Daisy square

I finally made the Krystal daisy square. If you want the pattern, the link is over on the right side on this page under LINKS.

Moose!

Dreamcatcher

A dreamcatcher square I made from here http://www.heartmadeblessings.org/Patterns/dreamcatcher.php I used a K hook.

Purple gingham pillow

French toast and homemade sauce

This is a non-crochet related post, but hey, we yarnaholics have to eat too right?

While making french toast for breakfast this morning, I created this sauce to go on it. The average person probably uses butter and maple syrup on their french toast, so I made it into a sauce with a few other ingredients. You'll need:

1 large banana

about 2 TB butter

1/4 maple syrup

vanilla

cinnamon

nutmeg

Put all this into a small saucepan. I sliced the banana into thin slices then kinda mashed them smaller with a whisk. Heat this mix on low while your making the french toast, stirring now and then. That's it!

This was enough for 2 adults, so make more for the kids! It is GOOD! :)

Recycled!

I had this air bag thing from a package, and wanted to do something with it so I turned it into a little pillow.

Little guy likes it too......

Chair pad

Chair pad I made using Red Heart leftovers from my stash. 3 strands together of white, navy blue and light blue. There is a pad inside it called NU-foam I bought from Joanns.

Convertible hat

This is a convertible hat from www.aprildraven.blogspot.com . It is adult sized, so it's a little big on my model, but you can see the 3 ways you can wear it. Very nice pattern.

Hooded Scarf

This pattern is from Lion Brand's website. I followed the pattern exact, but made mine a little longer. Instead of ch 193, I did ch 225. And I used Red Heart Earth & Sky total of 15oz's. Here is the link... http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/cwes-scarves.html

Same test pattern of mine I used in the post below this, only I made it a potholder to be useful. :) I used Bernat cotton Tavern Green and Lily & Cream red. Now I have a Christmas potholder for the kitchen :) This first pic is the backside....wrong pic order ;) but it looks pretty cool too.

I like the 3D look of the pattern thought you can't see it well in this picture.

Newest creation

Just a sample of something new I created. Pics didn't come out well, I tried to show the 3D look on the square. It kind of looks like a picture frame granny square.

Wool Eater

While browsing through Granny Along Blogs last night, I saw this cool wool eater pattern. I just had to try it. These are the 2 current colors on my computer/crochet desk...LOLOL so I used em for testing it. It came out nice but takes forever to do one row....and if you've ever done this pattern, you know that 2 rows really equal one row. Yes, you go around twice for one colored row. But it looks really neato! I am going to try some other things with this pattern tomorrow :)

Hoodie/sweater

This sweater is from the pattern in the October issue of Crochet World magazine. The boy in the picture in the magazine must be wearing the size 10. They have sizes for 4, 6, 8 & 10 for this pattern. My little guy is 2 1/2 so I did size 4. I think this pattern is just not quite right for the smaller size. First, the hood is WAY to big for a size 4. Next, the pocket on the front is the same size for all 4 sizes, and it takes up the entire front of the size 4. The arms seem too long and the body too short. And the ribbing around the bottom should be a bit tighter than the sweater, but it actually fans out making it look girlish. The amount of yarn you need for the main color and size 4 they say is 25oz. I used less than 16 oz.

I used Caron deep violet & Bernat dark sage for the trim.

Front pocket

Gigantic granny!

I made this 7 foot granny square back in winter/spring of this year using up all my old purples & green Caron and Red Heart yarns.

Shells afghan

This I started in 2004, did all the panels, but it never got put together till this summer.

Starghan

This is a blast from the past that is growing finally! I started it years ago and put it aside for a baby....

Meet Hermie!!!

I made this for my 2 year old son who loves snakes. It's done in Red Heart's camo color. He named him Hermie:) I used his summer clothes he'll never fit in again to stuff Hermie with!!!

Red Heart Snuggle Throw

This pattern is the Red Heart Snuggle Throw from here http://www.redheart.com/FreePatterns/tabid/118/Default.aspx?tabid=118&patternid=WR1838.pdf I did the large size and I used Sensations yarn. I wanted to use up 3 shades of that purple I had taking up room in my drawer. It used about 64oz's of Sensations fuzzy yarn with the L hook. My daughter is too small for this snuggle, or it's too large maybe.....

Pillow

Here is a pillow I made recently with Red Heart and Sensations colors.

My newest creation!

I haven't figured out what to call this bag yet... it's not a handbag, not a tote bag, so what the heck is it???? Very springy colors do look nice though! They are Read Heart colors spring green, yellow and a variegated green, yellow and aqua bluish. Here you can see the draw string, all crocheted.
This is the bottom. It is round despite how it looks here....:)
The inside bottom is yellow.
I cut a round piece of that plastic yarn craft stuff and put it in the bottom between the two crocheted bottoms to make the bottom more sturdy.
