I haven’t spoken about it here, but we’re currently house-hunting. This means I have to pinch pennies and save save save.

It’s been a bit since I posted something in the crochet or knit category. You must be tired of my kids and/or my week-long obsession with pom-poms. Here’s something new.Is it too early for Valentine’s Day crafting? I’m not much of a romantic, but I do like hearts and flowers and OMG!pink! I suppose I [...] gift #12 was completed yesterday. It’s a simple DC scarf. 16DC, including the turning chain, for approx. 100 rows with a SC border, using a 6.5mm (K) hook. Lion Brand Homespun yarn in “bourbon.” Gift #13 is waiting for my DPNs. Gift #14 may get the axe. I added two gifts to my list and completed them! They’re for my son’s teachers. Neckwarmer, crocheted from chunky yarn. They were super easy. On Sunday, I added two gifts to my pile. They were easy peasy, as most comments on my pattern can attest to. Since then, I’ve added two more. As of today, I have 7 gifts complete. I started #8 this morning. I lowered my list by 1, but I think I’m going to re-knit #3, so [...] I love it when I get packages in the mail. Yesterday, I got THREE. 2 from paperbackswap.com and one that had something AWESOME-R THAN BOOKS in it. What could that be, you ask!?! YARN. deliciously soft and beautifully GREEN yarn.

I actually didn’t use the pattern for the first half of the [...] I finished attaching this guy’s little limbs, in the car on the way to the park, yesterday.
Pattern: Bedfellows by Camilla Engman, in The Happy hooker I realized I hadn’t crocheted any amigurumi in a while, so I decided to go back to one of the very first patterns I used–’Bedfellows’ from The Happy Hooker. I finished up the head, today. If I get bored, at least it looks cute by itself! This is the current stitch-monster I’m working on. It’s a [...] Something amazing happened this morning: I put the finishing touches on my mustard scarf! Of course we aren’t having the ideal weather for scarves, so it’s been folded up and put away. I’m praying for an early Texas winter. I’m highly doubtful those prayers will be answered. I practically melted, standing next to the window [...] |
