crochet Pencil Tote Bag

June 07, 2021 8 Comments
While the school year has ended for some, we still have a week and a half left in this school year here in WA. So I had teacher gifts on my mind. I've had this Pencil Tote Bag Pattern by Heart Sprinkle in my pattern stash for a while, and I think this pencil themed tote would be an awesome gift for a teacher. I'm so glad I finally got around to making it. It only took me a couple days to make it, and I really enjoyed making the hearts.

Seahawks Pencil Scarf

May 08, 2021 10 Comments
This week was Teacher Appreciation Week, and I decided to make a crochet Pencil Scarf in Seahawks colors (blue and green) for my son's kindergarten teacher, who was also my daughter's kindergarten teacher. It's funny because as a military family, we keep moving from WA to GA about every 3 years, and we were able to move back in time for my son to have the same awesome kindergarten teacher my daughter had. Anyhoo, she is a Seahawks fan, so I thought it would be fun to make her a Seahawks themed scarf. I've been wanting to make a pencil scarf in Seahawks colors for a while, and I thought this would be the perfect reason to make one.

Crochet Pencil Scarf

What a crazy school year that was! The school year officially ended for my kiddos a couple weeks ago, and I'm wondering how the next school year will start. Anyhoo, I'm still crocheting pencil scarves. I've shared pencil scarves on the blog before, but I've changed the ferrule of the pencil scarf a little, so I thought I'd shared an updated version of this fun scarf. (This is for crochet inspiration. I do NOT have a free or paid pattern available for this scarf.)

Ticonderoga Inspired Pencil Scarf

July 13, 2019 4 Comments
Where we live school starts back next month... like the 1st week of August. So I'm in back-to-school mode. My daughter is a 3rd grader, and my son has another year of Pre-K since he doesn't turn 5 until November. So since I've got school on my mind, I've been crocheting pencil scarves again. This time I did something different... I decided to make a green ferrule like Ticonderoga pencils!

Crochet Pencil Bookmark

Welcome to the February Pinterest Challenge Blog Hop, hosted by My Pinterventures. The purpose of this Pinterest Challenge is to motivate all the participants of this hop (and you too) to not just pin, but to make it happen! This month, I chose to create a Crochet Pencil Bookmark. My daughter loves reading, and she had been using a folded piece of paper as a bookmark, so I asked her if she's like me to crochet a bookmark for her. She said yes!. The I asked what color she wanted her bookmark to be, and she requested purple. So I browsed Pinterest for inspiration and found some colorful colored pencil bookmarks...

Crochet #2 Pencil Scarf

August 09, 2018 19 Comments
So it's the beginning of August and some kiddos are heading back to school already! When we lived in WA, school started after Labor Day. But here in GA, school started yesterday (August 3rd)! My daughter is a 2nd grader, and my son is in Pre-K. They both had a great first day of school, but the pick up line was ridiculous! It took an hour to get my kiddos! Anyhoo... So I've crocheted a couple pencil scarves since it is back to school time.
