Tonights crochet mission! Finished - with Photos!I haven't done much crochet - but tonight I've decided I want to crochet a chapstick cozy I'm doing Secret Pal 11 and hoping to send my last parcel out tomorrow. It's got a wintery theme so I bought my pal a chapstick (and other stuff hehe) but it's a bit sad - so - of course, someone has already made a chapstick cozy pattern so I'm going to try that out. Wish me luck!!!!!

My crochet mission is to finish my bag without magically increasing the number of stitches per round?!!!! - Hope it goes well, a chapstick cozy sounds very small, just as well you have such nimble fingers!

That sounds like a good pressie for a chapstick/ vaseline obsessed teenager.
My mission tonight is to finish the main bit of my wildflower shawl while watching have I got news for you and QI

Ooooh, good luck Sprite, if you don't find a pattern then you should be able to just make it up, crochet a circle to the size you want, then just do one stitch per stitch til it's the length you want... i'm assuming it's a long thing chapstick and not a pot, mind you the formula would be the same, it'd just be the size of the base circle that's different
Good luck and don't forget the piccies

Phew - I did it! I think it turned out ok as I'm definately not a crochet expert. I've only done one scarf and a few squares. I kind of followed instructions I found on the web. I added a button and sewed on one of the large rings I use for stitchmarkers so it can be attached to a keyring split ring thingy - if one so desired!!! Quite pleased with it really - might make myself one hehe!
