Birthday Girl Crochet!…

October 15, 2013 By 13 Comments

Tomorrow is my First Born Granddaughters 6th Birthday...  I needed to make her something crochet as always… But in true Crochet-A-Holic style… I didn’t get started until Sunday night… So… I had to find something magnificent and easy to make… Something for a true Girl!!!!

.

I saw this sweater over on Moogly’s sight… It is a free pattern and super cute!!! But the question was,,, could I make it in just a few hours…  I decided to give it a shot!!  The party is tonight and  I only had Sunday evening and Monday evening… YAY… I did it!!!  So here is my version of Moogly’s Eloise Girls Sweater…

I used Red Heart Yarn and a I Hook… This is a 4/6-year-old size.   I loved the way it turned out and the pattern was easy to follow and the bonus is,,, No piecing!  She has written the pattern also for baby and toddler…

.

Now off to the party!!!

Traveling Crochet….

September 27, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Yesterday we headed out on our 2 1/2 hour journey through the mountain roads to our daughters Varsity Volleyball Game… Oh what fun!!!  Hmmm… I needed a project to take for the road trip… I have been making so many Amazing Grace Hats… I needed something new!!!  I purchased some self striping yarn recently and wanted to use it… so this is what I started…

Love the color changes…

.

I used DROPS delight 13, it’s a fingering weight wool mix… I used a G Hook in a Single Crochet Chevron pattern… This will be 6″ wide and the length still to be determined… I think it will take 2-3 balls of this gorgeous yarn.. I will update when it is finished.. The yarn is  $4.89 US per skein and they do flat rate shipping… so I ordered several skeins… Love it…

.

Also using this yarn… From last week’s 2nd place Fan Favorite Slouch Beanie... If you remember my last post.. My 17-year-old wanted this hat… This inspired me to order this yarn originally and make it… Here is a picture of the finished hat using DROPS Delight 10…

My daughter loved her new hat… And.. Yes,,, They won their Volleyball Game… 3 hours of a very closely matched game and we were headed back home…

So here is to Road Trip Projects, Self Striping Yarn and 17-year-old daughters!.
