April Showers Bring Cross Stitched Flowers...

...Well, something like that.
Last week was a busy one as I celebrated my 25th birthday on the 11th (yay me!), then slowed down as the weather turned wet (6 inches on Monday, yikes!) and stayed dreary/wet all week. What better than to pull out some cross stitch and binge watch Netflix for a week?

The Alice in Wonderland Stained Glass Window was found as a free pattern on Pinterest. The House Blessing is a kit from Jo-Ann. I was so eager to start working on it, that I forgot to measure before stitching and started a bit high on the fabric...

 

I also learned how to do Entrelac crochet over the weekend! Thanks Mikey from the Crochet Crowd. I am including a link to the YouTube video for anyone who wants to learn this interesting technique.

 

Fun with Mini Amigarumi

Greetings again!

Last week I went on a Pinterest kick of adorable mini amigarumi. I even tried my hand at one.

Isn't it adorable? I couldn't stop at one. Now my sewing box has some critters hiding in it.

 

A quick how-to for these guys. Not really a pattern since I used some other patterns to make these. You will need a small amount worsted weight yarn, two safety eyes, and an H hook.

For the body, head over to Ravelry for the Ideal Crochet Sphere pattern (it's free!).

I used the fourteen row sphere for my little ones, use whatever one catches your fancy. 

Before starting your sphere, make eight curly cues. For mine, I chained 10, then 3 HDC in second chain from hook and each chain to end, do not weave in ends!, then give it a quick twist to get the spiral. If working a larger sphere, add more chains and/or work in double crochet.

To assemble, work the sphere until the first decrease row. Add the eyes around the even row, then work until the second to last row. Tie the legs on, spacing them evenly around, and tucking the ends inside the sphere (yay, no weaving in ends!). Stuff with some fluff and finish the sphere, tucking the last yarn tail inside and your done!

Unforgettable Slouch Hat

Hello Again Everyone!

The Computer is back up and running, and that means that this post is the promised hat pattern. I've made this hat twice with some different bands, so I'll explain both ways and you can choose which is easier for you. This pattern is written very informally, feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions.

This hat was made with Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable in "Candied"

This hat was made with Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable in "Dragonfly"











For this project you will need any yarn with a hook to get a fair gauge. I used Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable with a US F/5-3.75mm. You may also want a stitch marker and yarn needle.

Terms used
Beginning cluster: ch. 2, yarn over and insert hook into same ch. 1 space, yarn over and pull through. yarn over and pull through 2 loops, leaving 2 loops on hook. yarn over and insert hook into same ch. 1 space. yarn over and pull through. yarn over and pull through 2 loops. yarn over and pull through all 3 loops on hook.

Three DC cluster. Work same as Beginning cluster, minus the ch. 2, and adding an extra stitch.

Band. Make this as wide as you would like. I made mine 8 HDC Wide. You can work each row  in the back loop only for a simple ribbing, or in the font bar of the HDC for the braided look (video on how to do this at the bottom of this post!). Or, you could skip the ribbing altogether and work a simple strip of your favorite basic stitch. Either way, make the band long enough to fit easily around your head with a slight negative ease (it should stretch to fit, but not too much). Slip stitch both ends together to create a ring.

Begin Hat: Ch. 1 and SC evenly around on one side of band, being careful to get enough stitches that the row doesn't get tight. It is better to add too many stitches here than not enough. Count your stitches, the pattern requires an even number. You can also add a second row of SC with extra increases if you would like a fuller hat, just make sure the first row isn't too tight. Join to first Sc with Sl St. Do not turn!

Hat Pattern row 1(V's): ch. 4 (counts as 1 DC and 1 ch now and throughout) 1 DC in same stitch as join. *skip next sc, 1 DC, ch 1, 1 DC in next SC* Repeat ** around. Join with sl. st. in 3rd of 4 ch.

Hat Pattern row 2 (Clusters): ch. 2 (counts as 1 DC) Beginning cluster in same ch. 1 space. ch. 1. *3 DC cluster in next ch. 1 space, ch. 1* repeat ** around, ending with a sl. st. in top of beginning cluster. sl. st. to next ch. 1 space.

Hat Pattern row 3 (V's): ch. 4, 1 DC in same ch. 1 space. *in next ch. 1 space, 1 DC, ch. 1, 1 DC* around. Join with sl. st. in 3rd of 4 ch.   (Just like row 1, but worked in ch. 1 spaces instead of sc.)

Repeat the two pattern rows (v's and clusters) to desired length, ending with a cluster row. The more rows you make, the longer your hat will slouch down.  Do not sl. st. to next ch. 1 space.

