Amigurumi Lion

Sometimes while working on a large project.  There is a need to finish something quickly.  Amigurumi.  Its quick and a great scrap stash buster.

Amigurumi Lion

Project utility belt

There are supplies that will be needed in most of your projects.  They may be listed in material or not.  I realized after several blogs that some to my material lists were incomplete.

There ought to be clowns!!!

I found this clown pattern (Pierrot, the clown) on Ravelry. It looked like a great way to use up small yarn scraps, the donated unknown fiber yarns. and the really scratchy yarns.

Ultimate Granny Sqaure

The next stitch pattern is the Ultimate Granny Square.
Block 3

Embroidery Floss

Several years ago, I became entranced with embroidery floss.  So many colors. So many options. So some times I make things with it just because the colors are pretty.

It's Sock Monkey time!!!!!!!!

Sometimes you need a small project between the large ones. Try a Sock Monkey.
This project took about 3 days. It was relaxing.  I found "Learn to Crochet Toys" at Walmart a few months ago. And added it to my Ravelry library, then on the book shelf.  And just pulled it off and thought " It's Sock Monkey time".

One skein shawlette

Sometimes you buy only one skein of yarn because its pretty.. You get home and have no idea what to make with just one skein

Here is a suggestion: Raina shawlette 

The pattern is easy, but you will need to know how to do wrap and turns.  I added charms to the wrap and turns and on the ends

Birthday Blog

Hi , I'm starting this blog on my 61 birthday.  Because I crochet and knit so many things, people always ask about how I did it or what pattern is that or what stitch did I used. This blog will cover steps I took to get to the end of the project. This is my first post.  So many more to come.
