Warm and fuzzies

Hip, hip, crochet!

I took a beginner class from my LYS and we created a basic scarf learning the single, double and triple crochet stitch. I had almost a whole skein leftover after the basic scarf was made so I added the scalloped edge by double crocheting 5x's into the same stitch (not sure what that's called) on both sides. I've really enjoyed learning this craft and have been seeing things that include both knit and crochet. But the real reason I wanted to learn how to crochet is to make flowers and embellish stuff. This book looks fun.

Here's another warm and fuzzy. Muffin and my mom. You know how they say people choose pets that resemble themselves...Even though this is Muffin's Grandma don't they kind of look alike? Even the glasses!

This is why I LOVE technology. Never crocheted in my life. Need baby gift for Sunday. Began pacifier clip elephant pattern. Got to the ears, crap, they're crocheted! Oh no! Don't have much time left. I gotta figure it out. Go online. Search for videos. Found this one and other various web sites. And after two evenings and at least 20 attempts, finally figured it out as well as what the pattern was saying.


Oh yeah... doin' a dance... oh yeah... uh huh!
See it there? That cute little ear.


Needless to say I'm very proud of myself; not only for figuring it out but sticking with it and not giving up like I wanted to do oodles of times. But dangit my hand hurts. I think I had a death grip on that hook. Just need to do one more but I need to give my hand a rest. I'll post a new pic when it's all done. Goodnight!