Next row (Decreasing): ch. 1, SC Dec in top of cluster and next ch. 1 space around. join rounds, ch. 1, sc dec in each sc around. Repeat until the top hole lies closed without being stitched. Cut yarn, and weave your end through the last few stitches to secure. Weave in ends and your done!

Wedding Gift

Hello again!

To everyone who has submitted a hat order, rest assured, I am working on them! But, I took last week off to work on  a wedding sampler for a friend who got married on Sunday. I designed this myself, and it took me exactly one week to stitch it. On 16 count Aida, it is 8x10. I'm sorry the picture is so blurry, I couldn't find the battery for my good camera, so I had to use my cell phone.

 

 

This past weekend I also found some time to bring my baby sister to one of my favorite stores, Hobby Lobby. Mom sent me to get some art stuff for Sarah, so since she was there I let her pick out her own thread. (yes, the kid is only two, but she can already thread pony beads onto a pipe cleaner.)

 

She had so much fun counting to five and telling my how beautiful the colors were. She's so bright, and I can't wait to teach her how to actually cross stitch when she's older. She already has a love for crafting!

 

Happy Crafting!

Free Hand Madness

Hello Again!

Last year I was given a challenge by a group of nerdy college students to create some Pokémon hats. The only problem? Ravelry only has two Pokémon hat patterns, neither of which were the Pokémon asked for. So, I had to free hand some pretty complex hats, and I decided to skip one altogether, as it is just too out there. The picture below shows the four hats that I have completed. They are Scrafty (orange dude on the head), Cyndaquil (blue and yellow behind the 3DS), Vaporeon (multi blue in the front), and Wobbuffet (solid blue).

 

And I still have a few more hats to make. One is already half way done, and the picture below shows the beginnings of Pikachu and Mew.

Happy New Year!

Hello again and a very happy near year to everyone!

2013 was a great year for me as far as crafting went. I made lots of amazing hats and sold most of them. I challenged myself to knit a Doctor Who scarf and ended up with two of them. And I worked on some beautiful cross stitch projects. And 2014 is shaping up as a great year for more crafting.

I have set two challenges for myself so far. The first is a neat little project that includes Pi to a certain decimal point with the symbol behind the list. Grab the pattern for yourself from this Etsy page. Below is a picture of how far I have gotten and you can see that I am having some fun with my pattern. I am working on a navy blue 14 count fabric with white numbers. I plan on using a bright red for the Pi symbol. Isn't it fun to change up details on a pattern?

The second challenge is a cross stitched version of the Exploding Tardis from Doctor Who. Sorry, I don't have a picture of that one yet. It is 6 pages long, and is being worked on a 16 count.

What kind of great projects do you have planed for the new year? I would love to hear about them in the comments!

Merry Christmas!

Hello again to everyone, and a very Merry Christmas!

I'm sorry for my lack of posting, you can be sure I have been wanting to, but I have not had a properly working computer for some time. But, for Christmas I asked for and received a new laptop! So, now I have no excuse in not keeping this blog up-to-date.

And to celebrate I am sharing a quick holiday pattern. I worked up this hat in a few hours.

You will need some worsted weight yarn in colors of your choice, and some fun fur in a coordinating color. I used an I/9-5.50MM hook and didn't keep track of gauge. This is really more of a guideline than a pattern.

To begin, ch. 4, work 5 DC in the 4th ch. from hook. Sl St. in the turning ch. ch. 3 and don't turn. Work one DC in each stitch around, while also adding 2 random increases on this round. On the next round, add two random increases, then switch to the next color. From here on, add 3 random increases evenly around on each row, changing colors when you feel like it (I did mine every two rows)When the hat fits around your head (once you reach about 65-70 stitches) then work a few rounds evenly (this was about 5 rows for me). Then switch over to your fun fur and work 2-3 rows for the brim. Make a pom-pom with your favorite method with the fun fur and attach to the top of the hat, and enjoy!

To make a longer hat you can work every other row without increases, or only work 2 increases on every row.

Even more Hats! (And a pattern!)

Hello again! I've been busy making hats again, even though

 the craft fair at my church was canceled. But when one
door closes, another one opens! I've been offered a spot
at my local farmer's market.

To the right, you can see my latest hats. The first is an apple (the color
didn't come out right in the picture, it's more of a Christmas red). It is
sized for an infant/newborn, and I am going to include my own pattern for it below.

 Next is a Cabbage Patch Kid inspired hat for a newborn. This one
took me a few tries to get right, as that loop stitch sent me for a,
well, loop. The pattern can be found at Repeatcrafterme.com.

