International Crochet Day

Today is International Crochet Day!


To celebrate today, since I finished the ripple baby blanket I was working on yesterday (sitting around not feeling 100% gives you lots of time to crochet!), today I'm going to try to figure out how to make a rattle to go along with the blanket. I should have bought Mamachee's birdy rattle pattern when it was available.


While I'm excited at the thought of figuring it out myself, I wonder what I should use for the rattle. A plastic Easter egg inside the bird's body with beads inside it? Hmm. I wonder where I can find a single small plastic Easter egg in September .... Some Google searches will tell me what to use, I'm sure.


Anyway, happy International Crochet Day! How are you going to celebrate it?
