Knitting. Who woulda thunk it??
I remember at the age of 9 (in 1989 – I am that old) I condemed knitting to hell. I swore I would never ever knit and that my grandma was insane thinking of trying to get me to knit. She wasn’t all that thrilled I was a crocheting person, but lived with it. At least I was doing something a girl should do. She was born in 1920 hence the ideas of hers. I decided last year to honor my grandma in a way I swore never to do. She would be really proud had she been alive to see it. Now I can tell you what I have done to honor her, but I think I will just show you…
Christmas Bulb Fridgie
This pattern HAS NOT been tested.
You may add this pattern to your favorites or que it by going to http://www.ravelry.com/designers/jessica-gil
WHAT YOU NEED:
small amounts of size 3 thread – 2 colors
B or C crochet hook
magnets (preferably the kind you are able to cut as you will need small pieces)
tacky glue (if magnets aren’t self stick)
Note: If you use smaller thread or bigger thread/yarn please use the hook the packaging recommends. Either case the size will be different.
DIRECTIONS:
BULB
round 1: ch4, 15dc in 4th ch from hook. join w/ a slip stitch to top of ch4 (16dc)
round 2: ch3, dc in same as joining. 2dc in each stitch around. join w/ a slip stitch to top of ch3. (32dc)
round 3: ch3, dc in same as joining, 1dc in next. *2dc in next stitch, 1dc in next stitch* around. Join w/ a slip stitch to top of ch3. (48dc) FINISH OFF, weave in ends.
TOP OF BULB
(note: ch1 does not count as a stitch in this section)
row 1: join in any dc with a sc, sc in next 4 stitches. ch1 & turn
row 2: sc in next 5 stitches. ch1 & turn
row 3 – 5: repeat row 2. FINISH OFF & weave in ends.
ADDING THE MAGNETS
Turn over to wrong side (it was the side facing away from you when making the bulb). Place magnet in these areas: top of bulb, around the outer edges of bulb & in the middle of the bulb. If using tacky glue place the bulb on a sheet or parchment paper or plastic in case the glue seeps through. However you do not want the glue to seep through to the right side so use it sparingly. It is better to have to add more later then use too much & ruin your project.
ALTERNATIVE USE
Instead of using the bulb as a fridgie you can use it as a decoration. All you need to do is add a hanger to it. The hanger is all up to you on how to do it.

Entertaining Spam
Unlike the spam you get in the can this is entertaining. Especially when you only get 4 or less hours of sleep a night for a few weeks. I think anything is entertaining then.
Thanks for the useful info. It’s so interesting
Well thank you. I kow tell you all not to get your purse stolen is so interesting & useful knowledge.
Hi, Congratulations to the site owner for this marvelous work you’ve done. It has lots of useful and interesting data.
Well yes there is just so much data I pull it straight out of my ass weekly. Otherwise I’ll get backed up & my head will explode.
Hi, discriminative posts there
through’s for the gripping advice
I guess it was wrong to be excited about something. My bad. Slap me & call me your bitch!
hey guys I’ve been lurking around the forum for a while but I have a question to ask. I’m trying to find a legit seller for r4 cards for my nintendo. I’m from germany and I found one site that looks promising
So nintendo has cards now does it? And just how would a scrubbie you wasH dishes with help you find someone to buy one of these cards? Is there a new way to make money I don’t know about??
Hi, good post. I have been thinking about this topic,so thanks for sharing. I will definitely be coming back to your site.
I am glad my pattern gave you the information on how to wash your dishes. May the maggots hate me & your mommy love me.
Not that I’m totally impressed, but this is a lot more than I expected when I found a link on Furl telling that the info here is awesome. Thanks.
Yep pictures will do that to a person. Especially when they are school pictures. Did it give you the urge to go get yourself an edumakation?
And the winner for most classic spam in a can smell goes to…
Maaaan, you know there is such thing in the web like search engine, http://google.com if you don’t, go there to understand why this post is bullshit
Maaaan, you know I was waiting for a spam like this! You rock & I think I love you!
Crochet business will be back shortly when sleep deprivation is no longer controlling my thoughts.
