Blind Lobsters

I thought blinds would be a great window treatment for my entire house, until I realized they need to be cleaned. "Blind Lobsters" are easy to make, washable and slip over a pair of kitchen tongs. I spray mine with a little dust cleaner and they did the job. They also work great on ceiling fan blades and cleaning silverware. When done, slip them off and throw in the washer and dryer. Materials Cotton yarn in color of choice H Crochet Hook Yarn needle for weaving in ends Kitchen Tongs

Coconut Baby Afghan

This Coconut Candy Baby Afghan is such a cute design and reminds me of a sand dollar. Free baby afghan patterns like this are nice because extra yarn is used allowing baby to be nice and warm. Bernat Pipsqueak Yarn is used for extra softness.
