yellow elephant

This is not knitted or crocheted, but I am sooooo proud that I own this! Alexis found it while we were at Goodwill. I almost peed on myself when I saw it. This is almost the coolest thing that I own!

ruffle scarf

I got this pattern off of the Lion Brand website. I made this scarf for my friend Lynn. I used Lion Brand Homespun (Tudor 6oz) and a K hook. I believe the pattern calls for Lion Brand Fiesta (don't quote me) but I really loved the coloring of this yarn. The pictures really don't do the colors justice.

shelly

I love this pattern. I found it on CrochetMe.com. It's super easy and works up in about an hour. I made this scarf for my sister for xmas obviously, but she didn't want to pose for it. I used Lion Brand Wool Ease worsted weight (Blue Heather 3oz). I used the whole skein and I think it came out perfectly. I wish she were in the picture because it looks so pretty next to her dark hair!

dad's slippers

I knitted these for my Dad for Christmas with Patons Shetland Tweeds Chunky (Charcoal 3oz) with size 11 bamboo dpn's and size 8 dpn's for the leg. I don't know what the black yarn is because I bought it without the label.
They are extremely soft and comfy.
You can find this pattern in the Interweave Knits Gifts issue. You actually have to buy this magazine because you will want to make everything in it, whether it is for someone else or not!!!

sleeping mask

My sister's birthday is so close to Christmas and with all the xmas projects I had going on, I had very little time to create something extravagent. I whipped this up in a couple of hours using Caron Simply Soft that I had on hand. The mask is double layered and single crocheted together with cute embellishments. My sister loved the gift and I loved the ease of the project. You can find this project in the Winter issue of Crochet Today.

cable scarf

This is my all-time favorite scarf. It was quick to make on 10.5 bamboo dpn's. The color is a beautiful reddish pink heather wool acrylic blend. I used Pingouin Le Yarn 3 (color 7601 3.5oz). The cables were super easy and I can't wait to wear it. You can find the pattern on Ravelry.

turkish slippers

I made these for my mom for Christmas. It was a pattern from Simple Crochet. I used 2 strands held together of Red Heart Baby Teri (white 3 oz skein) and monogramed the slippers with 2 strands held together of Watermelon Caron Simply Soft. I must admit that I am not a master embroiderer, but it was a great gift. I plan to make some for myself but have to find the perfect color!

funky scarf

This took about 30 minutes to make. I originally bought this yarn for Alexis to make the scarf herself but didn't realize that the eyelash yarn would be too tough for her to use. I used an L hook and the whole ball.
Yarn Bee Haute Fur roseberry 3.5oz

potholder rewrite

My Nana made this with a crochet thread.


I made a duplicate with Caron Simply Soft.



I like how mine is a little bigger but hers looks much more delicate. The pattern was really easy to write and only took about 20 minutes to complete.