And finally, some ear flap hats for kids. I made these with Deborah Norville Collection Everyday Soft Worsted, and they are soooo soft, shiny, and adorable!



Now go get out of the house this weekend and enjoy the lovely fall weather and local community.

Hats and Scarves in Summer?

Summer finaly arrived with a vengence, which sent my hands itching for my cross stitch needle for awhile. But now I am back at my crocheting since my sister Lucile asked me to make a certain hat for her for her birthday. Since I haven't yet given her the hat, I can not post a picture of it, but I can post some other fun hats I've been working on for my next craft fair!

        The black and gold one is made of self striping         Red Heart Team Spirit yarn found at Jo-Ann's.
        The pretty blue one is Lion Brand Hometown,
        also from Jo-Ann's. And the really bright one is         made from Red Heart Supersaver in Blacklight         with a black brim. All three were made with             the same pattern.

        The fair will be on Saturday, September 28 at
                 Good Shepherd Lutheran Church,
                35300 Home Estate Dr. Slidell, LA


In other crafting news, I've started working on a Doctor Who scarf! Of course, I didn't do all of my research before starting it, so I have to make two scarves, which will total more than 20 feet of knitting when done. As I do not really like knitting, this is quite the challenge for me! Even more surprising is that I seem to be very proficient at knitting, since in six days I've already knit just over 2 feet.                                                  

Here is a picture from the park this afternoon           where I worked on the scarf for a few hours      
to take advantage of the mid 80's weather.      
The bag is full of yarn!



Happy crafting my friends!

Preparing for Summer!

Hello Again!

With the weather having been so mild lately, I have been working blankets longer into the year than I normally do. I found The Crochet Crowd on Facebook and have been stitching up their monthly challenge. I began the Ocean Waves Afghan as a gift for a friend's baby boy who was born the day before my own birthday last month. Saddly, I have run out of yarn before the project is of an acceptable length. I'll get back to it when I can get enough 40-50% off coupons for Jo-Ann's stashed away.

In other news, family vacation is coming up in just two weeks! To celebrate, I have been working on some crocheted beach bags, one for my sister Amber, and the other for myself. Here's Amber's, and the yarn for mine. The yarn is Bernat Handicrafter 100% Cotton from Jo-Ann's. Normaly $10, I got each skein with coupons for arround $5.50. Can't beat that deal for 12oz of cotton!

I got the pattern here from Lion Brand Yarns. (Warning! You will need to sign up for the site to access the pattern.) I modified the strap from 9 rows to 20 for a better fit and used a size I/9-5.50MM crochet hook. I also added a zipper and unrequired button loops at the midpoint of the handle. The buttons are shells, adding to the beach theme.
Happy Crafting Everyone!

Please note the cute little monster kitten, AKA Clara, who has been keeping me from working very fast the past three weeks.

It's Cold Outside!

Hello again craft world! How has everyone been since my last update? Are you staying warm in this crazy weather? As many of you know, I live in Southern Louisiana where the temperature is normally just hot, but this year it has been crazy. In January it felt like March, and now that it is March, we have a freeze warning tonight! With that little rant, I believe it is time to share some blankets I've been working on.

First up, a spiral blanket worked in four colors. You can find the pattern for this here on Ravelry, but be warned, this is not for the novice crocheter! Working with four skeins of yarn at one time is challenging, even if the pattern itself is easy. 

Next up, a Mile-A-Minute project I started today. I've been wanting to try this technique for many years, but never got around to finding a pattern. While at Hobby Lobby today I found a book that show how to do this step-by-step. Now, I don't need such basic instructions, as you should all know by looking at my work, but I have a friend who is learning to crochet and while at her house the other day her grandma was talking of mile-a-minute blankets she used to make in her younger days. I think this book will help my friend once I'm done with it. 

In other crafting news, I'm now on Etsy! I have one pattern up for sale, with another on it's way. Click here to see my shop! It's only got one pattern for sale so far, but more are on the way. This next picture is of a coming soon pattern. It's Luther's Rose and would be wonderful for any church, pastor, or home!

And I've learned how to use a bead loom! Look how many bracelets I made in two weeks!

Ya'll be blessed and stay warm!

Passing on the Arts

Well, it has not been as productive of a weekend as I had hoped for, but I did get some work done.

First, I want to brag about my younger sister. She has been watching her three older sisters doing art work her entire life (all seven years) and has been wanting to learn how to cross stitch from me for the last two years. For her birthday, I got her a small kit with that in mind, then lost the kit. So I thought I would give it to her for Christmas... It got to her a week ago. Oh well. Here are some pictures of her work. Granted, I have to hold the fabric for her and remind her where to place the needle, but I think she's doing very well for her age ^.^                                                                          
                                                                                     

The first picture is of her progress so far...





