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 […]

Knit Cabled Fingerless Mitts 2018
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
SquareBob SpongyPants Earflap Beanie 2015
Yes, I know the title not exactly what the character name is, but this is to prevent infringement of the copyrighted character. This was made for one of my granddaughters as a Christmas gift. She just loves that yellow sponge guy, and I found this pattern on Repeat Crafter Me. I think that is probably […]
Penguin Earflap Beanie 2015
I just love this hat! I made this for my 4-year-old granddaughter for Christmas. I think the earflap beanies are just so cute on the little ones! As long as they like them and will wear them, I’ll keep making them! This pattern was found at Repeat Crafter Me, and is fairly easy and quick […]
