Crochet White Sparkle Mini stocking

 

I made over 2 dozen mini stockings this year for my colleagues. Some in red with white collar, but this one is all white with sparkle in the yarn. The yarn is called Red Heart Super Saver Metallic the one shown above is in White. I added a rim of fur to top it off.

Love Is Cold Ear Warmer

 

Hello my fiber friends and followers! I missed you too! :) I have been so busy finishing up cabinet orders before we close out business. I have been working, packing, cleaning, and helping get the old shop ready for the new owner. I have been so exhausted every night I hardly have time to do anything but think about what I need to get done at the shop. I have one last cleaning, and trash dumpster to load and I am finished! Unless we pay someone to finish up, I have already done all the hard work, just need to order another dumpster drop off and make one last load. Yippee! So to celebrate and relax my aching body I decided to concentrate on any projects that involved sitting for extended periods. LOL! 

I decided to go with this fun valentines themed project called Love is Cold Ear Warmer pattern by Moogly. I find myself on her site all the time by the luck of so many likes via Pinterest sharers. I will post a link below for any of my crocheting friends. I learned a new stitch called the FOUNDATION CROCHET STITCH. It wasn’t too complicated as long as I kept my finger on the first stitch as I worked I didn't lose sight of where I needed to insert the hook next.  You also work the front and back post double crochet stitches in this pattern. I just love the hearts, and it is perfect for the winter weather we will be having on valentines this year!

Flowers In A Row Afghan

 

I will have to look up when I started this afghan, it has been a few years I know! But I finally finished this today! Woo- HOO! I incorporated a design I learned on another afghan that is currently hibernating, so when you look up this pattern if you are a crocheter like myself, you will not see this in the original design, nor the edging. I went my own way on the ending. I do hope you like my finished afghan. I used a J hook, Red Heart Super Saver Solids in Pretty N Pink, Soft White, and Light Sage. My starting chain was 139 stitches for the adult lap throw.

Row 7 ch 1, ss in front loops across

Row 8 ch 1 sc in loops left behind on previous row this will form the ridge.

 Row 9 ch3 treble crochet in the 4th stitch, working behind the stitch go back and dc in the three missed stitches

 Row 10 ch 1 sc across 

Row 11 -14 repeat rows 7-10

 

 On to another project! :D

Crochet Brain Waves Men’s Hat

I am so pleased with how my first crochet hat for a male turned out! It was an easy pattern to follow and I am in love with the Red Heart Soft Yarn that I used. 

Crochet Planes, Trains, and Autos Afghan

Baby afghan

This afghan was crocheted using an I hook 5.5 mm, yarn I used was Red Heart Soft Solids. The main colorway for the afghan is Light Grey Heather, Mid Blue and white, I started the main body of the afghan on October 1 2015 and finished it on the 8th. This particular project you want to have a large table set up so that it is much easier to apply the applique without stretching the yarn. One skein of Red Heart soft made 16 1/2 rows and you need about 32 rows for each skein.

Crochet Counterpoint Afghan Granny Square

 

I joined a CAL, what is a CAL well that is short for a Crochet-A-Long. Didn't you ever do those sing a longs as a kid where the words came across the television or you read it from the story book as the cassette tapes played. I know showing my age a little there.  Well this project consisted of 12 squares for each month they were either a 12 inch square like this pattern or you would get 6 inch square patterns to put together to make your 12" squares. This square pattern was written by Joyce Lewis from Dunnica.

Crochet Happy Plane

 

I decided this would be a nice surprise to add in with the Planes, trains and autos afghan I am making for an order. 

This pattern was written by Rebecca Venton from Red Heart North America website.

Crochet Drop in the bucket Granny Square

 

This wonderful square is for the Block A month Crochet A Long. I loved it so much I made it in two colors. The second yarn came out better. I used Red Heart with Love yarn, an H - 5.0 hook. This pattern was written by Janie Herrin from Crochet Cabana

Crochet Purple Hat

 

This hat was crocheted using Red Heart Yarn.

Crochet Monkey Holiday Ornament

 This pattern design came from incorporating my Friendship Crochet Swap partners likes with a fun holiday ornament. This pattern was originally a sock monkey pattern that I turned into a Green Bay Packers fan, or that was my intention anyways. This pattern was written by Linda Cyr from Red Heart North America

Crochet Amigurumi Hippo

 

This little Hippo was made for my Friendship Crochet Swap partner. She likes Hippos, so I made a Hippopotamus for Christmas. The pattern was from Lion Brand Yarn, Leisure Arts Vanna's Choice Easy Crochet Critters

Crochet Cowboy Booties

I found this adorable pattern as a photocopied image stashed in my mothers crochet bins. I almost squealed when I found it. It is so cute! Unfortunately since I am new to crocheting one boot turned out bigger than the other. Didn’t I hear everyone has one foot larger than the other anyways? 

This pattern was found in Annies Attic #871020, Baby Bootie Boutique

 

Crochet Shamrock Pin

 

I had to make this pattern as soon as I seen it. My mother turned me onto the special Luck of the clover and shamrocks. She had several her mother had found placed in a special book. My mother could spot them so fast and when I was growing up I never could find one, but I tried you bet I tried hard! It wasn’t until my husband and I took up camping did I truly discover the joy of spotting those lucky 4 leaf clovers. Found 13 once, let me tell you it was definitely not lucky! Our house caught fire that summer while we were out traveling the country on our camping trip. That actually happens in June of this year. Since I am back posting this I already know that it happens at this point. But due to our love of the clover for generations I had to crochet quite a few of these to pass out to friends and family. I also kept finding clovers after our camp out and decided I would give them to any friends I met at the campgrounds for good luck. We ended up losing our camper due to financial hardships.. did I mention I have the worst of luck…lol! 

 

Crochet Center Heart Square

 

I love anything with hearts. Mostly unique items with heart shapes like the plastic piece that ties the loaf of bread together sometimes is shaped like a heart, or a time there was a clearing in the sky through the gray clouds that was in the shape of a heart, or when I found a rock in the forest that was shaped like a heart.

McDonald's Heart Shaped Chicken Nugget

Rock found in forest while camping

 The rock is actually the second rock I found shaped like a heart during this trip. The first one I put back down on a trail for someone else to possibly find. :) When it happened again I had to keep the second rock.
