rug thing

Is it a rug?  Is it a table accessory?  I have no idea.  It was modeled after a rug I found on Pinterest, but since it’s small it would work on a table, too. Not sure what to do with it, or even whether or not to give it as a Christmas present, as intended.  Made with Caron Simply Soft.  Used the hexagon pattern at attic24.

Aaaaand, my boyfriend made me some Christmas cookies, so I added a pic of them too.  Yummy!

more ornaments

So I’m ornament happy — I made a snowflake one!  The pattern for the snowflake is found here, and I just attached it to another cheap bangle from Wal-Mart!

makin’ some ornaments

I made this tonight out of crochet thread size 10, a 1/B hook, and a bangle that I got in a set in the Wal-Mart jewelry section.  Cheap, pretty, AND homemade, these would be great gifts!  This one was started out as a granny square, then turned into a circle.  Both the square and the circle patterns are on this site, so you can make these yourself!  I’m gonna make some more — they’re so pretty!

filet baby blanket

I made this in a couple of days for a girl at school — she wanted something to give to her new nephew for Christmas!  It’s a little narrow — she wants me to make another one for her niece so I’ll probably add more height to the next one.  In case you can’t tell, it says Noah.  🙂

croc hat, try 2

This is my second try with the crocodile stitch hat pattern, found here.  This one was much faster than my first one, probably due to the fact that I actually used worsted yarn like the pattern calls for.

Changes to the pattern that I made include: using an H hook instead of G, chaining 2 instead of 1 between the dcs in the non-decrease set up rounds.  I also added an extra round of dc at the very end because the hole at the top of the hat was too big, but it totally looks fine and I just sewed it up!

I’ll try to write out a modified version of the pattern to post on this site for easier (and hopefully more understandable) access, so look for it soon!
