the Knotty Hooker: These Booties Were Made for Walkin'
http://theknottyhooker.blogspot.com/2006/09/these-booties-were-made-for-walkin.html
These Booties Were Made for Walkin'. The baby shower was today and I was up until after midnight last night and before nine this morning, but I. Finished these damn booties! They really are quite sweet, but my pictures don't really do them justice. Here's the image from the pattern:. The pattern indicates these are "easy", but I might go as far as to say they are a good intermediate project. There's nothing too. Funky about them - your basic stitches and decreases - but they are a tad. WowEm the booties ...

the Knotty Hooker: Hats are *Tops*!
http://theknottyhooker.blogspot.com/2006/09/hats-are-tops.html
Finally - something good to come of insomnia! I forgot that I had a ball of Patons Shetland Chunky in Charcoal grey left over from a cable scarf I knit for my husband, and I've got enough baby yarn to clothe an orphange, so, while I was busy not. Sleeping, I figured - why not try an adult size hat? It features the same Two-Layer Irish Rose. As discussed in my last post, only this time I decided to try it with two colours. And - instead of ending with a round of sc like the Double Crochet Head Hugger.

T-Ra provided our craft group with a plethora of card making supplies during Sunday's monthly get-together, so I decided to put down my crochet hook and make a card for a friend of mine who's been dealing with some really crappy. crap lately. (Thanks, T-Ra! I like homemade gifts to look like homemade gifts (thankfully, I suck, so this is not a difficult effect to achieve), so instead of using a paper-cutter for a precise, sharp edge, I decided to just fold and tear the edges of the paper.

the Knotty Hooker: Scarf-ace
http://theknottyhooker.blogspot.com/2006/11/scarf-ace_21.html
I've been wearing these around town for a while now so I figured it was about damn time I posted a picture! The ear-flap hat was a surprisingly easy pattern from the Funky Chunky. Book It's a basic hat pattern crocheted in rounds, but you don't turn at the end of each round. I think this makes for a less noticeable seam at the back. It took approximately 3 hours total, but keep in mind that I did one ear flap, the tassels and the pompom in the car. (Don't worry - I wasn't driving! View my complete profile.

Hooking in my Hoolan. Me, my crafts, and whatever life throws my way. Otherwise known as the most boring blog ever! Sunday, December 31, 2006. I recently finished my first venture into filet crochet, something that seems quite complicated and I wasn't sure I was ready for. Well, I didn't try anything delicate or complicated. There was no steel hook or thread involved. Instead I tried a rather simple filet scarf. Bernat Cott'n Silk, 3 skeins of 1.75 oz. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.

I'm putting these two dishcloths in the same post because the patterns were together on the Bernat web site, and you can find the file here. This is the ridged dishcloth:. And here's a close-up of the stitches:.
