Crochet Bag

 

This bag was so fun to make! I think mine came out larger than expected, but besides that, what a fun pattern.

Crochet Cowgirl Diaper Cover with Boots

 

I inherited this pattern from my mothers stash of patterns. I was thinking oh how unique it will be to show this off. then I look online and find out it is not an unknown pattern at all. Lol! Oh well here is my version of this pattern.

Crochet Fireside Formality Afghan

 

Where is my afghan, he asks. So I decided to go my own way and made my husband his first afghan. Yes it works as an afghan, but it is not square, the different brands in yarn fibers made it stretchy in some areas more than others. If you don't practice you cannot get better though. This pattern is written by Spool Cotton Co. Afghans Book239 the original Copyright was 1948.

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

My first Crochet Slippers

 

Here they are my first pair of slippers for the Mystery Crochet A long! I am so pleased they turned out the same size! I feel like I am actually accomplishing something good when that happens. I sized them for my daughter but they were a little big for her as you can see in the photo, but when my dear hubby heard I was crocheting slippers he said he wanted some so we ended up having him try them on and what do you know it was meant to be, Mr. Cinderella has found his slippers... ha ha!

Crochet Hand Mitts

 

Another first for this month! 

My first crochet Hand Mitts! The last of my projects in Crochet Summer Camp from Slugs On The Refrigerator's blog. I know I will be using these this winter I really cannot stand gloves and these will not only keep my hands warm but free my fingers for typing and texts! :D

Crochet Granny Square Slippers

 Another great Mystery Crochet A Long pattern.

Practice Makes ...

These crochet circles are suppose to turn into squares. The one on the left was my first attempt and somehow I lost stitch count and it wasn't working out, I also ran out of the black yarn so on my second attempt I did not have the black as you see. The circle on the right is just before it was suppose to turn into a square and at first it was more of a diamond shape I pulled it out tried again then it turned into a lopsided square.. I counted my stitches and somewhere I got off count again! UGH!!! So I tuned it into a potholder of sorts and I will practice this square again till it is square. It is one of the 12 in my Crochet A Long 2013 at Ravelry.com.

Crochet Squaring The Big Circle

 

This square came out beautifully if I do say so myself. This pattern was written by Kate Jenks from Signed With an Owl. The square was one of the wonderful twelve inch squares for the 2013 Block A Month Crochet A Long
