Gavin and His Octopi

2007-09-20T06:25:00.001-07:00

These are the octopi I made for gavin. We saw the pattern on craftster and he had to have them.

First he wanted the boy......

then he needed a girl friend for the boy octopus

Now they are one big happy family

Then I showed my friend and she asked me to make a set for his son and his friend. Heres what I came up with :)

Birthday Present for My Niece

2007-08-12T09:24:00.000-07:00

I found this sweater on lion brands site a while ago and had to make it. I didn't have enough yarn to make it a solid color but I did have these 2 yarns that went well together So I figured I would just make the edging in the contrasting color.

Then since I had so much pink left I decided to make a hat to match. The hat just cried out for big flower on it. Although that is detachable and can be pined on the sweater as well

Then I ran to target and got her a jean skirt and leggings and a tank top. Heres the whole outfit

Took a few pics

2007-07-14T18:52:00.001-07:00

Okay I took a couple of pics.
here is my squigly wiggly hot pad

and my moms blanket so far

I tried to take a pic of the sweater i made but they didn't come out good laying flat. So it will have to wait till when I'm not wearing jamies lol

Need to take pics.

2007-07-14T18:03:00.000-07:00

I have so many projects I want to post pictures of but i keep slacking off. I've made 2 squiggly pot holders, one I already gave away though. A scrap and i want to post pics of the blanket I'm working on for my mom. I just got a copy of the current crochet today and I started making some cute coasters but I think I may start them over and revise the pattern a little.

Finished my Blue Star

2007-07-03T15:09:00.000-07:00

Well Its been a while since I posted. I did finish my blue star but I'm having trouble posting pics not sure what i'm doing wrong but I guess I will try again...... Okay I think I got them now ... lol ... So heres the blue star I finished ...

Fat Bottom Bag - Finished. I just need to weave in the ends. Oh yeah and I need my handles lol I ordered them like 8 or 9 days ago from eBay and haven't gotten them yet. I'm not sure if I will use the dark brown 6 inch pair or the bamboo 5 inch pair. The color is actually a little off in this picture. It's darker, the yarn is Lion Brand Suede in Denim.

The Bottom of the Back

The pattern in the book with a small piece when I started

2007-01-17T16:09:00.000-08:00

First My Yo Yo's :) Woo Hoo I have 289 done so far :)

Second a Spiral Scarf for Mil made from left over yarn Lion Brand Homespun (dark purple) and TLC Amore (pink)

This is a scrap scarf I made from little pieces of yarn that i tied together. The pattern was really simple. I started with a chain to the thickness that I wanted it Plus an extra 3 chains (counts as first DC). Row 1: in the 4th chain from the hook DC, DC in next chain, *chain 1, Skip 1 chain and DC in the next chain* repeat from * to * across with 1 chain remaining and DC in the last chain.
Row 2: Turn, Chain 4 (counts as first DC and chain 1), *Skip 1st stitch, DC in next stitch, chain 1*, repeat from * to * across DC in last DC. Row 3: Turn, Chain 3 (counts as first DC) *DC in next stitch, Chain 1, Skip 1 DC*, Repeat from * to * across 1 DC in each of last 2 DC's. Repeat rows 2 and 3 until you reach your desired length and bind off and weave in ends.

This is a scarf I made for myself. I found the idea in a post on Craftster. All it is, is a bunch of long pieces of yarn that i knotted together and then braided and knotted at the other end. Really simple Only took maybe a half hr to make :)

2007-01-17T16:07:00.000-08:00

I just made these 2 necklaces for my nieces. The picture is kind of bad but I need to redo them so I will get a better picture when I remake them. I'm worried because they are a little small and I want them to be able to wear them for a while.

2007-01-12T08:58:00.000-08:00

Lots of stuff finished!!! Partially because I've been crocheting a lot partially because I'm really bad at keeping up with my blog lol.

First a not so short "Short and Sweet" from the Happy Hooker Book. It's my first sweater and I made it for myself but it's a little to big for me ... I'm not really lovin it on me. I will probably give it as a gift for christmas next year

This is a scrap scarf I did for my mom, not the best picture but alas I already gave it to her so I can't take another.

Another Scrap Scarf this one is for my aunt :)

A baby blanky in Beth's Little Star patern

A small blanky for my son in the shape of an octopus :)

I'm still working on an afghan for my sister and a spiral scarf for MIL. Gavin wants me to make him a sweater vest from the Candy Tot's book for which I just ordered the yarn from Knit Pick's last night, so I will be starting on that very soon :)

2006-12-28T10:01:00.000-08:00

Gavin asked me to make him a new hat with "ball's and ears on it" this is what he got :)

2006-09-21T18:42:00.000-07:00

Heres my afghan I was working on :) It's FINALLY done!

2006-08-16T14:43:00.000-07:00

I forgot to take a picture of the red white and blue afghan finished before I sent it to my friend :( But heres the poncho I made for her:

2006-08-03T10:17:00.000-07:00

I'm really bad at this whole "blogging" thing. I made a really cute scarf and hat for one of Gavin's girl friends and didn't get a picture before I gave it to her :( Oh well. I'm working on a few blankies for my friends mom to give at baby showers.

This one is pretty much done. I just need to weave in a "few" ends.

This one I just started the other day. i really love the colors :)

I also need to make a poncho and finish up a blanket I started at the begining of the summer. And then theres the bag for the Happy Hooker chain gang along ... and I wonder why I have such a hard time remembering to blog lol.

2006-07-02T20:39:00.000-07:00

Heres the hat I just finished for the Happy Hooker Chain Gang Crochet Along. It's from the Stich n' Bitch Happy Hooker book. It's supposed to have an Anarchy A on it but I went with a G instead.
