I found a lovely pattern on Etsy by Make And Do Crew, and decided I wanted to try making it for myself. It’s made by creating two hexagonal pieces and stitching them together in some manner, with extra length added to the sleeves, lower edge, and front sections. It seems like these patterns are quite […]

Bucket Hats
Something I’ve been doing lately is sewing. I used to have a good sewing machine, prior to our move to California. But, in our efforts to save precious packing space in the SUV, I sold it. And sold all my thread, fabric, cutting mat, rotary cutter, and all mask-making materials. You know those masks… everyone […]
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 […]
Soulmates 2009
These are felted clog-style slippers I made from a paid pattern from Fiber Trends. Actually, there are two patterns… Adult sizes and child sizes. I wish I could find my pattern pamphlets because I would SOOOO make these again! One pair that I made I rubberized the soles, so I could occasionally go outside with […]
Batman Earflap Hat 2015
So… A Batman hat… Maybe not the most original idea, however it was made for one of my grandsons as a gift this past Christmas. The hat itself is just a basic earflap beanie, with the bat logo stitched to the yellow oval. The oval has white trim around it, and is then stitched to […]
Virus Shawl 2016
I love this shawl! I actually started this one last autumn, and it was my “car project”… that one project that I only work on during car rides, hence the reason it took me until springtime to finish it! I used Red Heart Unforgettable in colorway “Echo”. It is light and airy enough to wear during spring […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
