A co-worker of mine was about to become an auntie for the very first time, and wanted something special for her niece. She asked if I could help with an idea and make something for her to give to her sister for the baby, and this is what we came up with. A knit hat, […]

Shell Stitch Crochet Wool Scarf 2013
I made this wool scarf in a simple shell stitch, using Patons Classic Wool Worsted yarn. I believe the colorway was called Rosewood. When I bought this, Patons sold it as a 100% Merino wool. I can’t seem to find it anymore except as a wool blend, which is thoroughly disappointing. I do not have […]
Crochet Sun Hats 2015
These three are sun hats I made for babies. The yellow one fits a child about 12 -18 months old, and the green one and pink one I made to fit my 6-month-old twin nieces, but should fit them for at least a year. They were very simple to make, but I had no pattern […]
Knit Stretch Slippers 2013 & 2014
These are the same slippers I always make. These were a friend of mine in South Texas, who says they are just like the ones her mother used to make 50 or more years ago. It is a standing tradition now, that I send her at least one pair of these EVERY Christmas! The first […]
Star of Life 2016
This was a special personalized project. This crocheted afghan was made for my boyfriend’s oldest son. It fits a twin size bed. The initials across the top (MMW II) are his initials. As soon as he turned 18 years old, he started EMT classes. He received his state EMT credentials a few months later, and […]
André Cable Scarf 2008
This double-cable scarf was something I created on a whim. I was learning how to do cables in knitting, and decided to see what I could come up with on my own. It turned out so well, I decided to write up the pattern and put it on Ravelry.com and I’ve had good feedback on […]
Knit Stretch Slippers 2008
Slippers I made for my brother T. He is a size 13EEE, so these were probably the largest pair I’ve EVER made! I made these from a pattern I found on the internet, but I had a bit of difficulty with the pattern, so I changed and adapted the pattern just a little. They resemble […]
Baby’s Knit Hooded Poncho 2008
I wish I had the other photos I had taken of this cute poncho without my grandson wearing it. It would show you much better what it looks like. I can tell you my grandson loved it and when I tried to take it off, he kept trying to pull at it to keep it […]
Infant Hat and Booties 2008
This set was made for my sister-in-law’s best friend mine, for her baby boy, Devin. They’ve been friends for so long, that they are family! lol I do not recall what pattern was used for the hat, as it was such a long time ago. However, the booties were adapted from a pattern found on […]
Knit Wool Hats & Mittens 2014
These were made for a couple friends of mine. The gray was for a male adult, the multi-colored was for an adult female. They are made from 100% wool, although they were two different brands. The gray was purchased at Hobby Lobby, and is called “I Love This Wool!” and the color is actually a […]
Knit Hats 2008
Two more hats made in 2008, using the Red Heart “Family of Hats” pattern. The pen in the image is for size/height comparison. The yellow and blue hat is made slightly smaller. I don’t recall what size these were, but the blue and yellow was probably sized for a small toddler. The other was likely […]
Child’s Mittens and Hat (Knit) 2008
These mittens and hats were made for my 4 year old nephew A., and my two year old nephew, M. I do not have a picture of the other hat. The mittens were made using a free pattern from somewhere on the internet! The hats were made using a pattern from Red Heart. The “dummy […]
