Finally some progress

This weekend I finished the hat I started a few weeks ago. I just haven't been spending any time crocheting or knitting because I'm so exhausted from life. Of course I changed the pattern I was following. I did not stripe the hat because the yarn I was using was interesting enough without stripes. I also did more rounds because I wanted it to cover my ears. It ended up being too loose with 55 chains around so I had to reduce down to forty something in the last rows with an hdc instead of the dc that the rest was made in. While making this hat, I was also trying to teach my friend Rosalynd how to crochet the same hat. She was intoxicated for part of her construction as well as being left handed. So it was tricky to teach her. She must have switched her gauge or something between rounds. She decided it wasn't worth continuing, I agreed. So Milo is wearing her crazy little doll hat.

Lace Skirt

Finally another crochet project! This is the free lace skirt pattern from Interweave Crochet Fall 2007 crocheted in Shine Sport. You can see more pictures and notes at my blog post, Interweave Crochet: Lace Skirt.

My Daughter's Boat Neck Shirt :)

Well finally finished up my little daughter Nellie's boat-neck shirt. She so loves it. She said, mom I want another one like this. She ran to my boxes of yarn picking out the colors she wanted for her next boat-neck shirt. LOL dont know about making another one I told her I need to get to make you some sweaters.
Sorry now pattern my own trial and error


A work in progress this morning one sleeve done.


Here she goes, a close up. Her and her peppermint boat-neck shirt with long bell sleeves. I want to close up towards the neck a little bit more ran out of yarn so will have to add on later.

Wool Scarf

Hi chickies!

The last few weeks have been crazy warm and its been difficult to get into making winter items. Finally, on Wednesday the temperature dropped a little and I can finally get into cold weather spirit.

Here is a scarf I made with Patons Classic Merino Wool yarn. Love this stuff! I didn't use a pattern...just chained 163 and double crocheted for 10 rows, changing colors on the 3rd and 5th row.

Been travelin'

Hi Chicks,

I have 2 projects on the go right now. Working on a felted purse, can't wait to get to the felting part cause I haven't tried that before. Also working on a doily, one of Annie's Attic freebies, for my mother-in-law for a Christmas gift. Hopefully can work on the purse this weekend and then get busy with the doily.

Glad to see you are all working away.

Later,
