Prayer / Comfort Shawl

A woman at my job lost her husband this past week, so I decided to make her a comfort shawl.
I used Caron Simply Soft WW Yarn in Lilac.

I was amazed at how easy it was, even though it looker rather complicated in the book.

Although I was making it for a sad occasion, I had fun making it, and it went rather quickly.
There is a good chance I will be making more of these.

Thank you for looking!!


Update:
She loved it, and was in tears, which had me in tears.
Two other associates complimented me on it as well saying it was beautiful. =]

Crochet Hook Holder

I wanted to do this project a long time ago, but never did. Then I saw someone else had done it on Cutoutandkeep.com, and figured it was high time I just went for it.

So here it is:

Colors are Light Raspberry and Coffee in Red Heard ww yarn.

Coffee Mug Cozy

Wow, it sure has been a long time since I have posted a project. I just haven't made anything in a while. There have been a few projects that I have started on, then stopped for one reason or another.

Anyway!! I am sick, so I made a cup of tea. I microwaved the water and when I started to bring the tea upstairs with me, I burnt my hands. I know, you are saying, 'That is what the handle is for.' You obviously don't know me too well!! haha My hands shake, especially when I am sick, and ESPECIALLY when I am carrying something that cannot be dropped, going up the stairs. So I have to carry everything with two hands if it has some weight to it and is spillable.

SO!! I came up with a brilliant idea and made a cozy for my coffee cups. They slide on and off very easily since they are stretchy.

Here is a pic:

I used Red Heart ww yarn in Coffee and Light Raspberry.
The pattern is simple:
Chain 35.
Slip stitch into first chain making sure the chains are straight, creating a round.
Sc in each chain across. Slip stitch in first sc to create a round.
Cut yarn and with second color chain 2 in first sc. Dc around and cut off yarn.
Repeat until you have a total of 6 rows.
At the end of the last row, slip stitch to create a round.
When you are done, weave in any ends you may have.

Thanks for reading!!
If you attempt the project, I would love to see your versions, so please leave me a comment with a link to yours!!

Rainbow Hat!

Ok, so I did the quick wearables exchange at the Happy Hooker this month. (This month was a hat) I was excited and wanted to use some rainbow yarn, so I went to walmart and got some caron simply soft in "embroidery print" and black.

I got the pattern from my happy hooker book that I bought.
Let's see... It was called the pda.

Of course I kinda did my own thing with it and changed up the pattern a little, I also didn't add the ear flaps, they just kept coming out wrong :(

Anyway, here is the final result, being modeled by my darling boyfriend.
Hope my partner likes it!!

Baby Overlay Dress

The Inspiration:

My friend at work, Jonell, had a baby about 5 months ago. I wasn't confident enough in my crochet skills to make her something until now.

The Yarn:

I found some yarn at goodwill, Lily Sugar 'n Cream Baby and Fingering Yarn. It is 100% Pure, Soft Spun Cotton, 3-Ply, Pre-Shrunk, in #11 Yellow.

The Pattern:

Pattern can be found here.

The pattern was pretty easy to work as long as you have a basic knowledge of crochet.
I used 2 strands of the yarn with an H hook.

There is a slight variance from her pattern to my dress, as I didn't add the sleeves. I just preferred the shorter sleeved look.

Thanks for looking, I so hope Jonell likes it, and now I definitely feel more comfortable making clothing and baby items.
