Squares, Ami and Monkey Hat!

The first completed items I wanted to share is six - 12" flower themed squares for one of my friends on my swapping list.







Next is another flower square for a swap I am doing. But I mostly took the picture to show the friend who made me the blocking board! So I can make sure my 12" squares are actually 12"!!! I love it!



By the way, all of the flower squares are free patterns on line - search for flower square and you will find a LOT of them!

Next is a little kitty amigurami I made for a gift for a friend. The pattern I found on line - it is called ChiChi Kitty.



And last, but no way lease, is a Monkey Hat I made for my heart nephew! I so enjoyed making it! Also, this was a free pattern - I searched for Monkey Hat and found one that was available in all sizes!





That is it for now - thanks for looking.

Couch and some St. Patrick's Day Items

Just a few items I had forgotten I hadn't yet posted!

This first one is a Kleenex Box Tissue Cover Isn't it the cutest? Looks like a comfy couch! The pattern is from Annie's Attic.



Next is a Shamrock Dishcloth. This pattern is from the Lily - Sugar and Cream website.



And finally this is a Saint Patrick's Day Door Decoration! Thanks to my SIL Kathy and my husband Harry, they cut out the insert of wood in the shape of the hat for me to crochet around, and then Harry added the hanging hooks and wire for it to be hung on the door! Isn't it great? It could be decorated in so many ways! I found the pattern in Crochet! magazine.




That's it for now - thanks for always looking.

Updated projects and Cute Kitty!

Hi there - back with a few completed projects as well as some pictures of my youngest cat.

First is an Offset Shell Shawl I made. I found the pattern here Offset Shell Shawl



Next is a heart shaped dishcloth. I found this pattern through a Crochet A Long on Ravelry.



Next is a little Crochet A Long I hosted on one of my groups. It was for this adorable heart doll. I found the pattern here Heart Shaped Baby Doll



Next is a tea cozy I made for someone on one of my crochet lists. I found the pattern here Rosy Cosy



And finally are two pictures of my Baby Brat Butler - he only has three legs. When he was a kitten he was caught in a car and lost the back right leg. You would never know he was disabled - he runs like the wind! We call him Low Rider sometimes when he runs. Here he is in two poses - sitting on an empty pizza box!





That is it for now - be back soon with more.

Doodles, Cover and Shawl

A few more finished things to share - took these pictures a bit ago and then promptly; forgot them! First is a Pompadoodle yarn scarf - really weird stuff to work with but it did come out nice, maybe?



Next is another casserole cover - it's in variegated brown, black and white. I've shared this pattern in the past - very nice and quick to make.



And last for now is another shawl I made for one of the residents at the local nursing home. It is done in Lion Brand Homespun yarn - very soft and fluffy!




Be back soon with more.

More projects and a Christmas Lapghan

I am back with more completed items. First is a purple and white wine bottle cover. Makes a great gift wrap idea. You can find the pattern at Wine Bottle Cover



Next is a little heart doily I made for a friend on one of my lists. You can find the pattern at Heart Doily



Next is a cornflower blue with silver thread running through it that I made for myself- this pattern was from an old magazine.



Next is a square I made from a pattern from The Needlecrafter Shop - it was a collectors series that I received in the mail years ago. I made it slightly bigger than the original pattern - I wanted it to be a 12" square.



And finally and the most treasured item I have right now - is my Christmas lapghan. I was in a swap for months sharing Christmas colored squares with other swappers - I put mine together for myself - first lapghan for just me! I love it - and I can not take any credit but that I sewed them together!



Be back soon with more.
