Mermaid

My sister called up and said she needed a mermaid...so here she is. I crocheted her with Lily Sugar & Cream. Her body was one of the scented ones, so she smells like Chamomile! I used some flower beads for her crown. I think she turned out pretty cute :)

Grampa's Lapghan

Made this one for my Grandfather :) It's made with a double strand of Wool-Ease Thick & Quick on size 19 needles!

Homespun Shawl

Here is a shawl I just made using Lionbrand Homespun yarn. I absolutely LOVED working with this yarn...the colors were so beautiful! It was certainly a pleasure to knit. The pattern wasn't bad, and I was able to finish the shawl in 3 days :)

Crochet Puppy

Knitting Needle Bouquet

Sea Critters...

These guys are crocheted. The seahorse was a new pattern posted this week on crochetpatterncentral.com and I got the little jellyfish pattern off there too. Had fun making these :)

Pardon My Pixie Dust!

Dave and I got Delilah a Tinkerbell board game for her birthday. Being one who has a small obsession with all things dice, I was really put off by the one little cruddy looking die that came with the game. To rectify the situation, I ordered some prettier dice...one to match each fairy...and knitted up this little pouch for her to keep them in. I think she'll really like it!

Excessive? Probably...

So, I am a fan of Lionbrand yarn on Facebook, and today they said- Post a picture of your stash! So I went to take a pic...fortunately, I just recently sorted through and put the yarn in all these little baskets, so it kinda made a cool picture. Anyway, this is actually just over half of my stash...I couldn't fit ALL the baskets in the pic. And all my dishcloth yarn is organized in another whole place...and there's some yarn here and there around the house, some in my knitting bag...and various other places. Wow, when I think about it, maybe this is just UNDER half of my stash. I better get to knittin!

Little Spring Sweater!

This new pattern was posted on my fave knitting pattern site on Saturday. It was so cute I had to make one. It knitted up very quick. I used Sugar N' Cream, and it called for size 10 needles, so the sweater feels really soft. Might have to make some more of these...

Interchangeable

Here is a little princess I made. Created my own pattern for her! I decided to give her interchangeable hair, that way she can be many princesses in one. I'm still working on it all, but this is what I have so far...generic red hair and Rapunzel hair!

Five

Here is a set of five baby washcloths I knitted. These were fun!

Little Cupcake

More Food!

Here is a taco I made! I really like how it turned out! I modified the pattern some to fit my own purposes...haha. I made the meat different than what they had- I wanted it to be flat on the bottom and curved on top to match the shape of the taco, plus I added some bobbles to make it look more "meaty". Then I did the lettuce all in one piece instead of 6 separate ones. The taco again, with the chips and salsa I made...

Donut and Strawberry Pop Tart. I had the perfect yarn for the icing on the Pop Tart, all the same colors as the sprinkles on the real deal!
And here is an egg and some toast!

It Ain't Knitted, Folks!

Yes, it's true...I have learned to crochet. Knitting is still my first love, but I kept seeing all these cute amigurumi things in crochet so I had to learn. Here is a slice of pizza I just finished- I'm very pleased with how it turned out! I'll try to post some pics of some of the other things I've made over the last year too...

Scarf

Finished this scarf on Sunday. I think it turned out nice. I like the pattern. It seems short at about 45 inches long, but that is actually 3 inches longer than the pattern called for, so I guess it is meant to be that way. This one is getting gifted today!
