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 […]
Crochet Long Cardigan 2017
I wasn’t sure I wanted to share this… Not because I don’t like it, but rather because I am the one modeling it in the pictures. I don’t feel this is a flattering sweater on me, although it may look nicer on other people. I do, however, love how warm this is! It’s almost like […]
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 […]
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 […]
Bulky Slouch Hat 2015
This was made from a pattern that is now a paid pattern, but was given for free for a very short time. The name of the pattern is called “Totally Rad Slouchy Hat”. Originally, I found this in a Facebook crochet group I belong to, but I think it may be on Ravelry too. I […]
Pink Sands 2016
This was made as a birthday gift for my boyfriend’s daughter, who was turning 18. She wanted pink, so I gave her a few palettes to pick from and she chose these colors. I told her the design had to be a surprise, and I found a lovely pattern. The pattern is from Bernat, and […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