     




...And this shows how neat the back of her work is.

 Here are some dish cloth bunnies that I made up quickly today. I plan on selling these along with lots more of their buddies in my church and on Etsy to help raise some funds for my upcoming trip to the LCMS National Senior Youth Gathering in San Antonio this July.







The only other project I worked on this weekend was a cross stitch piece for a family member that I don't want to reveal until after I have sent it to them and I am no where near the end of that project.

Good night for now everyone, I'm off for some more stitching before heading to bed.

First Projects of the Year

Hello again! Can you believe that we are already nearing the end of January? Where did the time go in this first month of a new year? Though I have not been posting, I have been busy. Here are the first two projects that have been completed this year, though they are by no means the only projects I have going at the moment.

First, a new Kindle jacket! The fabric features owls,
Butterflies and flowers, some of my favorite things!








Next, hot out of the hoop, is this cute owl picture! Sorry for the creases in the fabric, but I just had to share it and don't have time to iron it right now.

A side note about this piece, I challenged Amber to complete this same project, and the looser has to buy the other a frappe. Looks like I'll be enjoying one soon ^.^




I have this weekend off and plan on working on some of my other projects, one at least that I know can be completed in a few hours if I sit down and do it. More pictures coming soon!

Merry Christmas!

Well, I know it is late for Christmas day, but this post is delivered within the 12 days of Christmas, so here it is, my gift to you!

I designed this scarf as a gift for a friend. It is an adaptation of a pattern found in the Leisure Arts Little Books Beginner's Guide to Crochet Stitches and Easy Projects (green book) that I got at Walmart some years ago. I know that Hobby Lobby still carries this book. I have worked this scarf twice now, both times in Red Heart Worsted Weight and a size G hook. Use any yarn and hook combination that catches your fancy.

Book Review: Crochet Stitch Bible

Hello again Dear Friends!

It's time to add a new feature to this blog, a weekly post of a book review!

This week I am going to talk about one of my favorite crochet stitch resources, The Crochet Stitch Bible by Betty Barnden.

This book features full color photos of each stitch along with clear written instructions and easy to follow charts, a true gem when trying out a new stitch! With over 200 stitches included, you're sure to find the perfect stitch for that scarf or afghan you have been trying to design.

I have been using this book for several years and always have my beat up copy nearby when I begin a new project. This book can be hard to find at smaller bookstores, though most full size book stores have a copy on the shelf. Best bet? Buy it below in the AStore on this site.

Stay tuned for more great book reviews and crafting updates!

I Voted Free Pattern

Hello Again Everyone!

With the presidential election just under twenty-four hours away, I have come up with a free cross stitch pattern perfect for the day. This is small enough to be made into a button, as I did.

What a perfect way to show your pride in voting and remind others to go vote as well. This took me about an hour and a half to stitch, then I mounted it on a circle of cardboard and added a safety pin to the back since I had no pre-made button forms on hand and no time to go get some before tomorrow.

 

Enjoy!

Crunch Time

Hello again everyone!

I've been busy preparing for my first ever craft fair. It's just one week away and I feel (know) that I don't have enough items made for the event. Oh well. We'll see how things go. Here's a look at what I've made so far. Sorry for all of the dangling ends.

                                          I've posted plenty of pictures of the hats, so I'll just
                                         talk about the other items. First, some cuff bracelets.

                                          Then some flower barretts, finished and half done.

                                          And finaly, some chokers. I plan on adding some
                                              sparkly pendants to the middle of these and
                                                                making a few more.

                                                  The fair is at Herritage Park in Slidell.
                                       I'll be sharing my table with my sister and two family
                                         friends. Here's some pictures of my sister's artwork.

 

Ya'll be Blessed!

Lots of Work

Hello everyone! So sorry for the long silence, I promise that I have been busy at my crafting and here is the proof!

First up, some hair ribbons that I made for my sister for her birthday.

Now for the hats! I have made several of these in the past few weeks. The red Thing 2 hat is for myself. I started this hat back in April as a set of Thing 1 and Thing 2 hats for myself and my twin brother. So much for keeping that deadline *sigh*. The set of two was a commissioned job, the yellow one is being worked from my first attempt at hand dying thread (The results were amazing, if I do say so myself), and finaly the red one is being worked on while I am not home since the yellow one feels like it will tangle too much if I bring it out of the house.

        And the last item that I came up with today was a set of flower hair clips. Aren't they cute?

 

Ya'll be Blessed!
