Handwarmers

I like to take breaks during blanket making and do smaller projects. These handwarmers were so easy to make. I got the pattern from Ravelry. I drank coffee with mocha creamer in it while making these 😉

Tulips

It's spring time!

Here is a tulip blanket that I'm making for someone. It's going to be a gift, so this person doesn't know it yet. I really enjoy making this one. It has different stitches, which keep me from getting bored of it. I got the pattern from redheart.com

yup, I'm still crocheting

I have a lot of secret projects going on. That's why I haven't been posting. I'm planing on having a bunch more secret projects, and I want to keep blogging, so I'm just not going to say who they are for. *wink*

Here's a baby blanket I made for a dear friend of mine. I started out with the pattern that came with the yarn, but I didn't really care for it, so I made it up as I went. The squares do follow the pattern; it's how they are connected and the border that's different.

overwhelmed

I am becoming overwhelmed with my crochet at the moment. I have too many projects going on! I have to finish a hat that I've sold to a friend, I wanted to and started making different headbands for my nieces, and I've got several blankets that I'm trying to make. I need to pick a project, finish it, and move on, but I haven't really been in the crocheting mood. Here's a look at what I've got going on.

This is a mis-matched blanket I'm working on. I'm using this pattern: http://littlewoollie.blogspot.com/p/mixed-stitch-stripey-blanket-crochet.html. I plan on taking my time with this one, as I'm just going to use leftover yarn from other projects. It won't match, but I'm cool with that. 

I'm also working on a mystery blanket,  you all will see it when I'm finished. And those headband earwarmers for my nieces. I'll post those and the patterns I've used for them when I'm done crocheting them. 

I have yarn for a baby blanket I need to start on because my friend's baby is due in April, so I don't have much time to work on it. 

More crochet

I've been pretty busy this winter. I've made many hats and sent them away to family and friends. My favorite hat is this Bonita hat. The pattern can be found here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/bonita-hat

This is what it looks like!

Not only have I been making hats, but I've also made a blanket!

I made this one for my brother for Christmas. It took about 3 months to make, so I guess it was more of a fall project. I'm currently making more hats and more blankets. I received a lot of yarn for Christmas, so stay tuned to see what else I've come up with.

Hats

Yesterday, I posted a few pictures of my hat that I made a long time ago. I thought  that I would share some hats that I've made more recently. 

I made this hat for my baby nephew, who will arrive soon. I can't find the pattern that I used for it, but I used a baby beanie pattern, added a white stripe near the top, and then "sewed" the laces on with my crochet hook and yarn. 

I made this hat for my little sister. It's a slouchie hat. You can't really tell by the picture because it needs some shapeing. 

I found this pattern on Ravelry, but the actually pattern is on a blog

And here is the photo! 

I have a few projects that I'm working on and would love to share, but they are secret projects. I will be sure to take plenty of pictures and post them when the time is right. 

Dishcloths and hand towels

My little sister and I had some time to facetime today - it seems as though we never get enough time to chat. She wants to learn how to crochet. She's making a scarf, so I showed her how, and I made another dishcloth since it's the same pattern. I just did a chain of the length of my dishcloth, and I used double crochet for the rest. Here is a collection that I'm making to give to a friend who is moving soon.
