Chthulu Rl'yeh

Been making things for Sci Fi conventions, and a few of the Sci Fi themed items have landed in my shop. Including a couple of 4" tall Cthulhu and a Dagon...

I'm having SO much fun with monsters and aliens... Including a valentine alien...

The Husband Hat

My husband wanted a simple, no frills hat that folded up. Here's the very simple pattern that I came up with.

Sorry about the girl head...don't have a man one yet, so she'll have to suffice. The hat looks big on the head, but fits hubby's noggin perfectly.





The pattern is on my blog:

Quick and Quirky Q Hook Ponchos

I would like to thank Marlo @ "That Girl Crochet" for posting a wonderful, fast, and fun pattern.... the Quick and Quirky Q Hook Poncho. I made one for myself yesterday and one for my daughter this morning. My daughter is modeling both ponchos....... the purple one is hers, and the orange one is mine.

I guess I broke my New Year's Resolution that I wasn't starting any new projects until I finished my 63 square afghan and my Aztec Sun Afghan. Oops :-)

Crochet Olympics

Ok I know that there are several forums out there like Crochetville ect. that do Crochet Olympics but I have decided to make my own as well. To read the rules check out:

For my daughter Nesa

Ok did my oldest daughter Nesa a pretty shell stitch poncho she so loves it got the pattern from HERE I've saw so many people doing these shell ponchos for there little ones that I decided to give it a try. Plus Nesa haven't had a poncho in awhile and lots of kids at school have been wearing ponchos that was brought and now crochet so wanted to make something you know more unique for Nesa. Plus she been asking me to make her one. So I whipped this up in like 1 hour wrist still hurts from doing those dang triples.

It is done with Red Heart called Cherry Dip
With a K hook
