Welcome to the fourth FaveCrafts Blog Hop! The “Finished on the 15th” blog hop is where you get to showcase your work: show us everything you made so far this month, from DIY home decor and holiday decorations to homemade clothing and general craft projects. We like it all! We’ll be hosting a “Finished on the 15th” blog hop right here on the 15th of every month, so be sure to return and link up each month. Check out last month’s hop too!
How to Participate:
- Write a blog post on your own blog showcasing any projects you’ve made this month. Though we’d love for you to post only projects that were made in the last 30 days, older content is welcome too. You can talk about the crafting process, write up a tutorial, or merely show off the finished project.
- Add your link to this post by clicking on “Click Here to Enter” at the bottom of the screen and following the instructions. Make sure you link to your specific blog post, not your homepage, and give it a caption.
- Add a thumbnail image of your craft project to accompany your link. You can use an image from your blog post or one that is saved on your computer.
- Copy the FaveCrafts Blog Hop button from above and paste it into your blog post, linked to the FaveCrafts Blog Hop post, so that everyone who reads your blog can see that you’ve been featured on FaveCrafts!

I knit mittens, 148 pairs last year. On Jan. 15th I finished my 18th pair toward this year’s supply. I give these mittens to the kindergartners and high fivers at the school I worked at before I retired in 2003. I have a LOT of scrap yarn left over from all those mittens, so this year I am using that yarn to crochet afghans for the homeless. I just take whatever leftover yarn comes out of the bag, separate it into piles of colors that go together and crochet away. Interesting to see what I end up with.
I use scraps of yarn to crochet lap robes for the veterans in hospitals and nursing homes. Our son is active duty Army and the dark brown and dark green scraps are used to crochet helmet liners.
