the weather is getting cooler, do ya need a scarf???

I just may have one for ya!


Here are the scarves I completed and attempted to sell... sorry I can't remember the exact color of most the yarns used, I don't have the labels with me or my notebook with the details so I'm just guessing on most of them! (I can't even begin to tell you what the homespun blue was really called or the berella 4 either)


I made two of these, lemonade homespun, thin and short, perfect for a little girl...

Vanna's choice, gray something Vanna's Choice, mauve-ish Patons Poodle Two homespuns. Lemonade and a blue Red Heart Soft, turquoise and teal Bernat Berella 4, pinkish mauve color Vanna's Choice, Pea Green, color isn't showing up real well but I really like this one! Red Heart Soft, Turquoise Homespun blue something Red Heart Symphony, orange
Vanna's Choice, Violet and Olive
Red Heart Baby, green
Mainstays, fun fur like stuff.. black with silver and blueish puffs (that was an amazing description I know!)

There was I think one more scarf maybe two that I didn't get photographed, I made them while sitting there.

Enjoy, hopefully in November I can sell a couple of them at least, I am going to try and whip up some hats to go with some of them, any suggestions to which ones would be best with a hat? Let me know!

Happy Weekend All!

Granny Squares!!!

So a fellow Crochetville memeber and blogger has asked to see some of the things we have done with Grannies, so I decided I'd give her a peak. I have not completed all that many grannies for the simple fact that I am still not comfortable with joining them... I have only ever connected 12 or was it 16 (I'm really not sure, I will have to take a pic later and add it, I do believe since the afghan is not completed that I have not photographed it yet. It's a giant granny square afghan with the 12 or 16 smaller grannies in the center, then a continues round outside of that)

A few months ago I was part of the Spring Secret Pals Swap at the ville and in the begining they asked us to donate at least one square for some end of the round prizes and I think a ville gahn too... I donated 10, after I did the first few I just flew thru them, I followed a few patterns for the first couple and then after that I made some up as I went along...

all images are clickable...

Other than that I made the squares for my gaint granny #2 (as mentioned in another post and earlier in this one) which were just your basic granny. Which I thought I had pictures of in my photobucket so I could add them while here at work, and I don't! That stinks...

So I will end this with some more images of the first giant granny I made (and completed)

I'll be back shortly to add a post with pics of my scarves....

almost a month!

It has been almost a month since I last posted! Oye... I simply admire people who can update and post on a daily basis or even a regular basis. I have been feverishly working away at various projects. I'm in the middle of a swap at crochetville so I have been working up lots of goodies for my pal (who doesn't know who I am, shhh!) We are nearing the end of the swap so I've got to get in gear and finish up the last few things I'd like to send her. I also have been working on some baby afghans, I finished one on saturday and started another one, I will have two showers to go to in November so I am trying to get them done in plenty of time so I am not rushing to finish them in time. And because I am planning on making a good deal of my Christmas presents this year I will need as much of November as possible to get all of those items done. Sometimes I think I set unobtainable goals for myself, but there was a time a few months ago, just after we moved when I sat down after work one night and had nothing to do... and I didn't like it. I really think that I like being overly busy and having a full plate/ busy schedule... I don't like just sitting there, it's boring... which is probably the reason I have like 10 wips going right now... Hopefully I can get somewhere on them soon, I no longer sit and just watch TV I have to have a hook in hand working on something.... again I can't just sit there, TV is boring if I'm not crocheting while watching. I know I say this all the time but I will try my hardest this time to remeber to post some pictures of the things I've finished most recently... I still have to post the pics of all the scarves I made and attempted to sell. Oh that's what else I have to do, make some hats to go with the scarves to try and sell them again... I'm hoping that a hat and scarf set might sell better then just a scarf.... yes-no? Well that's all I've got for now since I don't have the pics here with me to post!
