I am still crocheting my doily from crochet a long, had a few errors and I cannot stand it I just have to pull them out when I notice them..I have a bad case of perfectionism.

Moving right along



I started my doily for the CAL over at Crochet Galore I love doilies and I use them all over my house...I think they are probably my favorite thing to crochet.. Anyway had some time this morning and did some hooking! Here is my progress so far..I love the color took me a while to find it. I purchased online it matches my new bedroom to a T! So excited. I love to make QC! and QC clusters!

Saturday Night




This is what I did on my Saturday night! These kitchen cuties worked up quickly..But I had to sew the edges on machine this morning. I got the pattern off of Ravelry but had to customize it to make it fit my towels!

Curly Scarf



I just adore this pattern! I know I say that about many patterns but this one is just so much fun to see the colors come together.. The way the scarf curls and the many options for wearing it. Patons SWS was on sale at Joann's for 2.97 its regular price is up in the 6 dollar range. Its so soft and great colors. bought a bunch...Working on so many projects more to come soon! Happy Saturday.

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.

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..
