Yarn Projects

I made this crochet hat and cocoon for a friend who had a little boy.  The hat was a little hard because I used stretchy yarn.  I love the colors!

This cocoon I made by loom knitting.  I love the looks of a knitted stitch but loom knitting is so boring.  I would stop and measure the cocoon about every other row to see how much farther I had to go. I actually used two yarns together.  The baby yarn I bought was to thin to use by itself and the cocoon wasn't holding shape.  By combining the two colors it turned out much better.

Santa Hat

I found this pattern a while ago and thought it was SO cute!  I am proud of myself for getting the hat made BEFORE the holidays.  I actually made this hat as a photo prop for my sister-in-law.  Before I gave it to her I had to see if it was cute or not.  I think my nephew makes the hat even more adorable!

This one is my favorite!

Blowing kisses for his Auntie!

Christmas Stocking

Bragging time!  I made this Christmas stocking for my nephew.  I didn't have a pattern, but I wish I would've so I could make some more.  I used glitter white yarn to add a little sparkle.  The 2011 is written in sequins.  I thought it turned out so cute.  The best part?  I whipped this up in about a day and a half.  Start to finish!  That includes having to redo part of it because I didn't like the shape.  

I want to try making another one because it was pretty fun.

Flower Hat

I knitted these matching hats on a loom.  I then crocheted the flowers for the hats.  My niece LOVED her hat.  George loved his hat too!

Crochet Cocoon

I made this cocoon for my nephew.  I made this cocoon using a knitting loom.  It was pretty easy to make.  I wish I would have done a different color.

Crochet Project

I taught myself to crochet about a year ago.  It was kind of a whim.  I looked up some "how to" videos on youtube to learn.  I watched a few videos and wa-lah!  

This is actually my second afghan I have  done.  I didn't get pictures of the first one because I finished it about 2 minutes before the baby shower.

This afghan was a lot of fun. It was fun to do the waves.  The only thing I didn't like about this afghan was the yarn.  The orange was thicker than the green or blue.  It made the whole thing go a little lumpy.  I don't know why it was the case.  I bought the same brand of yarn for each color.  Oh, well.  I still think it is pretty cute.
