Twinkle, twinkle, little star

We're welcoming a baby girl into our family in June.  I found this pattern on Ravelry and fell in love!!!  It's worked from the middle out, and will be a square blanket...haven't figured that part out yet, but I'll bet it has to do with the short rows on the edging.  I'm about 1/3 of the way done, and just love this pattern!!  If you look close, you'll see the little stars in the pattern.

Inspiration from big sis

My big sis was here for a couple of days, and so we had to go shop!!!  She needed a new crochet hook holder.  The one I made her was so admired by her daughter-in-law's mother, she decided to make her one.

We got 2 fat quarters, and folded, re-folded, and figured out how to put it together with the least amount of sewing time.  Between us, it worked out pretty well.  I had leftover fleece we used for the lining.

I made two larger pockets on the left for scissors, and my 'Q' and 'S' hooks.


Also, on Knit Nite, I started another little owlet, and got it done Friday night!!!  This is a gift to my preacher. She loves squishy little cute things!!!

More rings---I'm addicted to them!

Most of you saw the witch doctor rings in person...Well, now I have two more to share with you.

Meet Mike:

The Merry Christmoose Dahling moose:

I am telling you, these take a couple of hours, and are so fun to do.  I used pipe cleaners instead of cable needles for the pictures because I was at church and didn't have my cables with me.
If you get a hankering for making rings, go to Ravelry queenofsheeba's page.  she has a lot of cute little projects.

Just a simple hat

This is a simple hat I made for the mitten tree at church.  I am also testing if I can get pictures on the blog.  So far so good.
Enjoyed our lunch so much!!!  Love you great bunch of gals!!!

Witch Doctors and Voodoo

Found this little cable holder on Ravelry, and HAD to make one.  Then I decided I needed a voodoo guy to match.  I had to make some revisions;  I didn't have any pull tabs, so I made I-cord to hold onto my finger.
This was so fun.  If I know anyone who does lots of cable stitches, she may just get one of these!!!

I saw the witch doctor

Yes, I have definitely lost it, but I love crazy!!!

Jacoby fingerless mittens

It only took me 7 days, but I got these done (two at a time!) for a girlfriend who is leaving next Friday for Winter in Arizona.

Do you love my model?   I shall call her Lefty.  Found her at a beauty supply store.  My son said it creeped him out!!!!

Merry Christmas to all!!

Busy little hands

My, oh my, my little hands are tired.  I still have one more set of wristlets to make; they are about 2.5 inches along.
BUT,  what I have finished is below.

Susie's Reading Mitts:

Made with hand-dyed yarn from my favorite little yarn store in Kansas.

For Good Hat:

Girl's Helmet Cap:

The helmet cap is from an old pattern my mom had.  Many thanks to Miss Hilda, the model (even though she has a SMALL head).  The hats will be given to charity; the mitts to my future daughter-in-law!!!!  Yay!!!  Nick is engaged!!!
