Little lamb ear warmer for my little lamb

By on November 2, 2011 in crochet, Yarn Along

Yarning Along with Ginny again.  On Saturday we will be going to Pioneer Day and it should be chilly out.  I love Pioneer Day.  There are usually knitters, spinners, weavers and lots of demonstrations going on all done in period costume they way they would have been done by the pioneers.  I made this little lamb ear warmer for Livie to keep her cute and warm and I am almost done making her a pair of matching longies.

I am happy to see it on her.  I designed this pattern when she was born and then never got it tested or finalized so by the time I wanted to make her another one, I had to resize the pattern so I now have a newborn pattern, sizes 12 months as well as 2T.  Anyone want to test the pattern for me?

Hopefully the longies will be done in time for her to wear them on Saturday. I love longies! I never made them until I had Livie and I am sure that when she is finally potty trained I will keep making them for her until she looks ridiculously too big to wear such things anymore : )

I am still working my way through the kimono I started last week and hope to get it done in the next few nights.

A cowl in October

By on October 12, 2011 in crochet, Handmade Christmas Challenge, Yarn Along

I’m playing along with the Yarn Along over at Small Things this week.  I am starting on Christmas presents and this is the first. I won’t say who it is for but this is such a yummy wool yarn.  The colors are all washed out for some reason and tomorrow when Alex gets back I will get her to fix it but in the meantime here it is.

This is a cross between a cowl and a scarf but I am sticking with calling it a cowl. It can be worn a few different ways but for some reason I did not take those pictures.  I love the leather button on it, I have been saving it for a few years and this was the perfect project to put it on.

Do you knit or crochet?  Click on the link in the first paragraph and play along with Ginny from Small Things. If you don’t do either I am starting a craft-along (inspired by Ginny’s Yarn-along), more info on that tomorrow.

Right now my crochet basket is full of projects and if you want to do the cowl, shoot me an email and I will send you my pattern (er…right now it is just scribble scrabble but I will type it up and get it to you : )
