This and That

I did get a chance 

to take a couple 

of pictures of the 

Christmas tree skirt

but they didn't turn out 

too well at night

I will try another time

in the daylight

I have been working on a

granny square blanket 

for my daughter in the

colors of her choice

I call them easter egg colors

I have a few squares to go

then the border

I think I will do pom-poms

Or will that be to juvenile?

I have already collected yarn

for my next project

I think I have a crochet addiction...

Blue waves

I have been working on this blanket

for almost a year its finally done!

I wanted my 6' son
to be able to wrap up in it
so its a very LARGE blanket

It has the feel of ocean waves

 All in blues & greens

I folded it up
sat it on the couch
and it was like
a cat magnet

Why do my cats like to lay
 on everything that I crochet???

I finished this tree skirt too
but forgot to take pictures of
it all done before I gave it away

I used mostly leftover yarn

Fortunately I gave it to
someone that lives nearby
so when I go over there
next time I will take pictures
of it around their tree

I used the pom pom edge on it
and it turned out really cute!

I will post pictures soon.

Beanie Marathon Weekend

The weather is 
getting cold again

which means 
its time for beanies!

I had a request 
from a little someone

who lives in Oregon 

for some new beanies

so I spent the weekend
crocheting beanies

They are a fun little distraction

Quick and easy to make

And they help de-stash

My ever growing pile of yarn

And now back to 
afghan crocheting….
I'm finishing up a 
VERY LARGE
project

Rainbow Unicorn

A few days ago I was looking thru

Pinterest and came across 

a unicorn beanie at Repeat Crafter Me

I do have to admit I let out

a little squeal....my grand daughter

is obsessed with unicorns

Especially RAINBOW unicorns

Being the yarn hoarder that I am

I had everything I needed

except the green yarn

The beanie was easy

But the mane and the ears

took a couple tries

to get them right

I did modify the ears

and added a couple rows 

to the horn

....a

unicorn does need a

substancial horn ya know

Im tickled with the 

way it turned out

and I can't wait

to see the look on her face

when I give it to her
