Stitch Whimsy

I just whipped up a Crochet Needle Case. I am anticipating the arrival of my new needles. I wanted to make sure to have somewhere to put them. I devised this little case to do the trick. There is another view on my flickr account.

I am making an afghan of sorts. These are the bare bones of it. I like to crochet granny squares, but they have such large holes. It’s sad that they can’t be relied on for warmth. Believe me, I will find a way to make them warmer.

Here is where I spent my nervous energy last night. This hat goes with the scarf I made already…the one that debut as the first scarf collar. Ah the joy of crochet.

This is a set I made for a man. I used a larger gauge needle for this one…a 6. It took me two days to get this stuff done. YAY me.

Finally finished the mittens to match the hat and scarf collar. I don’t think I ever want to make mittens again. It was frustrating and they still didn’t come out like I pictured:

Here is the collar:

There would have been more brown, but I was trying to conserve as this is a color that is no longer made.

Just wanted to let you know that I have started a help page of sorts on Squidoo. Check it out, leave a comment, pick up some vintage crochet hooks from eBay, like I did.

Metal hooks are the way to go for me, especially if they are by Boye. I grew up with my grandmother using these hooks. Any others just won’t do.

This is the scarf collar I have been saving to show you all for a while. Let me know what you think!!! It buttons around the side so that you don’t have to wrap a scarf numerous times around you and try to keep it down when the wind blows.

This hat is made from light green silky yarn. It feels delicious!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEKO!!!

In honor of your 18th birthday, I have made you the hat to end all hats … hehe:

Hope you like it! I will be sending it …probably on Thursday. What do y’all think?

I made him two hats yesterday and am working on a scarf collar to go with the blue one right now. Scarf collar…don’t forget…will be officially revealed on FRIDAY. Anyway, here are the two hats I made him:

How do you like? He loves them.
