Baby- Toddler Fingerless Mitts Pattern

So I was working on the whole "Bikini" Thing when Wham We are hit with the Biggest snow I've seen in a Very long time. Irony is a..... Anywho.So I placed that project to the side and Made a cozy pair of Fingerless mitts for myself. Well you KNOW kids NEED whatever you have so I wrote this tiny version. Picture was Taken Before weaving in my ends just in case i had to adjust anything :)

You will need :

J hook(mabye one smaller for you i always have to go up 1 size on patterns)

I used some bernat softee chunky from my stash which was Not full( still plenty left over)

Any chunky would do nicely.

CH20. SlSt together to form a ring. NO TWISTING :)~

Row 1-5: Ch 2 DC in same St, Dc in ea st across slst to beginning ch2.

Row 6: Ch 2 Dc in same st and each st across, Do not join.turn

Row 7: Ch 2 Dc in each st across. Join With Sl st.

Row 8: Ch 2 , Dc in same st and Each st across. Slst to join.

Weave in ends to finish . Don't forget to make another :)

Valentine's Crochet

Valentines is coming up so it thought Why Not, Lets crochet something a bit risque. :) Seemed natural with crochet having that "peek a boo" quality. And POO There's practically NOTHING out there for Patterns. Well guess that means I'll just have to Make one up! So I'm practicing the Makings of a "cup" with a bikini pattern and we'll see where we go with it.

Crochet Girls Skirt

Well this is my first time trying to crochet an article of clothing. And I am SOOOO Happy with the way it came out. In the original pattern it should have been a skort. But the shorts underneath didn't fit my daughter so I had to pull it out and just Make more of an underskirt since the outside has big-ish holes. The lady that wrote the pattern has a bunch and I now have quite a few of them on my crochet-to-do list. This is the pattern link for the one I made if you want to give it a shot. : http://www.christinascrochethaven.me/girl_clothing/earth_and_sky_skort.htm

I have a really tight stitch so next time I think Ill bump up the size hook I use cause her's seems more "flowey".

Toddler Bedspread Progress

So I thought of a fun way to use up a bunch of the red heart balls I have coming out my ears. A ainbow Toddler Bed spread. Basically A Ginormus Granny square Using The Biggest hook I own. I only Have 2 Evenings invested in it and its coming right along. Kinda more of a "show" Lacey top cover but hey Little girls LOVE pretty things. It looks a little delicate but as with everything in the house my youngest has dragged it around as a work in progress and no damage. This would be a GREAT beginner project.

Baby Powder Cover

Well Here we are My first pattern I've made myself. Or at least i think i have there's only a bajillion patterns out there. This Is for a Baby Powder Cover. It goes over one of the regular size bottles. Uses a draw string top.

You will need: Size I Needle, Red heart super saver yarn of your color choice(way less than a full skein). And a Bit of ribbon for the draw string. About a foot. yarn needle and stitch marker.

Here goes:

Ch. 2

Rnd1:12 Hdc in 2nd ch from hook, join with sl st in top of 2nd chain (you should have 12 hdc)

Rnd2: ch2, Hdc in ssame st. Then do 2 Hdc in each st around, join (24 stitches)

Rnd 3-21 +/-: Ch2, hdc in each st around. Dont join just keep working in the round using a stitch marker to count the rows.

Finishing: Use a yarn needle to thred the ribbon through the top row of stitches weaving in and out every 2 stitches. Tie off in a bow. Ta Da!

My Crochet Kitties

So here they are. Kitty one and kitty 2 I thought since i have mentioned them they aught to make an apperance. Truthfully if you can make a ball and a couple different size "tubes" you can make alot of amimals. Just got to get creative for the ears and suchI might shorten the tail and add a "tube" for a snout and make a couple piggies. Or mabye some long ears and a cottonball for a tail for a little easter basket surprise. Definetly gonna have to shorten the legs for that one.

My Sock Fail

So I've spent the last 2 Days attampting to make a pair of those crochet slipper socks for the kiddos. Fail. Just can't get the Heel. Bad pattern mabye? I've Made amigurumi cats, Cats! and I just can't make a heel. But after some creative modifying we now have sippy cup coozies.

The Sage Is Alive!

Well I went outside and under all that Frost i dug out My sage Plant And Wow it was still kinda green. So I brought it inside, Gave it a warm water soak in the sink and put it near the fireplace. That was last week. By today I have almost 2 inches of new growth and baby light green leaves coming on the tips of the branches. Time to go find another i Guess.
