left here on friday to go to my local fabric store, it's over 30 miles away. well out of the 2 store clerks in thre that didn't want to wait on anybody after 20 minutes of waiting I and 3 other couples left the store. couldn't find valentines nor st paticks day material anyways. went to sears and they didnt have the VCR rape/DVD machine. so it was to swansea we went,. now that sears store had them. also that Joanns had plenty of different colors of maerial. finially finished that gift card from c from 2 years ago and got the sprinkly material.

saw a really nice fire truck design with ladder that i will put on a kids sweater starting tonight. thinking a dark blue for the background so the fire truck in red can show up.

also working on the raspberry twist hat and i think i will make long fingerless gloves to match that pattern.

earflap hat for vinnnie using camo yarn

cape cod blue raglan sleeve sweater=vickys son in la in MI.

new and completed projects

bluew sweater i had to take out all of what was sent to me as it would turn out to be a size 68 and i'm doing this as a raglan sleeve sweater, very basic.





didn't like the ribbing so took that apart and am redoing that and decreasing stitches as i go along.







new project this is a valentine tine scarf. it has x's and o's around each side and honeycombs columns. then the center heart cable. it's featured in one of barbara walkers books. i did find several mistake in the pattern myself.




this is the center heart section.









this shows the x's and o's. i also found that 52 sts for a scarf, even on size 3 needles was just too wide. think i will remove the honeycombs and maybe the border stitches.

completed projects

long majestic (marvel) coat sweater. it's very light weight as i used pound of love, about 2 lbs worth.

like the drape and the comfortiness of it. one size fits all. its roomy.

child size 4 duck sweater. was fun to knit this one.

pattern for crochet towel toppers

wolf knit hat

this is step 1, this is assuming you have cut the purchaed towel in half and what i do is sew down that edge at least 1/4 to 1/2"
this is where i then insert the needle with a bit of yarn on it. to start the project off

this is step 2 notice how you put the needle into the towel and where the ends of the yarn are.

this is step 3

this is step 4 pull tight

keep the stitches at an even pace. i go about 2 stitches per inch.

to start off crocheting you can use the top loop to work sc's across the row

or use the side stitch or a combination of both. i then work a few rows of dc's then at the start of the next row i work one dc, skip one st, rep til end. repeat this til i have about 9 sttiches then work til that is about 3" long. to make the buttonhole i work 3 dc, ch3, skip 3 sts, work last 3 sts. on the return work 3 dc in ch space. work a few more rows of dc and end off.

to make the button i use yarn and ch3, join and work 2sc in ea st. then work a row of 2 dc in ea st. end off and attach to towel topper.

bunny hat pattern

hi julie, got your comment and i wasn't sure how to reply.

i see the white bunny hats with pink ears but find it's more for a girl and my grandson is almost 3 so wanted 'boy' colors.

the hat can be done in either knit or crochet.
to crochet. it's a basic hat for kids. ears start out at the bottom, ch6, work for 2" then increase each side 2 times. work that for 2" then decrease down to 3 sts.
now increase back up so it matches widest part of the ear, then dec down so you end up with the original 6 sts. if you fold it in half it should match. what i did then as to crochet in the darker color of blue around the whole thing and attach bottom section to the hat. i also put a pipe cleaner in.
make another ear to match.

to knit it's a basic knit hat
for the ears co 6 sts, work for 2" then inc 1st each side eor 2 times til there are 10st, work for 2", dec down to 3 sts (one half of the ear is done). now work by inc up to 10sts and work for 2", dec down to 6sts and work for 2", bo and put in pipe cleaner and crochet the outer edging with sc n darker blue. you could also knit and bo at the same time around the outer edge.
make another to match.
