Sandwich Dishcloth, Roses and a Square

I had so much fun making this first item - well items - I made two slices of bread dishcloths and then an egg shaped dishcloth for a swap - I am still laughing over it - hope you laugh too! I found both patterns on the web by searching for Bread Dishcloth and Egg Dishcloth (the egg was actually an amigurami with the yolk part stuffed but I adapted it).

This first picture is of just the bread slice.



This next picture is of the egg on the bread.



And, finally, here is the Egg Sandwich!!



Are you laughing yet?

Next is a bunch of dark red roses I made for a friend. The pattern is called Long Stemmed Roses and I found it through a google search.



And finally is a square I made for a swap. I took an afghan pattern and just made the one square, but did it Tunisian Crochet. This was my first try at changing colors - I had a few issues - but the receiver says its lovely - so I'll take her word for it! The pattern was called Bunny Square I think - I didn't save it - but I found it through a google search.

Just Two Scarves

Hello, just popping in with two new scarves I made.

The first is a Bunny Peep Scarf I made for my heart niece, Haileigh. I did it in bright yellow. The pattern is from Etsy - it's called "Coco Scarf by Rebecca Glaze" - enjoyable pattern!



And second is a Frilly Scarf. This is from the Red Heart Sashay Yarn and is the pattern that you can get from Red Heart for the scarf - it is pattern number LW2750 Frilly Crochet Scarf. It's sort of odd to get used to working with this ribbon style yarn, but once you get it - it's actually very easy!




That is it for now! I'll be back soon with more, of course!

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.

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.
