Stitchy Scrubbie Complete With Saturday Sky

Well, it’s definitely February, so I can’t complain too much that it’s snowing.  We’re expecting another 6-8 inches today. It’s starting to lighten up a bit.  We took the dogs to the groomer this morning, but other than picking them up I have nothing planned today.  I was going to get a haircut, but the [...]

The Newsboy Hat

Another finished object and another crochet project.
Pattern:  Crochet Newsboy Hat by Eileen Tepper.
Available: from Ravelry and on Etsy.
Yarn: Berroco Ultra Alpaca – 2 skeins – matches my scarf.

Super easy and fun project.  I did re-crochet the brim a couple of times to get my tension right, but other than that no mods and just plain [...]

Queen Anne’s Scarf

Another finished object this year already.  Yeah!
Well my friend Cindy and I braved the snow to make our way to Mosaic Yarns for the Queen Anne’s Scarf crochet class.
This was my first time on the train to Chicago and we had a blast.  We we arrived we planned on eating at a nice Italian eatery, [...]

What I Did With My Weekend…

I’m just going to give you a preview… but it includes a train ride, a crochet class in the Chicago burbs, a started scarf, my DH getting lost to pick us up from the train, dinner in a strange little diner, and finally exhaustion.  It ends with the scarf on my blocking board, but I’ll [...]

A Treat

So I dragged myself home today from work.  I got in a little later, so I stayed a little later to get my time in.  Basically I would’ve been on time if I could’ve gotten myself out of bed.  Working a whole day on Thursday really whipped my behind.  I’m not used to that anymore [...]

Toad

I was going to make another dishcloth, but had to give this little guy a go.  I think for a first attempt from a novice crocheter this turned out super cute.

I may have to try another.  I think his body came out a bit long.  The stupid marker fell off midway and who knows where [...]

Dishcloth Two

I had an itching to do another of these dishcloths.  It went a lot faster this time and turned out just perfect.

I can see the why these dishcloths are so addictive.  I have to admit I never gave dishcloth knitting or crochet in this case a lot of thought, but I can see why folks [...]

The Emma Cowl

Flirty, romantic, and just plain pretty -
My next crochet project – which was inspired by one I saw on Etsy.com, but pattern my own…
The Emma Cowl, with matching mittens.

The Emma Cowl is made out of Homespun. Yes you heard me right – Homespun in Covered Bridge Red.
The recipe for the Emma cowl is this [...]

Bunny Slippers

These are the bunny slippers from the Happy Hooker.
The main reason I bought this book was for the bunny slippers.

They are so cute I had to make a pair.

I asked for a class at the LYS because I never crocheted before and they obliged. My friend Beverly taught and had to re-write the pattern [...]

There’s a Hooker in the House

Let’s see how many hits I get just off that title. (lol)
So we survived family visit 2007, for the most part. On Saturday when they headed home early thanks to the weather, I headed to the yarn shop to go to a crochet bunny slipper class. These are the bunny slippers from [...]
