I made these for a young teen girl, in her favorite color, teal. Well, shades of teal…These are a basic mitten, unfinished at the fingertips and thumb-tip. You can find any knit mitten pattern and modify it. I did this in a K4, P2 pattern, adding stitches for the thumb gusset, and working the cable […]
Beret or Tam 2019
(NOTE: Created under old blog name of NoCo Crafts) Another chilly night and this was born! It’s been so cold this winter, I’ve come up with quite a few quick, small projects. This beret has no pattern. I started with a basic circle motif, and simply worked it up by adding stitches every couple of […]
Infant Ladybug Dress 2018
This dress was made at the last minute for a baby shower. Actually, it was a shower for my son’s girlfriend, who was due with my 10th grandchild! I had already made a couple small things, and purchased diapers and a few cutesy outfits, but I got this idea in my head, and just ran […]
Snowman Stockings 2017
I made a total of 19 of these adorable Christmas stockings! Eight for my grandchildren, two for stepdaughter and her boyfriend, two for my stepsons, two for their little sister and their niece, one for my sister-in-law’s daughter, two for a co-worker, and two extra because I had miscounted! LOL This was not my own […]
Another Little Girls Dress 2017
Yet another little girl’s chevron dress. This one is for my almost 6 year old granddaughter. Below is an image showing off the 2 1/2 year-old and 7 year-old granddaughters wearing their dresses for Easter Sunday! (I think I’ll make vests for the boys for the next time they dress in their “Sunday Best”!) These […]
Snoopy Love Throw Blanket 2017
This is the second graph pattern I’ve attempted, and I do love the way it turned out. I created the graph for this blanket using an graph-making program. I’m really beginning to enjoy making graph blankets, although they are quite time consuming and can be a bit intimidating! Maybe next time I’ll try one with […]
C2C Afghan 2017
Twin size afghan made for the spare bedroom of our apartment. I just love the colors! The yarn used is Caron® Cakes™ and the color is called “Faerie Cake”. Beautiful soft teals/greens/creams. In the border I also used solid white Lion Brand® Pound of Love™, followed by more of the Faerie Cake color. I do […]
Unicorn Earflap Hats 2017
These are three unicorn hats I was commissioned to make. The pattern is a paid pattern, found at BriAbby.com. Although they each used 100% acrylic yarn, there was a variety of brands I had on hand, so I used up what I could. In addition to what is listed below, I also used small amounts […]
Creeper Beanies
These are two beanies I made with the Minecraft® Creeper theme. I cannot recall where I found the pattern, but I do recall that I ended up modifying the pattern I started with. I just could not make sense of the original pattern. Both were made with Red Heart Super Saver worsted weight yarn. The […]
Wreath with Poinsettias 2016
I’ve been working on slippers for my grandkids, but I’ve just had to take a little break from them for a couple days! So, this is what I’ve made during that break… A nice little Christmas wreath with poinsettias on it. I like how it turned out, but I’m thinking it needs something for balance. […]
Snow White Slouchy Hat 2015
This was made using the same pattern as the Bulky Slouchy hats, but with worsted weight yarn. The yarn used was Red Heart Soft. I love the texture and look of the yarn. It has a light, sort of “glossiness” to it. The pattern is Totally Rad Slouchy, which is currently a paid pattern, but […]
