I still need to get a form to hold the scarves, but I am pleased with it overall!

Super Excited!!!!

Ok so WOW been Super Busy!

Happy Tuesday Crocheters!

It's rainy and icky here in the Port City, which means staying home and hooking :D Oh yeah!

Anyhew, I've been super duper busy as of late, had someone send me a pic of a rope-like scarf she wanted made - couldn't find a pattern, so I made one up, and she was pleased and turned around and ordered 4 of them!

So here they are!

It truly is a simple pattern, using a 10mm hook and some bulky yarn chain 316, do a HDC in 2nd Chain from hook and across.  Slip stitch the ends together and loop to form a scarf.

The wrap is simple too, using a 9mm Hook

Chain 11
Row 1: 1 DC in 3rd Chain from Hook and Across, ch 3 & turn
Row 2: 1 DC in 2nd DC of Row 1, 1 DC in Skipped DC to form an X, repeat across for 5 total X's, ch 3 & turn
Row 3: Repeat Row 1

Sew a button onto the middle X

Wrap around scarf, and close using a slip stitch.

Super Simple!

Then last night while I was working on the above - my daughter went and got her Charmander toy I'd made her and she proceeded to sit down and read with him in her lap, LOVED seeing it so I snapped a pic

Last but certainly not least, yesterday my husband and I went over to a local Herbalife Club to have some breakfast smoothies, we've known the owners for years, and I picked up the Andy Hat & Scarf I'd made to give to the owner.  She loved it soo much she's offered me a display in her store to sell items, WHAT?!?! I am soo excited!  She told me she's already had inquiries from her customers about how they can get their own sets, so I immediately went to work on more sets in different colors.

Here she is wearing her gift, to say she's looking forward to colder weather is an understatement!

**Pic Shared with her Permission**

So add to the above a growing list of Christmas presents to make for my family I am going to be SUPER busy!  Which is a Good thing!

So that's all for now!

Have Fun Hooking my Friends!

FINALLY Got me a Head Form so I could show off...

Good Friday Evening Crocheters!

Hope Everyone's had an awesome week!

It's been good here...being unemployed sucks, but I am trying to make the best of it.

That being said I just had to make a Hobby Lobby run the other night with my son, he's requested a new Christmas Stocking and I figured, meh why not! I'd just finished one for my nephew, why not make him one too...sooo...while I was there I picked up a Styrofoam head form so I could show off some hats/scarves I've made recently!

Check it out

This set is probably my Favorite! The Andy Wrap Scarf & Hat!  I am in love with the Oatmeal color and texture of the Vanna White yarn!

Patterns:

I made the hat without a pattern, but later found one on Pinterest, click here to get the pattern from Rescued Paws Designs

The Scarf Pattern is also located on her website, click here for the Pattern

This set isn't quite finished yet - I need to add to the scarf and add some buttons to both the hat & the scarf, then it'll be done.

Patterns:

You can find the Hat Pattern here from Melanie Ham (BTW she's one of my Favorite Designers, just LOVE her stuff!)

And the Scarf can be found on Crafty Red's Site here.

Have Fun Kids!
