New Special Order

2008-01-19T21:52:00.000-08:00

This bag I made as a special order for a co-worker who daughter loves reggae. She bought me the yarn and I made it over the weekend. She loved it. It was a good project to try to figure out this bag design in three colors. I had to make sure the top part of the bag was also striped correctly.

I love this one. Red, fuzzy, soft, delicious!

Birdy Bag

2007-12-19T03:49:00.000-08:00

I kinda stole this idea, but I changed the design. I crocheted a simple single stitch bag, white on the front, green on the back and then used embroidery thread to sew a little yellow felt bird and two funny trees onto the white side of the bag. I really like this bag, and it only took me 4 episodes of Veronica Mars to complete!

Handbags are my life!

Octopus - Red

2007-12-06T20:48:00.000-08:00

Here he is. The newest addtion. I created the pattern, he only has five legs, but I think that is cute. Eight would have been crowded. I like the way he looks with the snake and the duck too. I used cotton yarn in bright colors. And white felt for the face.

More Amigurumi

2007-12-06T18:51:00.000-08:00

Here are two more little Amigurumi characters. The little duck is kind of dorky and confused. The beak needs work, but Dan absolutely loves his little haircut.
The snake is filled with pinto beans and was created to be a draft reducer. I put him in any windowsill and he keeps the wind out of the house. He is also fun to play with.

Bronwen Sweater and Hat Set

2007-12-02T13:45:00.001-08:00

My first attempt this autumn when I jumped back into my crocheting frenzy was a sweater and matching hat set for Bronwen. I found this gorgeous yarn and without a pattern in mind, just went at it. Sometimes this process works out, sometimes the results are disastrous. This time it turned out okay. The sweater was a little big, the neck line was definitely too wide. The hat was perfect! Now, if only the little booger will keep it on!

Amigurumi

2007-11-26T20:58:00.000-08:00

I found a reference to these adorable little guys in a book, did a little research and found a whole new world of crocheting fun. I just completed my very first amigurumi. I haven't given him a name yet, but he is some sort of bear/mouse creature. He's cute and scary at the same time. I had a lot of fun making this guy and I look forward to making lots more.

I used cheap Red Heart yarn in brown and blue. The body is filled with lentils for the butt and poly-fill stuffing for the rest of the body, arms and head.

My First Sweater From A Pattern

2007-11-26T10:43:00.000-08:00

I have finally completed my first sweater crocheted from a pattern! I have attempted patterns before, but tend to get bored, confused or both and give up after a short time. This pattern was advance enough to be challenging, but easy to understand, and fun as hell to put together. It makes use of the Clover Fan Pattern, which is not only beautiful but also interesting to hook. I used a really expensive variegated yarn (This sweater is worth $56.00 in yarn alone!), and someone I showed it to described it as "beachy." I like the sand and sea feel to it, and it is soft and heavy to wear.

The pattern is from a book called Loop-D-Loop (which is filled with incredible patterns). The yarn is by Moda Dea, and it is called Tweedle Dee; the color is Surf and Turf, Lot # 50.


(This sweater is for sale for $100)
