I broke my left ankle in 2 places on May 1, 2025

May 8, 2025: My computer is now set up in a spare bedroom so now I am able to daily updates. Since I do need help getting to my office and order processing area, in the basement, I am not able to process orders for at least a week or two. After June 20, I may only be able to get to my basement work area, 2 days a week. I am not sure how long it will be where I will need a lot of help to do what I do. I do know my ankle needs surgery, which is on Friday May 9, 2025. After that, I am not sure what will happen.

Wood Ring Key Chain

Wood Ring Key Chain Designed By Julie A. Bolduc

This key chain is made from a 3" wooden ring that has had a screw eye and split ring added to it. Actually this would make a great bazaar item. It is fairly quick to make and very inexpensive as well.

Materials Needed
Small amount luster sheen. Rose was used in the example.
Size C/2 2.75mm aluminum crochet hook
1 wooden ring 3" x .5"
power drill
1/16" drill bit
1 Screw Eye .5"
1 small split key ring

Yarn Thickness 2mm
Gauge: 6sc = 1"
Finished Size: 3.5" diam
Skill Level: Beginner

Instructions
Drill hole into wooden ring anywhere on the outside of it. Screw the screw eye into it. Put ring onto screw eye. (You can order a ring with all of this already done if you like. Just email me for details.)

RND 1: Tie yarn onto ring just to the left of the screw eye. Sc in ring. *Ch3. 2sc in ring. Rep from * until wooden ring is completely filled. I did not count how many times. Just repeat it until you fill it up. Then join w/slst to first sc. Fasten off and weave ends into work.

You can use worsted weight acrylic or cotton yarn and an H/8 5mm aluminum hook for faster, more bulky results.
