Hooking, Hooking, Hooking

Hello everyone,

Wow, it has been nearly 4 weeks since I have shared with you what I have been doing and yes I have been busy.

Where to start...

Hmm think I will start with a little pair of overalls I made for my son's partner's nephew. I am calling them "The Mechanic's Overall's" because it has a cute little car on the front.

I adapted the pattern from a lovely little pattern by Melody's Makings  There is some great patterns available that you should check out.

Anyway here are the photos. And before anyone says anything, yes I know they are very bright lol

 

What came next?

The next thing I made was another pair of slippers for our Miss Hannah. This time romance was the theme and let's face it, with Valentine's Day looming, a wise choice.

I used the Heart and Souls pattern and for the life of me I can not remember where I got it from and can't seem to find it in my files.

My apologies to the creator of this lovely pattern,

And then?

Then I made my hubby a new beanie for work as he is now going to be working nights and I don't want him to get a cold head.

It is called The Easy Ribbed Hat and you can find it on the ever clever, bobwilson123 website and Youtube channel.

Notice the quality of the photos are getting lots better?

Anything else?

And last but not least my favorite project.

I made this one for my great-niece and it only took a couple of days.

It is an Amigurumi (always have to check the spelling on this) and it is called Rainbow Cuddles Unicorn.

Not exactly the same as the one in the pattern but I am very proud of him just the same.

 

Current WIP'S?

Well my current WIP's are a pair of slippers for my husband with a twist. Stay tuned for these ones *wink*

I'm participating in my very first CAL (Crochet A Long) with The Crochet Crowd. 

Apparently it is an afghan and I am very excited to start it. I'll keep you posted with my progress. I start tomorrow with it.

There is also a second CAL which is through Moogly and that started yesterday but alas I don't have the yarn for it until the end of the week, but I'm hoping that I will be able to finish it in time for niece's 30th birthday.

Anywhoo my fellow crafters, 

I hope you have had a bit of a giggle at my work and that you are having a ball with your own projects.

Happy Crafting

Love

Owl Slippers, Fish and AFL Diaper Covers

Hello my fellow crafters,

Just a quick one to show you what I have been up and some things I only just got the photo's for.

So let's start with the recently finished.

My son's girlfriend, Miss Hannah has a deep fondness for Owls and when I saw the following pattern, I just knew I had to get it and make it.

It is the Majestic Owl Slippers for Adults from Trifles & Treasures owner Tera Kulling. You can find Tera's store at Ravelry.

I had a little bit of trouble when making the slippers and I emailed Terra, All I can say is, if you EVER have a problem with a pattern, email the designer, THEY ARE FANTASTIC!

Cute Things Made as Presents

Well I am sure I mentioned the fact that my eldest son's partner was becoming an aunty and the delightful little man was born on New Years Eve.

Anyway I crocheted up 3 diaper covers for her to give to her sister and her partner for their little bundle of joy.

I made a little pair of blue ones with red trim and red fish on the back and as both parent's are die hard Australian Rules Football (AFL) supporters, but for opposing teams, I designed two more pairs of diaper covers in their team colors. 

So when they go to watch Collingwood (Magpies) play, he can wear the little black and white ones or if they go to a Saint Kilda (Saints) game, he can wear the red, black and white ones. Not sure what they will do if they are playing each other though lol 

I was actually rather pleased with the way they turned out and am actually thinking about whether or not to go into making them and selling them! Hmm something to think about I am sure.

Well that is all from me for today, I have a couple of projects I am working on and will fill you in next time.

Happy Crafting,

Penny
