My strategy started out as doing these twiddlemuffs in batches: crochet the tubes first (which are two layers) and then embellish each batch. I finished my first three, but it was a few hours of sewing. The good news is that this project uses up many odd bits of things that I have collected over decades of crafting: yarn remnants, buttons, ribbons, trims, beads, etc.
In case you don't know what a twiddlemuff is, it is similar to a fidget quilt, but it also provides a warm tube for cold hands. We put twiddly things on the inside too.
Anyway, I think I will do them one at a time from now on. This felt like a huge unfinished mess until I got them done last night, and I have two other crochet projects on hooks right now. I need to fight my tendency toward project proliferation.
I went to my lqs to pick up my Bernina Aurora which had gone in for a little tuneup, and did some minor stash enhancement. A scrap quilter can always use some new neutrals, and with the leaves hinting at fall around here already, I couldn't resist buying the little embroidery project.
Now, off to stitch some fun.

Sometimes batching things together is efficient, and sometimes it's just overwhelming. Your twiddlemuffs are neat projects, though. I really like the idea of helping keep hands warm as well as occupied.
ReplyDeleteGreat little group of neutrals for the stash! Those would have called me in the shop, too :)
