Shizuku!

Love this scarf! Love this yarn...amazing by Lion brand. Great colors. I am basically a beginner/intermediate knitter.. I learned the basics as a child and never took it farther than knit and purl.
U tube has helped me learn so much! This is Shizuku by Angela Tong. She is a wonderful designer and this was a fun knit. I made it more than half way and made a mistake and had to rip out! YIKES that was upsetting. That is what frustrates me about knitting.. Crochet is easy peasy to fix, knitting not so much and its very easy to create another error by trying to fix. I learned so much doing this scarf I love it and cannot wait to do another. Its fun and funky!

Snug as a bug!

Enjoying my Holiday! I hope you are also..I have been snug as a bug here in Florida with 35 degree weather! I sat in front of the tube all day crocheting, something I never do..My dog thought I would not notice him on my couch! Working on a bunting for my sewing room.. I got the pattern from Crochet with Raymond. I love her stuff.

How many days left?

I am completely ignoring how many days left I have to finish...These are just a few of the items I have left to do... I cannot show some of them..still top secret!

Crochet scarf Seed stitch by Cathy North and Knit scarf by Spud and Chloe and little hat for wine bottle my own little creation..No biggie plenty of patterns on Ravelry for the little hat...Back to work! Later Y'all

Another Christmas gift!

Another Christmas gift complete..I do this to myself every year! I plan too many gifts and not enought time! This is a single crochet scarf made out of Mosiac by Bernat..Love the colors but it is lumpy in areas and I do know its because its a natural fiber..

Love the scarf hate the yarn!

I am knitting and crocheting my fingers to the bone! I really enjoyed making this scarf! Fun and easy...However, the yarn not so much..Its Lion Brand Homespun.. Its very splitty and hard to work with. I love Lion Brand and this is the first yarn I dislike from them.. Colors are amazing though...Later Y'all!

Pink Rasta

I must be in the knitting mood lately..This is my Pink Rasta hat! I just love it! pattern is here It took 3 episodes of Law and Order. Don't you like how I time things around Law and Order? Anywho its soft and pink and I love it. I know my daughter in law will probably steal it. That's ok its a quick easy knit!

Coming back to life!

I am feeling much better after that awful stomach thing! Lost some weight..not the way I want to do it..Worked on this hat during my recovery. Its a Balaclava hat. Its for my Dad. He rides his Harley in the winter and has a house in PA so I figured he might like it. It is definitely a boring knit towards the end. Notes to self watch ladders towards the end. Otherwise I enjoyed it and used Vanna's yarn. Pattern is HERE
Dad does not read my blog so I am pretty safe putting his Christmas gift online! Later Y'all!

Sick

Im sick...be back soon...:0(

Santa Hat

This is a picture of a Santa Hat I just made for my grandaughter..She will look adorable..This was an easy peasy hat and I will do more. The fun fur was no too bad to work with..So tired this week.
Thought of making a matching one for my grandson but he hates hats..He has pull them off since he could reach his head..Chloe on the other hand is so easy going she will love this. Later Y'all!

Many requests for pattern links! Here you go! Hat pattern is from April Draven She sells it on Annie's attic, here She is very talented and has some great patterns she also has an Etsy shop. Stop by and check her out.

Scarf pattern is by Annette Petavy It is fun and simple! Your hook will fly! It was in an interweave crochet magazine.

And the Queen Anne's Lace is here! There are several out there but this one was the easiest to follow, I felt! Happy hooking!

Tuesday

Happy Tuesday! Not much to say..Just busy..Taking care of the hubs..he had his Rotator cuff repaired.. Happy to hook while he rests!
I love to make a scarf. They are quick and can be beautiful..I used Patons sws and Bernat Mosaic.. I love them both. So nice to crochet with and soft. Blocks very easily. White scarf was made with Bernat Baby! Its ready to ship. Later Y'all!

Christmas gift finished!

I finished this morning before bootcamp! Its soo soft! I hope she likes it!

Busy!!

Happy Sunday! Football, fireplace and food! That is how I will be spending my day! (and hookin! of course) I have been so busy, I love this time of year, although is comes earlier every year! Its cold here in the 50's, cold for us.
I love it..Our fireplace is crankin! Working on some projects for Christmas, cannot show most of them due to those people involved read my blog!
Also a picture of 800 squares. I plan on making a patchwork quilt for my bed.. I love my new white look, but I do have animals and grandchildren= not so white stuff...LOL, I love it!
The other is a project I have totally fallen in love with. Crochet snowflake motifs, for a table runner..Shhhh
I finished sometime in the weee hours of the morning.. Found a mistake and yes I am going to cut out that motif, of course its in the middle..I know no one would probably see it but I am a perfectionist and it would drive me crazy..

Towel Christmas Angel

Its gunna get cold here this weekend! I cannot wait..It has me in the mood for Christmas! I started today with a Christmas Towel angel..So much fun to make easy peasy and people love them! After Christmas you can take the angel apart and use the potholder, towel and dishcloth! As you can see it is held together by ribbon! You can make a long loop with the ribbon so it can be hung on a doornob in the kitchen during the holidays! All you do is acordian style fold a towel and tie off a head..acordian style fold dishcloth and potholder for wings..Tie ribbon around end of dishcloth for hands and she is a praying Christmas angel! Have fun!

Finished doily

I finished my 1918 pattern from Crochet Galore.. She was having a crochet along.. I really enjoyed it! I hope she does more!

Stuff

I have been sooo busy! The kids have been here and I have been enjoying their company. I have joined the crochet along over at Crochet Galore I am enjoying it soo much! It has gone so fast. I worked on it this weekend while babysitting for my Grandaughter Chloe! She sat with me on the front porch enjoying this wonderful weather! What a blessing to have my children near by. I have many projects going this time of year and to make myself even busier I have decided to do a room redo! My room has been burgundy, green and pink for ever! I will post pictures! Complete color redo! New theme!

Cheap Thrills

I'm still here! I have been sooo busy. I am trying to stay away from the computer and the TV...It's just no good..I have been working on some Christmas gifts and finishing some things for charity, but mostly enjoying my family.
My husband got a Kayak and we have been Kayaking after work.. Its great I read he paddles and fishes. The guy asked him when he bought the Kayak "Sir how many paddles would you like.. I said ONE! I don't paddle I just sit and enjoy!
I am putting up some pictures of my fall table.. I call it cheap thrills because Walmart has the dishes and the glasses for 3 dollars! Hello! Deal! They are from Better Homes and Gardens collections. The colors are amazing you must go see them. I had such a very hard time deciding between green dishes, the pumpkin colors or the plum. The last place setting on the left has my Longaberger square bowls, cannot decide if I will use them or not. I coordinate everything with my Longaberger Pottery. My Mom bought me my set after I got married. It is still like new and she adds to it occasionally for my birthday or Christmas. Longaberger is still the best!
The acorns that I have tossed randomly around the house were 2 dollars at Joann's for a set of six. Pumpkins were a dollar at I think Big Lots.
I love to change my table with the seasons. I keep it set at all times, so when my grandson comes over he always tries to find his seat and sit at the table he thinks its time to eat all the time! It is soooo funny!
Till next time! Hugs Neicee
