Knitting: Pet Clothing
I made Molly a cat hoodie quite some time ago. Jason and I thought RapCat (checkers’ commercials) was just too ridiculous and therefore, pretty funny. We invented a synario where RapCat was Molly’s secret lover and it was a long standing, pretty bizzare, joke. We even joked about Molly wearing RapCat’s hoodie, you know, the blue and blue one. W...

Knitting: Animal Toy
I originally designed this pattern around Easter time, but it has since become one of my year round favs and I have knit it 3 times and plan on making it many many more.
Knitting: Coffee / Tea Pot
I just bought a tea set from Target with some of my Christmas Money. It is a little one person set with a little red kettle, a mini tea pot, and a tea cup that fits underneath it. So cute. The tea pot does a good job of keeping my tea warm for a long time, but I am an exceptionally slow tea drinker so I thought it might need a little sweater. E...
Crochet: Scarf
A long, multi-color crochet scarf. As with all of Kristin Roach’s Craft Leftovers patterns, it is intended to be made with leftover bits of yarn from stash. Directions call for 1/2 skeins of 3 colors of worsted weight yarn. Scarf length can be adjusted by changing the number of pattern repeats. One pattern repeat is 4.5”.
Crochet: Containers
Some bits of craft leftovers and some remaining yarn on a cone = felted basket goodness. Without having weave in all those ends because of the felting, it’s the perfect thing to use up all those scraps.
Crochet: Washcloth / Dishcloth
Pattern calls for 4.25 mm hook and 1 oz of worsted weight cotton yarn.
Crochet: Headband
One ounce fingering weight yarn worked with a G hook. From the pattern: “Gauge doesn’t really matter for this little guy, looser or tighter it will look pretty cute.”
Crochet: Brimmed Hat
I love working in my garden in the summer, but after about 10am it becomes blistering hot. This hat is made out of a grass like material called raffia and keeps the sun off your head, ears, and neck. At the same time keeping you cool by letting the breeze through the open stitch work.
Knitting: Mid-calf Socks
This pattern is for a great standard sock. Knit with Green Prairie Fibers sock yarn - Easy Feet - and can also be knit with any of the fingering weight superwash merino yarns as well. This pattern is tried and true and if you follow it, you will get a great pair of socks that will keep your feet warm and cozy and will not slouch around your ank...
Crochet: Potholder
One of the things I like the most with crochet is that it works up to be a nice thick fabric. Unfortunately it can be alittle holey if it’s not worked tightly enough, so what would ideally be a nice pot holder is better served as a trivet. And really, what do you need more than 2 pot holders for - trivet though are what you really need a ton of...
