Hats, Mitts and Booties

One of the girls at work just recently found out that she was going to be a grandmother. She decided that she was going to crochet a baby blanket for the new bundle of joy. She then brought the extra yarn to work and asked if I would be able to crochet a hat, mitts and booties to go along with the blanket. She said that she wasn't comfortable enough yet in her crochet to do so. I told her that I would be glad to. This is what I came up with. I hope she enjoys them.

P.S. The toe of my second sock is finished. Will be starting the cable pattern soon.

Progress Bar

I added a progress bar on the right hand side. You can also click the title of the project and it will link you to the patterns on Ravelry. For you to be able to see the patterns you will have to create a profile for Ravelry. It's free and there are tons of patterns. This is the first place I go to when I am looking for patterns. Enjoy and have a productive day!

What the Heck Was I Thinking?

Okay. I think I must be loosing my mind. I am getting further behind in my projects. I have signed up at the LYS for a Sock of the Month club. I was doing really well the first couple of months. I am currently on November's Sock. It is called Rhetoric by Kiersten Brandt.



I just finished one sock on Saturday. Grr.

The sock pattern for December is Easy Peasy Zigzag Socks by Julia Reide.


Then the January sock pattern is Nippers by Tanya Bangart.



That is just the socks. I don't know what I was thinking when I signed up for the mitten of the month club in October. I did finish the October and November patterns for this club. I haven't even started the Mitten for December which is Dashing by Cheryl Naimath.


Then I just got an email the other day for the January mitten, Lotus Mittens by Heather Desserud.

OMG!!!! Really. On the plus side I do have the yarn for the two mittens and all put January's sock. Now to make matters worse I went and signed up yesterday for this......

What the heck was I thinking? Someone stop me before this madness gets out of control.

I will keep you posted on the progress of this mess.

Well, I have found a new pattern. I am in love with it. I even think I have the perfect yarn for it. Problem. I still am not finished with this




This pattern is called Seneca by Jared Flood. I love it, but for some reason I am having difficulties finishing it. GRRR. I have told myself that I am going to finish this sweater this summer. It has only been setting on needles since the beginning of December.

I told myself this morning that I was going to work on it today. I don't think that is going to happen. I was on Ravelry and found this

The pattern for this is called Slink. It looks like a fast knit and fun. I might even have the perfect yarn. Hmmm, what is a chik to do?

Cake is Made

I picked out the colors I want to use in my Pokey Dot Throw. I am so in love with these colors. I can't wait to get started on his.

Grab Bag

I was looking for a cute little bag that I can put one skein of sock yarn in. I found a pattern called The Grab Bag from Curbly's website. I think I am going to modify the pattern just a little bit so when I am setting in the lawn chair in the evening I can hang it from the arm. I can't wait to start on this tomorrow.
