Trailer hitch ball covers
Today I made one more cover :) This time shaped as a baby penguin. This is really testing my crocheting skills... Today I finally figured out how to make a flat cirkle and a bowl shaped cirkle :)
Today have been such a lazy day. And very needed for both Nanna and I. Nanna have had a very buzy schedule lately, with school, work and a social life. And I have been very much active... and been up very very early! For a year, I have been able to sleep late every day, if needed... and now I am up to ensure that Nanna is up and ready for school... just untill she is back in routine. So the alarm clock is starting it's very annoying noise at SIX in the morning... it's still NIGHT!!! ;)
Maybe it's my new daily life that makes my body ache so much. My hands and feet are acting like crazy... keeping me up at night. So crocheting a hitch ball cozy takes me forever.
But none the less, today have been very cozy. Bon Iver on the stereo, while Nanna was writing an essay about him and his new album. The rain that poured down, sending out cozy noises and a fresh smell of grass ... In my cup a nice cup of tea and in my hands a new crocheting project. I really can't wish for a better relaxing sunday :)

Easy to spot
A few days ago, I spotted some great trailer hitch ball covers, while visiting Miss AD.... I was sold and wanted to make my own :) But after trying her pattern a few times, I had nooo idea on how to implement a tail. So I had to start over, my own way!
So finally I started improvising. That is something I'm not that good at... I prefer a pattern to work from in crochet. BUT I won the task and now I have created my own fish. I have improvised a lot... maybe I have used som stitches that doesn't even exist, but it works ;)
So now I can easily spot my car at a parking lot. When sharing car with my parents, I were looking for a pinguin on their car... so now I have my own. Now we'll see for how long it can be left alone on my car....
It looks kind of funny ;) But I have ideas for several... like a pengin, an emo kid, a hello kitty, a rabbit, a tree with a snail on it and so on..... They are so easy to customize!! :)
